Friends to die for

Great friends stick up for you.  They are there for you in times of need and struggle.
Christian friends share the common faith.  They build each other up in Christ in all that they do.  They have the desire to be with their friend.
Deep down in the core every man needs a brother to lock arms with.  Every man needs someone to be there for them.  Men need someone to bond with and live life with daily.
Christian brothers build accountability with each other.  They ask each other how they are doing in life.  They ask each other they are doing in their walk with God.  They are not transparent, they are honest with their friend in everything they say or do.  They are truthful with their friend in all things in life.
Friends love being with each other.  They love being together as friends.
A covenant friendship is based on unselfish love for one another.  Deep loyalty to one another.  A friend speaks up for you.  Is founded on transperancy, honesty, and accountability.  We have nothing to hide with our friends.  This kind of friendship is rooted in shared spiritual values.
Our covenant friends should have the same God.  This builds us together in him in growth in him.
My best friend Andrew Boone has been there for me in good times and bad.  He knows me well and knows just about everything about me and how I interact.
I have that same relationship with my friend Zach Hughes.  We have that unselfish love for each other in how we interact with one another.  We interact and know each other so well.
Jim Douglas and I also have that unselfish love and deep loyalty for each other.  We have known each other through college and crazy times in BYX.
One of my best friends from D-focus, Carlyle Aguren, knows me because we lived together in the summer of 2010.  He knows things about me from hanging out together in our cabin all summer.  We are unselfish in how we interact with one another.  God led us to D-focus for a purpose so we could become good friends.
This kind of covenant friendship I have with these people I have discussed.  These kinds of friendships help us grow in Christ in all that we do.
