What Is a Real Friend?

June 18, 2013

A friend loves at all times,
            and a brother is born for adversity.

Proverbs 17:17

The great Presbyterian preacher Donald Barnhouse once said, “True love must leave the stage and walk the real paths of life.” By that, he meant that someone who really loves others doesn’t just love in the good seasons of life. They also love in the hard times. They love in both the showroom and the warehouse… in the sanctuary as well as the streets.

That’s the only kind of love that’s truthful because, in life, there are those people who stick by your side when things are great, yet are nowhere to be found when the world seems to collapse around you. That’s because, if we’re honest, being a fair-weather friend is easier than sticking around when the storms hit.

As believers, there are two lessons we can learn from this. First of all, we need to be the kinds of friends who endure tough times with those we love. And second, it’s crucial we seek out friends who will stick with us when hard times come our way.

Godly, enduring friends are one of God’s greatest gifts. So be a true friend by sticking through tough times with others. Find good friends who will do the same with you. And above all else, remember that in Christ, you’ll never walk alone because He sticks closer to you than a brother!

TRUE FRIENDS ENDURE TOUGH TIMES TOGETHER. SEEK OUT AND BE THE KIND OF FRIEND WHO STICKS CLOSE WHEN TIMES GET TOUGH.

Get the best from 2012 to be your best in 2013


Dear Friend,

While many pastors shy away from addressing controversial issues, I sincerely believe you need to hear straight, “bulls-eye” biblical teaching on many of today’s hot topics. Not only to grow in your faith as a believer, but to give winsome, compassionate answers to the hard questions our culture is asking.

That’s why I want to send you a special new resource today – my CD series called The Best of 2012.

This series contains 10 of my most popular and compelling messages from 2012, and it’s a resource that’s sure to help you in 2013 because it includes messages such as, “Are All Religions the Same?”, “Lessons on Leadership,” and “What Is a Christian?”

The Best of 2012 is my gift to thank you for your donation to help PowerPoint continue to proclaim God’s Word and truth ’til the whole world hears. So please request your copy when you give today.

Thank you!
