21. What is Common with All of Us? We are all fallen… –Proverbs 22:24-25 –“ Make no friendship with a man given to anger, nor go with a wrathful man, lest you learn his ways and entangle yourself in a snare. ”

22. What is the Point of Friendship? Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpens iron.” –You care Proverbs 17:9-10 “ Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends. A rebuke goes deeper into a man of understanding than a hundred blows into a fool. ” Proverbs 27:14 “ Whoever blesses his neighbor with a loud voice, rising early in the morning, will be counted as cursing. ”

23. What is the Point of Friendship? Proverbs 27:17, “Iron sharpens iron.” –Deep does not mean many Proverbs 18:24 “ A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. ”

24. Reasons to Stay Together? Good over the Bad –Money Proverbs 19:4, 6 –Just a joke Proverbs 26:18-19 “ Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows, and death is the man who deceives his neighbor and says, "I am only joking!" ”

25. Reasons to Stay Together? Good over the Bad –Honesty Proverbs 27:6 “ Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. ” Proverbs 27:9 “ Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel. ” Proverbs 28:23

26. The Horizontal vs. The Vertical? Friendships reflect your Relationship to God –We were not meant to be isolated creatures Genesis 2:18 –Your pride that pushes people away, makes God distant as well Psalm 59:11-13

27. The Horizontal vs. The Vertical? –Your pride that pushes people away, makes God distant as well Psalm 59:11-13 “ Kill them not, lest my people forget; make them totter by your power and bring them down, O Lord, our shield! For the sin of their mouths, the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride. For the cursing and lies that they utter, consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, that they may know that God rules over Jacob to the ends of the earth. ”
