HEY I FOUND THIS AND I THINK IT MIGHT HELP....
Fourteen year old Megan became a christian three weeks ago.Now she's faced with tough choices in living out of her new life.Some of her friends at church,for example, are telling her to drop her non-christian friends."They will influence you the wrong way.You need christian friends now," they insist.Do you agree?
Admit it:relationships are a major influence.So it's no minor point when people argue that you need close christian friends.You need them because you can count on them for strength and
encouragement
while you grow as a christian.
But your non-christian friendships are important also-for different reasons.First, you are the best person to win your non-christian friends to Christ.And there's a second reason to stay friends: If you ditch them, they could blame Christ for losing you as a friend.Then if someone tells them about becoming a christian,
their
response could be, "YEAH,sure,and trash all my friends?No way!"
An exception to that rule: If your non-believing friends are a
negative
influence on you, you have to distance yourself enough to play it safe.When you back off, give them the option of
coming
closer to Christ.Let the rejection come from them,not the other way around.
One warning: If you spend time with non-
Christians
to win them to Christ, you might catch it on both ends.Non-christian friends may mock you because you won't get involved in some of
their
activities,and christian friends might reject you because they assume you're diving into sin. If that happens,take heart. You're in great company.
Because he spent time with a tough crowd,some people saw Christ as "glutton and drunkard, and a friend of the worst sort of sinners!" (Matthew 11:19).And because he spent time with sinners, the self righteous
Pharisees
criticized him.
The best way to shut down and gossip, of course, is to win at least one of you non-christian friends to Christ.The new believer will set the record straight. But in
the
meantime, don't stop reaching out to your non-christian friends-and don't get mad at your christian
friends
.Just press on and do what Jesus did.Show God's love to all of them.
Reflect:How well does it work for you to have both christian and non-christian friends?
