The Bullet of Choice: Who You Associate with Matters
One of England’s greatest Generals, noted for his many victories, once said “the battle is won or lost when I chose my commanders.” This great General recognized the foundational principle of good associates. If he chose weak commanders he would lose. Only if he chose commanders of strength, integrity, courage and vision did his armies have a chance of winning.
Josh McDowell, well-known author, apologist and scholar, has stated that, “it is safe to assume 95% of all the agony, hurt, anguish, disappointments and, and frustrations that come to us are the result of poor choices in our relationships.”
I pastured a church where hundreds of students attended weekly. I constantly reminded those serious about Christ that “they will never get closer to God by choosing as their best friends those who are running from Him!”
