Losing a Friend Is Not Easy

Have you ever ended a friendship? Made the decision to stop interacting with someone who was once considered family? What pushes us to the point where reconciliation is not an option? For me, it was a painful decision that I made several years ago.

Today’s Quote on Following Christ

“As Christians, we’ll frequently be tempted to compromise in order to avoid misunderstanding, criticism, rejection, or persecution. But as Christ’s followers, we are called to live a crucified life – and compromise undercuts the wholehearted nature of crucifixion. We cannot pursue the acceptance of the world and at the same time follow the Lord. Until we stand with both feet on the side of obedience, we forfeit assurance of God’s peace and blessings.”     ~Dr. Charles Stanley
