The Five Marks of Biblical Friendship

We have easier access to people than ever before, yet we are more isolated in so many ways. The book of Proverbs has a lot to say about the need for friendship and community – not a generic kind of friendship, but biblical, life-giving friendship. We need to be around people with whom we can be truly vulnerable and receive encouragement and correction. A friend isn't just someone who doesn't leave, but someone who moves towards you in all seasons.
