How to Build Real Friendships

- Time, It’s an investment
Never abandon a friend— either yours or your father’s. When disaster strikes, you won’t have to ask your brother for assistance. It’s better to go to a neighbor than to a brother who lives far away. Proverbs 27:10
6 And now, dear brothers and sisters, we give you this command in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ: Stay away from all believers who live idle lives and don’t follow the tradition they received from us. 2 Thessalonians 3:6
As iron sharpens iron, so a friend sharpens a friend.Proverbs 27:17
An open rebukes better than hidden love!6 Wounds from a sincere friend are better than many kisses from an enemy. Proverbs 27:5-6
