True Friends
This week’s eNewsletter feature story
is written by Rev. Raymond Hylton,
FPCE senior pastor.
Greetings!
According to
Brandwatch
, folks with a Facebook account have an average of about 155 “Friends.”
But, if you were facing an emergency at 3 AM, how many of these “Friends” could you contact? Most people really have two or three good, close friends, and they are not “virtual.”
Funny, isn’t it, that Americans spend so much time on social media posting messages and sharing pictures with virtual friends while neglecting opportunities to build relationships with real people?
In the Bible, the Hebrew word for
friendship
and
secret
is the same in some contexts.
In this life as we really live it, we will only have a few close, true friends. There is no way we can go around telling everyone who comes along the deepest feelings and secrets of our hearts.
