Hey everyone,

I really need your prayers right now. I've got one of the most unwanted responsibilities a Christian wants. I've got to rebuke a friend I'm very, very close to. This person has incredible potential as they have been blessed emmensely. However, they are ebing dragged down by the fellowship with the world. As Much as I don't want to do this, I know that I must as it has been straining on my heart for the better part of a week. Again, Please ask our Father to give me the strength to approach this friend in love, but the truth of the gospels.

 
Oh wow... I have been in that situation and believe you, me, it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. Looking back I did make some mistakes in doing it, so please pray for wisdom.

Emulate Jesus in how you approach your friend and ne Jesus when he needs you.
 
I'm praying for you Brutus, usually if you are close to the person you can walk away with the friendship in tact. Sometimes it is years before they come back and admit you were right in conveying the warning... Sometimes that never happens at all. Just obey God and leave it between them and Him.



If all else fails you can always use the chair.
