If Your Friends Don't Do This... They're Bad Friends! // Framework For Friendships Pt. 3

[@ilikesharonmorethaniloveyo5605]

The telling of a truth disarms the power of a lie.

[@JayDub2000]

Unshakeable character Conditional love (gape) Unbridled honesty

[@teresamogavero8259]

Cannot thank this man enough for all he does to teach us😇feel so blessed🙏

[@msjhelaire21]

Here to add some 🧂 Proverbs 27:6 is not an excuse to speak the truth to people however we want. The truth can be offensive enough (double-edged sword). We’re called to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15) and love is patient, kind, holds no record of wrong, etc. according to 1 Corinthians 13. There’s also a time and place for everything under the Sun (Ecclesiastes 3) so without seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit, we may speak “out of pace” with Him and damage the impact of the truth we are trying to deliver. Lastly, bullying, condescending, and the like are not biblical means of correction and truth telling. Thanks for coming to my TED talk ✌🏾

[@msjhelaire21]

@mackavelli423mockery step talk lol I like that! I’m not exactly sure what you meant by everything in your reply but there’s definitely the other side of things where the person receiving truth has to be willing to receive it while not picking up every offense that’s caused (Proverbs 19:11). I’ve been that person. I was speaking more on how he talked about delivering unbridled honesty. We have to be careful to not speak unbridled honesty with an unbridled tongue (James 1:26).

[@msjhelaire21]

@mackavelli423mockery amen!!!

[@msjhelaire21]

@mackavelli423mockery thank you for sharing that. It’s very encouraging. God bless and Happy New Year 🥳

[@leahanderson30]

I'm a different type I've always been a people pleaser trying to break away from it but I've always told the truth which is another reason I don't have many friends I've always been honest to a fault

[@gigga693]

This is my personality. Going thru this season you describe right now. May you be encouraged on the journey

[@mariasolomon419]

Can't get life right if you don't get relationships right

[@brendanjarrell1949]

Dharius is so soft spoken, then that intro... BLAM 😂

[@everythinggabby88]

Intellect is a key factor in my relational circumstances..

[@tashaasopretty]

I love this. This go go over alot of ppl head. Real friends show up and love you. They never intentionally try to hurt you & they also keep it honest with you.

[@sandralenagroenewald9589]

Thank God that I came across this

[@umohvictoria1834]

Ran here as quick as I could!

[@cpittman1527]

If it cant handle truth than it wasnt a strong relationship....PD TEACHHHHH PASTOR!!!

[@fredstewart7270]

Powerful Teaching

[@SistahJay27]

Okay, got it. I have to do a proper assessment before doing an investment. ❤

[@Mosdefinitelyable]

But how can we know what’s truly best for someone else? I hate when people try to change me.

[@daniellewatts105]

THIS WORD!!!!!!

[@leahanderson30]

I share too much

[@thatokekana8420]

Sir, I think your offspring (if you have any) and/or siblings are amongst some of the most blessed offspring on our planet. 💛 You are amaaazing!❤‍🩹

[@alexcianelson]

You are a great mentor!

[@Mrudula...]

Relational Intelligence 🔥 True friend may hurt u for a moment to preserve you for the lifetime...We need to do assessments before we do investments...🔥 If you can't handle the truth u cannot handle the relationship.... I get energy from isolation...Does this person have unbridled honesty🔥

[@leahanderson30]

I love that intimacy =seeing into me

[@TheJazzyWay]

Mannnn this was so on point! This confirmed friendships i had to walk away from.

[@marquisinternational]

This series is so so so important

[@nat-natc.8142]

I am loving this framework for friendship series. Please keep them coming Pastor. God bless you!!

[@staceyculbertson6784]

Can ya'll please fix the audio on this channel. The information is awesome but hard to receive when the audio is all over the place.

[@ajordan1847]

Yes, agree. I was listening through my headset, and the music intro startled me compared to the content. I was like, whoa, too loud. Hopefully, they'll read your comment too. It's a great message, but the audio needs to be better balanced.

