God created us as social beings. We’re not wired to be hermits, living a reclusive, isolated lifestyle. We’re built to engage with others. But whoever we engage with influences us . . . and we them. So there’s wisdom in choosing our influencers. Today on A NEW BEGINNING, as we launch a new series on relationships, we begin with the most common relationship we all enjoy: friendship. We’ll consider one of the Bible’s preeminent examples of rewarding friendship.
