Leadership Files by Pastor Phil Pringle
FRIENDS
Quote - 'Special friendships had been welded. Many will last a lifetime.' - Rob Mundle reporting on the Sydney to Hobart Yacht race that claimed 5 lives, and in which only 44 of the 115 strong fleet finished.
Most 'fallen' ministers I've met with said they had no-one to talk to, no trusted friends who would understand their problem.
God says, 'It's not good that man be alone.'
Friends are to laugh with, cry with and do life together with.
Friends are forged in fire.
Shared experience is the basis of relationship.
Be there in their ups, their downs, and friendship forms.
Our destiny is locked into our friendships.
Jonathan was meant to inherit his father Saul's throne, but he prepared his soul friend David for that.
How are your friends?
