Two is Won

Last night as we concluded, Two is Won, the challenge was given. Who's in your circle? Two weeks ago it was impressed upon our hearts that CIRCLES>ROWS. A major part of our spiritual growth is done in CIRCLES not ROWS! So, who's in your circle?

God's word not only reveals your present condition but shows you your future!

Your friends are a preview of your future. Show me your friends and I'll show you your future!

"Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise, but the companion of fools suffers harm." Proverbs 13:20 

The Lord grants us a promise and a warning about our circles. We will either grow wise or suffer.

Don't keep your circle closed. Don't keep people out. Your circles can adapt and they should. Does your circle look the same as it did a year ago? They shouldn't.

It's extremely hard to make a Godly decision in a sinful situation.

If you want to love Jesus more than you do now, surround yourselves with people that love Jesus more than you do. [If you surround yourselves with people that are healthy, you'll eventually be more healthy. If you surround yourselves with people that cuss/drink...you'll eventually do that, too.]

God's WORD was not only meant to save you from PAST & PRESENT sins but SAVE you from POTENTIAL sins!

Are your friends pointing you towards Jesus or the world? We all need friends that point us towards Jesus and not towards hell. Are they encouraging you to attend church or skip out on it?

If your parents don't approve of your circle, Jesus probably doesn't either!

If you have friends that don't care about their lives, they are not going to be very concerned about yours.

"Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character." 1 Corinthians 15:33

Being around bad company can corrupt your CHARACTER! Who you hang around is who you will become! Friends come and go, Jesus comes and stays.

"As iron sharpens iron,so one person sharpens another." 

Proverbs 27:17

You either have friends that SHARPEN you or CUT you down and HARM you!

Take a look at your twitter followers, Facebook friends, instagram friends and ask yourself: How are these people influencing me? Are they bringing me closer to Christ?

If you want to know how to be a friend, Look at Jesus!

Jesus went to the grave to RAISE you to LIFE! Jesus came DOWN so that we could go UP!
