10 Mistakes People Make with Friendship (plus 1 bonus):
1. Think it must lead to sex (sex is sacred and God commands us to wait for marriage). (1 Thessalonians 4:3)
2. Forget there are levels of friendship (acquaintance, bff ~ best friend forever, etc).
3. Wonder why they don’t have many friends (could it be because they aren’t very friendly?).
4. Take friends for granted (especially their spouse?).
5. Abandon their friends when they need them most. (Mark 14:66-72)
6. Allow friendships to grow cold (they take work, too). (Genesis 31:2)
7. Forget it requires the highest commitment of love. (John 15:13)
8. Become hurt and burn bridges (what if you contacted him or her instead to forgive and reconcile?). (Matthew 18:21-22)
9. Don’t realize some people use it as a cloak / ruse to cover up evil intentions. (Genesis 34:20-29)
10. Blab to others what was meant to be a secret (can’t keep confidences).
BONUS Don’t realize God Himself would be their friend, too. (James 2:23)
