A Friend of The Wise

Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
- CS Lewis

Christian Friendship is:
- Closer than family
- Affection not transaction
- Feedback not flattery

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.
- Proverbs 13:20

A man of too many friends comes to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
- Proverbs 18:24

Like one who takes away a garment on a cold day, or like vinegar poured on a wound, is one who sings songs to a heavy heart.
- Proverbs 25:20

Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.
- Proverbs 27:6

No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you.
- John 15:15-16b
