- Nov 3, 2022Bold as Lions – Prayer
Bold as Lions – PrayerOur evangelistic efforts must begin with prayer. The entire process is incarnational.

Our prayers also effect change in our own hearts as God moves us to love that person more deeply.

- Sep 2, 2022Disagreement
DisagreementBeing best friends does not always mean we have to agree on everything always. However, it usually means that we are in agreement on the main parameters of our worldview. Can friends disagree? What is simply a matter of opinion, and what is a truth claim made upon or lives?
- Aug 25, 2022Shared Interest
Shared InterestNothing is more encouraging and helpful than a best friend who will join you in some sort
of cause or fight. When troubles come our way, we want someone in our corner who we can rely
upon. It is also valuable to have a friend who appreciates what you regard as good. It’s easy to
paint Jesus as this best friend, but what about our role? Do we love what Jesus loves? Do we
engage in the same causes that Jesus fights for? - Aug 19, 2022Support
SupportOne of the great blessings of friendship is the support given from one person to another. Life is challenging and not meant to be tackled alone. Jesus can provide support for us in any and every situation, but maybe we need to consider how it is that we support the work of Jesus.
- Aug 12, 2022Joy

never backstab or malign us. What about our part? Are we loyal on our end? What does it look like to be loyal to a best friend that everyone seems to hate? - Jul 29, 2022Be Steadfast
