I am having a friend problem. You see, I'm a relious guy and all, but my friends aren't. Well, one of them says he is, but he doesn't live like it. Anyways, I have 3 friends that I've been chillin' with all year and I don't really have any other friends-friends. I have one other friend, who's a girl, but we don't get a lot of classes together (usually none). I really think I should cut off my other 3 friends cause they're not encouraging me to live the life God wants me to live. I'm supposed to be willing to give EVERYTHING to God, but if I give Him my friends, I'll be all alone. I'm not "MR. POPULAR" either so what should I do?

If you stay with these three friends, then they might start encouraging you to do things that God wouldn't want you to. It might be hard though, if those are your only friends. Maybe you could just encourage them more to believe in him. God knows how hard you are trying. I had the same situation before. A lot of my friends aren't very "Christian-Like" but I have this one friend who is. Turns out most of her friends (which are mainly mine too) aren't very "Chirstian-Like" either. It ended up we go to the same Church now and are going on a Church trip. I would say find someone who is Church like and hang with them. If you can't find anyone, stay by yourself. If you are afraid your current friends will drag you away from God, then leave them. Or, stay with your friends and just encourage them.
I probably repeated myself a kaggilion times!! Sorry!!
Hope I helped.
