The Definition Of A Friend
December 13, 2016
Ponder This
An English publication had a contest for the definition of a friend. Here are some that won honorable mention:
- A friend is somebody who multiplies your joys and divides your griefs.
- A friend is someone who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself.
- A friend is someone who is there when you call and sometimes even before you call.
- A friend is someone who understands your silence.
Now, let me tell you the one that won the prize: “A real friend is someone who comes in when the whole world has gone out.”
Proverbs 17:17 says, “A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." It doesn’t matter what you have done, a true friend is going to be there.

Real Truth Never Changes
Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
