It's sad but sometimes true friendship means kicking someone out of your life. Harsh, but necessary. I have found that our words trying to make them grow in holiness stay with them, and hopefully one day they will realize the error in their ways. I know when I impart any amount of Christian knowledge to my friends that they will think about it and take it to heart, especially if a dispute arises. Yeah it’s true.

It is super tough to get to the third level (kicking someone out of church), and thank the Lord I've never had to. I think that some of us have gotten to the third level but we didn't do it before the church, so instead you personally kick them out of your life so they will learn. That is true friendship, but it is so hard to get to that point without feeling like you're wrong along the way! But if God is telling you to point out something to a friend so that they may grow in holiness then you have to bring it up, even if your friend thinks you prideful as a result. Thanks Buzz! nice Buzz. It is super tough to get to the third level (kicking someone out of church), and thank the Lord I’ve never had to.
