It’s no secret that most of us are struggling in the relationship category, these days. Perhaps your marriage or family relationships are good enough, and you seem to be content with that. But what of friendship? Do you have any deep, loyal, and honest friends with him you regularly interact? If you do, you are blessed…and unusual. Most of us find that we are severely lacking in the true-close-friend category.
How is it that a society can be both more connected and more lonely than ever before? Yet, we are. We have scads of Internet friends and we tell ourselves that it’s good enough. But is it? I don’t think so, and neither do recent studies.
The Bible has much to say about friendship and community (Proverbs 27:17, 17:17, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, etc.). It is clear that we are not meant to do life isolated and alone. So why is it that we lack so much in the way of meaningful friendships? Today we are talking about obstacles that can prevent us from having close friendships.
