TODAYS' DRIVEN PURPOSE

"August 13, 2009 Developing Long-Term Relationships by Rick Warren “Some friendships do not last, but some friends are more loyal than brothers” (Proverbs 18:24 TEV). The Bible gives us six building blocks for developing long-term relationships: 1. We must be considerate. “People want others to be loyal, so it is better to be poor than to be a liar” (Proverbs 19:22 NCV). 2. We must be confidential. “No one who gossips can be trusted with a secret, but you can put confidence in someone who is trustworthy” (Proverbs 11:13 TEV). 3. We must be candid. “An honest answer is a sign of true friendship” (Proverbs 24:26 TEV). 4. We must be constructive. “People learn from one another, just as iron sharpens iron” (Proverbs 27:17 TEV). 5. We must be consistent. “Friends always show their love. What are relatives for if not to share trouble?” (Proverbs 17:17 TEV). 6. We must be committed. “Some friendships do not last, but some friends are more loyal than brothers” (Proverbs 18:24 TEV)." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ THOUGHT: MINES>lIFE..has a way to enter..what time measures, and with every passing day,we grow smarter..wiser..interventing faith,whats congregations..worships..touches one another's heart..the quest 2b fullfilled.. the family..where our Journey becomes united..where I am the wisdom to KNOW the truth..Practice what is preached..a child of God..merciful..Peace...Create
