Presentation Transcript

  1. Your friend forgets to bring their homework that’s vital and due in today. Do you: • Laugh at them. • Tell them “That’s your problem.” • Set their bag on fire so they have a good excuse for why they don’t have it. • Sit with them in a break before class to help them do it again.

  2. A month ago Your friend invited you to a birthday dinner and movie night. Today you get asked to a party on at exactly the same time, which you really want to go to. Do you: • Decide to go to the Birthday Dinner but leave early so you can get to the party just when things are getting good. • Say you’ll go to the your friend’s birthday, but then just not turn up and apologise later and say you got the wrong date. • Slip some laxatives in your friend’s food before the dinner so they’re too sick to have their birthday celebration. • Go to the Birthday event, because you care about your friend more than you care about parties.

  3. You have a thought that you want to do something nice for your friend. Do you: • Ignore it. It’ll go away soon. • Go comment on all their photos on Facebook, because everyone loves getting comments on Facebook. • This is an invalid question. You’ve never thought about doing anything nice for anyone, ever. • Think through what their favourite thing to do is, and organise a surprise event where they get to do it.

  4. Your friend has been kidnapped by pirates. Do you: • Think “Good for them, maybe that’ll teach them not to be such a fool.” • Send a message to your friend telling them not to worry and to think of Johnny Depp. • Do nothing. “The pirates’ gain is my gain too.” • Do whatever you can to save them, get together a raiding party, raise a ransom, hire some ninjas, train to be a ninja yourself, don’t rest until your friend is safe.

  5. Your friend is going through a hard time. Do you: • Say “Well what do you want me to do about it?” • Say “I’ll pray for you”, but don’t. • Avoid them until you’re sure they’re ok. • Pray with them when they tell you, then regularly pray for them and check to see how they’re going.

  6. Because you care about your friends, do you: • Regularly stalk their profile on Facebook. • Lend them money and don’t make them pay you back for a week. • Do nothing. You don’t care for your friends. • Pray for them regularly, thanking God for them, and praying that they will know God better.
