You Are Who You Run With (7 of 10)
Series: Who's In Your Fave 5?
Pastor Chris Brown
Psalm 1
Why Some Friends Bring Us Down:
Psalm 1:1, Proverbs 12:15, 29:5, 22:24, 1 Corinthians 15:33, Galatians 6:1-2
- They give us bad advice.
- They encourage us to make bad decisions.
- They lower our standards.
3 Important Friendship Questions:
Psalm 1:2-6, John 15:4-15, Proverbs 27:5-6, 27:17, Psalm 119:105, 2 Timothy 2:15
1. Who do I get my advice from?
2. Who do I look to for approval of my choices?
3. What is my ultimate guide: the World or the Word?
2 Extremes To Avoid:
Hebrews 10:24-25, James 4:4, Proverbs 12:26
1. I can't be friends with the World.
2. Jesus hung out with the party crowd, why not me?
Be friendly to everyone, but choose wisely who you are friends with.
