[@alanjagroop1282]

Not if u want to bring someone to my religion. I want a nice Indian girl to married. But I don't want to change religion. So u can have ungodly friends. Because eventually someone can become a godly friend. I have friends who are hindues and don't want to cut them. Because I love them. Eventually they will find thier way. Jesus said to love everyone even your enemies. Chose to forgive and love. I am not going to cut anyone off.

[@arjames26]

I had a friend for almost 10 years, and I broke our friendship because he was influenced by bad company of friends who slander anyone (including me) who they don't like. I almost lost trust of other people due to what my friend did to me. But God reminded me of 1 Corinthians 6:14. That is not just applicable in courtship, but on what circle of friends you shall choose.

[@get2it7]

You did the wise and right thing. Because whether you are a follower of Christ or of this worldly world, it is always wise to cut ties with wicked people.

[@get2it7]

Or people who just slander

Agree! My own mother told me the same when I was 10 and I never forgot and lived by it.

[@Emily_Paris]

Your message Pastor David reminds me of my ex husband who was born again then later turned to darkness and became very worldly. He confessed to me he had a demon attached who would talk to him and hide in the closet. I tried everything as God’s servant to help him come back to God but he told me he chose not to have a relationship with God. He would hurt me emotionally and was seeing someone else so we divorced and he went to live with his girlfriend he cheated on me with. Once he left, I could feel my house with this brightness and peace I can’t explain.

[@shynaro2938]

[@Jesus_is_Lord323]

I'm so sorry for what you've gone through. I do want to let you know about Luke 16:18 so you don't enter into adultery. Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery. Luke 16:18 KJV People claim that Matthew 5 and 19 allow remarriage but Jesus never said so, Mark 10:1-12 talks more about it and so does 1st Corinthians 5-7, and Romans 7:1-3. Please research and be blessed

[@ilish_a]

Thank you for talking about this Pastor David. I was and am truly seeking for such. I just really need discernment. May God bless you and the ministry He entrusted to you. 😇🙏

[@GretanneWilliam-kc1hr]

Yes Lord help me hear your voice 🙏🙏🙏 Amen

[@clownzystreams180]

Amen, Some friendships are good and you can influence them with God, some they influence you the wrong way. You can turn the influence around but some people you need to cut off.

[@jbl00d33]

If you have ungodly friends, you may also take it as an oppertunity to bring them to Jesus. This is a good test to see if they are worth keeping in your circle. If you can see you've struck a cord with them, and you feel they have actually listened and resinates in them, this is a good sign. But if at first you don't succeed try, try again. But if they turn and mock and ridicule your faith, maybe its time to look for more like minded people as yourself.

[@carbon_originals]

This is a Biblical and proper approach, the only thing I would add, is that we are going to be surrounded by non-believers are whole lives. We should be engaging them in conversation and with service, letting our light shine before men (everyone), and often that looks like friendship. Sometimes it’s just chatting with the neighbor or the Amazon delivery guy, so conversation and friendship is encouraged! But if the darkness is gaining influence, then you should step back. But we have to go people. A good example, in college I had to step away from being roommates with guys who weren’t walking with God. I couldn’t have the partying in my living space, but I still made contact with them, witness to them, played sports with them. I just couldn’t do certain things with them.

[@vanessadobbins6885]

[@mariamercy7317]

[@AP86777]

Yes. It can be tough and lonesome. But we have to be patient.

[@kazumadesu811]

Amen Pastor, we must always be vigilant especially in our relationships whom we are the closest in this world, we must be wise-we must put the scripture in our heart at all time, we must not let our family, friends, lover's wordly influence overpower our faith and spirit. The gift of the world is destruction and death but our God's gift is eternal life which is more worth it. Praise God, Hallelujah!🖐🙏

[@abigailballard7101]

Literally went through this three days ago. For more context, the bible says not to be unequally yoked with non believers. The bible does not say this only applies romantically, but in friendship as well. The yoke symbolizes emotional connection and closeness that influences each other, and it's a dangerous place to be.

Yes, yes, yes! Divine connections AND divine disconnections. As a believer, it’s critical that our associations with people do not compromise our Christian walk & values.

My wife wasn’t a believer for the 1st decade until I started showing her how God is working in our life & now she sees God everywhere. PTL for Gods true love for us…

[@jennie612]

Exactly! To win souls, this is the perfect answer. I discovered that I have the gift of exhortation, thanks to my Spiritual leader at church. It is important to use this gift. Although I keep denying it because of my experiences, the pain and the torment. But my empathy increases towards hopeless people, those who need encouragement and comfort. Despite being a sinner who believes in God. I can be with or encourage backslidders to repent and take the cross with them (it's actually a struggle, the narrow path is tough) and encourage those who don't believe in God to be closer to Him and watch them grow in faith.

[@camerapasteurize7215]

My closest friends are all Christians, people I grew up with in the church. However, I also have friends from college who are unbelievers. I pray for them every single night and work to present an image of Christianity that glorifies God. Still trying to get them to come to church though. They haven't yet.

[@get2it7]

Only Jesus can bring them to the light. I’m not sure bringing people to church will do it though because a lot of it will just go in and out their ears. It’s better to just set a great example and not make it so much of “because I’m a Christian.” Let them figure it out why you are that way, I think.

The hardest thing is, if you work in a same team and you have to see and talk with them everyday. Yet you know deep within that they are influencing you. More then you influencing them.😢

[@get2it7]

If they are influencing you find a job where the people there share the same values as you. Or just simply don’t let them influence you, and instead influence them. That doesn’t mean you force your values on them …just stick to your values and they will eventually respect that about you.

[@Telepathythinker]

I started a Job recently and it seems to me like 80% of the people who work there blaspheme God and curse soo much like it’s soo hard being in that atmosphere for soo long, and the wild thing is I literally just started, it’s a fast food restaurant and my first day I worked about 6 hours. The wild thing is I had gotten a call today for a job I inquired about 2 weeks ago, but I can’t help but believe that God wants me to stay with these people for a season and be a light to them, that they may see and glorify God. Then depart

[@get2it7]

@@Telepathythinker the only way to know is to pray and be patient. Now , it does say in the Bible to be wise so if the other job who called you from inquiring two weeks ago is a better job which will probably have people with better values , then it’s probably wise to go with that job.
