But if you don't say anything to them, if you're not advocating God's truth and if you know what's good, but you're not going about it, you're in just as much sin as them and they're smoking and drinking and partying and having, having sex with other people and et cetera. Because you're also being disobedient. It may not be in those areas, but you're still being disobedient.

Disobedient is disobedience. And so I think my encouragement is to just come out of being lukewarm. And not cultivating lukewarm relationships. Instead, having relationships that build each other up. And I think at the end of the day, God is going to show you who's going to stick around and who's just seasonal.

And if people are seasonal, then trust God that they played their part in your season and release them with peace. release them whenever God gives you the instruction to not out of your own. Oh, I got to do this, God. And, you know, it's just bugging me so much. Like if the Lord is releasing you from that person, let them release you and also do it in a peaceful manner.

And where the Lord is fully intact. And, you know, even when I first came to Christ and when I lost so many friends. And I mean, so many friends that I thought were going to be, you know, for the long run. I mean, even though they're not in my life now and we're still not friends, I will still think about them and pray for them and take them to the Lord. But I'm not friends with them.

I'm not associated with them, but I love them. And just how Christ prays and intercedes for us. I believe he calls us to do the same for other people who are still stuck in that lifestyle. And so we must be the bigger people and the bigger person to because God was the bigger person for us. Jesus was the bigger person for us. Like he died for us.

And when we did it, when we couldn't pay the price, like he paid it for us. So it was like, if God was the bigger person for us, how much more should we be the bigger person for other people? Amen. And my encouragement, my final thoughts, just wrapping up is, friendships you have should always glorify God.

And if you are in a hiccup in your relationship and God's calling you to stay and thug it out and show grace towards that person, then so be it. But if God is also calling you to get up and go, you must be obedient and get up and go because that person may be going through something on their own that God wants to take them through that he doesn't want you to be in as well.

So it's staying in the spirit of the Lord and discerning carefully of your friends. But like I said, the biggest indicators is knowing if those people are going to bring you to Christ or knowing if those people are actually tearing you away from Christ. I feel like those are like the two biggest things. And then knowing what it means to be equally yoked and what that looks like.

And if you're looking at your circle, like, and if you're even kind of questioning some, some friendships you may have, I would even just write a list of where areas where you're equally yoked with this person, right? Like where areas where you're yoked and where some areas where you do not align at all.

If you see a lot of areas where you're unaligned with your friend on stuff that are like real basis, core values and beliefs, and they're just completely imbalanced, that's probably a huge indicator that you probably shouldn't be equally yoked with that person and you need to step away. And so I think the question is, is like, why does being equally yoked matter?
