Avoiding Punishment, or Doing the Right Thing?

Several years ago, I had made some decisions that put me in a toxic friendship, and I was making decisions that were keeping me there. This "friendship" was pulling me away from God and my family. God was telling me to stop, but I let the toxic friend talk me out of...

From Another Perspective
