Wisdom

In our friendships we have to be wise that we choose godly people to be our friends. Somebody might say, well does that mean that you should never have a lost person as your friend? No, I wouldn't say that. But you can't have the same intimacy with a lost person that you can with a godly person in whom the Holy Spirit is living. And so you have to be wise in the choice of your friends, because they are going to affect you. Often times people say well, I'm going to help them be everything they ought to be, and so many times unless you're strong, it's amazing how the wicked overwhelm those people who want to walk wisely before God.
