Christian Friends
Hi, I'm the guy who asked you about my 3 "non-Christian" friends and I haven't talked to them yet. I'm not going to tell them until school starts, maybe. I've been thinking. I went to this camp for 2 weeks. They talked about friendships and relationships and it got me wondering. The Pastor said that we should pick friends who are going to encourage us in our Christian walk, but don't ignore the friends you have now. So I thought, "Well, I don't want to blow my friends off, but they can just be my 'school-friends' (ya know, friends you only hang out with at school) but if I hang out with them at school, they're still not encouraging my Christian walk at school (which is a battle zone all in itself)" so now what?

Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Friendship?
Well, when I went to Church this past Wedensday for something called "Acteens" we talked about the exact same thing. We were talking about the qualities we look for the most in a friend. We did this anonymous vote. People picked honesty over faith. We were talking about how we need good Christian friends ((like you were saying)) who encouraged us in a positive way. I asked if that means we shouldnt be friends with people who arent Christians then. Because,arent we supposed to encourage others? I was told that you should still be friends with non-Christians and try to encourage them. And if all else fails, dont stop being their friend, just dont let them influence you. If you feel that keeping these friends would REALLY affect you, then dont hang out with them that much. If you feel you can still remain a good Christian with those friends, then hang out with them like you do now.
lol, that probably wasnt any help! I'm sorry!!
Love always,
Kerry
