Proverbs 18:24 Friends 8/28/2005 PM Dr. Dane Boyles

Proverbs 18:24 - Friends 24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (Prov 18:24) God has given us some principles to guide us in accomplishing this task. Delivered by Dane Boyles to the Leander Church of Christ at Crystal Falls

Proverbs 18:24 - Friends Choosing Sides Is A Poor Way To Cultivate Friends. 18 Casting the lot settles disputes and keeps strong opponents apart. (Prov 18:18) There are always those who want us to choose sides. Building true friendships with such people is nearly impossible. Delivered by Dane Boyles to the Leander Church of Christ at Crystal Falls

Proverbs 18:24 - Friends There are times we need to choose. However, our choices must be based upon the principles established by God’s Word, not personal manipulation. Biblical principles are never based upon personalities. 14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Gal 5:14) Delivered by Dane Boyles to the Leander Church of Christ at Crystal Falls

Proverbs 18:24 - Friends The Lord is Our Source for Building Present Friendships and for Reaching New Friends. God desires us to be a friend to others He is our Strength and our Supply. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (2 Cor 5:17) Delivered by Dane Boyles to the Leander Church of Christ at Crystal Falls

Proverbs 18:24 - Friends Guidelines from Scripture on Friends and Friendship. Make sure of your friends and covet their friendship. 3 then do this, my son, to free yourself, since you have fallen into your neighbor's hands: Go and humble yourself; press your plea with your neighbor! (Prov 6:3) Our selfish pride! Delivered by Dane Boyles to the Leander Church of Christ at Crystal Falls

Proverbs 18:24 - Friends Understand that a friend's love is a very real strength in our hour of adversity. 17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. (Prov 17:17)     9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: 10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! (Eccl 4:9-10) Delivered by Dane Boyles to the Leander Church of Christ at Crystal Falls

Proverbs 18:24 - Friends Sacrifices are willingly made by friends for their friends. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13) Pray that God would make us friendly. 24 A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. (Prov 18:24) Delivered by Dane Boyles to the Leander Church of Christ at Crystal Falls

Proverbs 18:24 - Friends Conclusion Do we want to influence people with the message of Christ? Are we willing to be a true friend? What is the condition of our present friendships? Are we actively looking to build new bridges that God might use us? 17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn’t do it, sins. (Jas. 4:17) Delivered by Dane Boyles to the Leander Church of Christ at Crystal Falls
