Friendship means we are called to action.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV

As we bring this series to a close, let’s review what we learned this past month about Why Friendship Is Worth the Risk.

If you missed any of these lessons, click on each link to take you directly to that post. I pray you found something to take away from the series – something to give you that extra boost toward building community.

I know it did for me.

In case you are still considering whether the risk involved is worth the effort it takes to build community, let’s look at one final lesson regarding friendship – a call to action.

Or shall we say, 'called' to action.

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25 NIV

Have I spurred someone on today?

Have I encouraged her toward good deeds by demonstrating love?

Have I met together with a friend this week?

According to the above verse in Hebrews, these things are all the more important as we approach the day of Christ’s return. God clearly directs us to make the most of every opportunity we are given while we are still here on earth, doing our part in fulfilling the Great Commission.

One friend at a time.

Yes, we are called to action. Let’s act on that call today by moving beyond the busyness of our days and making time for friendships. It’s a risk, but it’s worth it.