[@shayzfine]

Wow 🔥

[@victoriadream]

my ex couldnt admit he was having an emotional affair with the women on the parkour team he was training privately & the receptionist at his job... i kept inviting the conversation to be open for discussion. he got frustrated & wouldnt tell the truth. i attempted to dump him over 50 times in the 8 month period we dated... he began displaying signs of closed off conversation after a month of our relationship starting. i confronted him several times. after chalking it up to my insecurity, he dumped me... i didnt see it coming. meanwhile all of these details became exposed. it ended very messy due to my inability to let it go that he was lying. i cant stop blaming myself for allowing this soul tie into my life. i keep apologizing to him. he will not respond.

[@gigga693]

Let go and seek God.

[@andrewiiliams8845]

All facts 💯💯

[@shariainspires]

In addition, I never sugarcoat. I can be too honest but not in a way that my words hurt someone. I just believe friendship should be 50/50. I'm definitely an extrovert. I talk a lot but when I talk.. I'm speaking light, encouragement & authenticity. On the flip side, I listen too without interrupting and welcome feedback & advice.

[@kehaulani1467]

Wow, this is exactly what i needed to hear, which is how i feel after engaging fully in most of your teachings. This one, though, i played -> paused -> took notes...so many notes all throughout this powerful almost 12 minute video offering. The part about not just being this kind of Biblical Framework friend, but making sure the person "riding on the bus of my life" with me is the right person for that seat was the best way to sum this up. We can be the friend we need to be for the wrong person, and it will bring misery even while doing what is right. Which takes us back to Matthew 7:6 at the beginning of your lesson. Both need to be willing to Tell and Hear the truth. Honesty is so freeing -- John 8:31-32, also at the beginning of your lesson -- and brings such peace and calm to intimate relationships. Thank you!

[@l3g3ndgameryt40]

Pastor Dharius you're talking about people who lie. Pastor my cousin was such a liar that she use to forget what she said. I just use to laugh at her because she sounded so stupid.

[@ebonytriumph3816]

This is a very important topic, often we hear marriage but friends actually affect a lot and I wish this was discussed more.

[@finnianfinnian8359]

Blessing s

[@justbelit]

great message. audio was a bit low though

[@shariainspires]

I never understood why some people are so quick to call someone a friend. I tell my daughter all the time that everyone is not your friend and to not use that word so loosely. Thank goodness she learned this fast.

[@ChrissyChrisFPV]

FACTS I agree!!!!! Why people ??

[@leahanderson30]

I only have one friend from church God sent her to me to save me from death while I was having a stroke other friends I've had over the years took advantage of me for their own gain so I don't have friends I'm skeptical of some females one's I went to high school with still act like they're in high school so I pass on these people

[@tracywigginsbossmoves9490]

This is a GOOD WORD PASTOR!! Thank you!! ❤🔥🙌🏽💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

[@evelynsierra5775]

I don't have any friends praise the Lord God got rid of all of them

[@kelishastevens1125]

Amen

[@LRNJ-43]

If it can't handle truth, it wasn't a strong relationship. 💯 aka C-Note from the Kinfolk PD!!!

Amen Pastor Dharius.

[@neba_heals]

Another GREAT teaching…thank you🙏🏾

[@myraholmes1178]

What about "friends" who don't contact you unless or until they need your advice?

[@amiblack8294]

Refer them to a therapist or just bill them :)

[@myraholmes1178]

@@amiblack8294 you got that right

[@leahanderson30]

I'm ambivert as well

[@ilikesharonmorethaniloveyo5605]

Truth never destroys a relationship. Truth exposes it. If it can’t handle truth it wasn’t a strong relationship.

[@everythinggabby88]

Additionally, having couth when telling someone about themselves. Especially when it’s truly out of love…

[@l3g3ndgameryt40]

Amen and thank you.

[@tonyabrown1147]

Love it

[@ttslb1995]

This Was For Me! I was just having this conversation about why we use "my friend" so loosely 😒??? I'm finding out that I truly have associates.

[@Toyz3578]
