Inspiring Article

Think of your best friend.  Someone who has been with you through good times and bad.  Someone who is willing to risk your rejection and anger to be honest with you for the glory of God.  Ever had a friend like that?  I have and it is a blessing.  They are rare.  We need godly friends who point us to the one, true Savior and who we can rely on when confessing sin as this article says.  I would add a caution, though, not many people are brave enough to be this kind of friend, so choose wisely.

A Favorite Song

"What a Friend we have in Jesus" is a favorite hymn of mine.  It just speaks comfort to my heart.  Listen to Alan Jackson's version here.

A Thought to Ponder

Go and be the kind of friend God would have you be.
