Chick, you tell me, "I could easily give my last dollar to a friend."
I can appreciate why you would phrase friendship that way; for that is the value set of the secular world, i.e., what is in it for me -- materially?

Bill, in all your years here, have you honestly ever had one person on this forum contact you for you to tell them about, tell them how, help them begin their walk? I’m not asking to be rude, I would truly like to know.
There’s nothing, Sir, that you can do for me, but thank you for asking. As for myself, I already know the answers to those questions. Most people that have the kind of questions you mention, will find someone they have faith in as a Christian, someone they trust, someone they feel comfortable with, someone they feel comfortable confiding in.
I don’t think you’re it!
I’ve never seen you discuss anything with anyone on this forum. The majority of the time you are telling us how it is & if we don’t do what you say, then we are going to hell. Thankfully, you are not our judge, even though you would like to be.
Because I said I could easily give my last dollar to a friend, you think my friends are all about monetary value & what’s in it for me…materially????
With every post you make, I find myself feeling more & more sorry for you.
BTW, I have many real friends but few acquaintances.
