That's why people don't want to read the Bible.
That's why people don't want to come to church
where the Bible's preached
because they're going to be told the truth.
The irony is that's what a friend does.
Friends don't lie to your face.
Friends tell you when something's wrong.
They're not just going to let you embarrass yourself.
You're going to say,
you got a little something on the,
you got a little schmutz on the punim.
They'll see something going on in your life.
They'll say, hey, I'm a little worried about you.
Not to make you feel bad because I love you.
Faithful are the wounds of a friend.
Let the righteous smite me.
It shall be an excellent oil upon my head.
The kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
I mean, the enemy will act like your friend.
They'll talk like your friend.
They'll treat you nice.
And they'll let you just go right off the cliff
in your life and just go, see you later.
Nice knowing you.
So ask yourself, what are they encouraging you to do?
Do the right thing or the wrong thing?
Are they encouraging you to get in church or out of church?
Do they encourage you to do the things of God
or not do the things of God?
Are they trying to get you into sin or away from sin?
That's what you have to ask yourself.
Should I have this friendship in my life?
Is this a good friendship?
If someone came to me and said,
hey, I'm thinking about doing this
and it was just clearly wrong.
And I just said, yeah, you could.
