Choose Your Friends Wisely
The Power of Godly Friendships That Bring You Closer to Jesus
Who you walk through life with will influence who you become.
Every friendship leaves a mark.
Some friends encourage your faith, strengthen your character, and point you toward Jesus Christ. Others can slowly pull you away from God's best without you even realizing it.
So how do you choose the right friends?
The answer begins in Mark chapter 2, where four faithful men carried their paralyzed friend to Jesus. When the crowd blocked their way, they refused to give up. Instead, they climbed onto the roof, removed every obstacle, and lowered their friend into the presence of the only One who could completely change his life.
Their story is more than an unforgettable miracle.
It is a powerful lesson about the kind of friendships God desires for every believer.
In Choose Your Friends Wisely, Mark Bixler explores the timeless truths found in this remarkable account and throughout Scripture, revealing how godly friendships have the power to strengthen your faith, deepen your walk with Christ, and encourage you through every season of life.
