Proverbs 27:6: "Wounds from a sincere friend are improve than many kisses from an enemy."
The world’s emphasis on self-esteem gives people an appetite for undeserved praise.
But a steady diet of undeserved affirmation makes us lazy, proud, as well as resistant to constructive criticism.
Eventually, nosotros surroundings ourselves with “fans” instead of friends.
Unfortunately, if we're non willing to head to advice, we'll never grow wiser as well as stronger inwards the Lord. We'll but learn self-deceived.
Proverbs 19:20: "Listen to advice as well as stimulate got discipline, as well as at the halt yous volition hold upward counted alongside the wise."
Proverbs 12:15: "The means of fools seems right to them, but the wise head to advice."
Proverbs 1:8: "Listen, my son, to your father's teaching as well as work non forsake your mother's teaching."
True friends, proficient parents, as well as godly pastors challenge as well as right us.
We ask genuine friends, non fans.
