“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17 (NIV)
This Proverb has often been looked at as fatherly wisdom. It’s a vivid reminder that the people we surround ourselves with can either dull us or make us sharper, better, and more refined.
3 Points on Why It’s Important to Return to Church to Find Good Friends:
- Quality Over Quantity:
- The church isn’t just a social club; it’s a gathering of people with shared values. People in a church community are often there because they’re seeking spiritual growth, love, and service, just like you. These like-minded folks make for excellent, dependable friends who can help you grow in your faith and life. ????
- A Support System:
- Let’s be honest, life can throw us some real curveballs. When the going gets tough, it’s good to have friends who not only offer a shoulder to lean on but also guide you in wisdom and prayer. And where better to find such friends than a place literally built on the principles of love, compassion, and community? ????
- Holistic Growth:
- Great friendships aren’t just about having fun (although that’s important too!). They’re about growing—emotionally, spiritually, and even intellectually. And the church offers a wealth of opportunities for this, from Bible studies to community service projects. Think of your potential church friends as your spiritual gym buddies! ????
Returning to church for friendships isn’t about padding your social calendar; it’s about enriching your life with relationships that matter. So why not take that step back into the church community? It’s a friendship circle with eternal benefits! ????
