"Be a True Friend" from 2 Samuel 17

There are many different kinds of people in this world, some will just be there for you as they know they can use you, ask money from you (without paying) but when you need their help they won't be there anymore.



We may not find a true friend in this world but Jesus will always be our friend.



Before you can be a true friend you need to know who is your friend.



Bitterness can cause anger, unforgiveness can break a friendship. We need to forgive one another to deal with friendship.



Part of the definition of love is not keeping the negative side of the person. Forgiveness is needed but we don't need to be hypocrite.



In dealing with advice it must come from the Bible.



We can only find a true friend in the body of Christ.



Bad company corrupts a good character. Everytime you hear their bad expressions, sooner it will seems like "not bad anymore". Be very careful with "expressions", never say "it's only expressions and it's not bad" as you keep on hearing, it can influence you.



Be an influence rather than be influenced.

Proverbs 21:30 There's no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.




Know your friend very well. To be a true friend be willing to help them in times of trouble. Prayer is powerful use it to help, it can reach all over the world prayers connects people.



Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.


Pride can kill us if you don't want to repent.



God will bring them, but love will keep them.

Nice Christian Life Experiences

Notes from Mark 13:14-27

Mark 13:14-27 New International Version (NIV) 14 “When you see ‘the abomination that causes desolation’[a] standing where it[b] does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. 15 Let no one on the housetop go down or enter the house to take anything out. 16 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. 17 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! 18 Pray that this will not take place in winter, 19 because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. 20 “If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. 21 At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘Look, there he is!’ do not believe it. 22 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even

Mark 13:32-37

Mark 13:32-37 New International Version (NIV) The Day and Hour Unknown 32 “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 33 Be on guard! Be alert[a]! You do not know when that time will come. 34 It’s like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with their assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch. 35 “Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. 36 If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. 37 What I say to you, I say to everyone: ‘Watch!’”
