Do you deliberately avoid anyone who knows God more than you do?

"Some of You deliberately avoid anyone who knows God more than you do, who's more zealous for God then you are....you've deliberately chosen your friends because they're right at your level or a little lower and there's nothing about them that will challenge you to go higher...be honest..do a little self-examination..why do i have the friends i have.....does their presence prod and draw me to greater conformity to Christ OR does it leave me more smug and more satisfied and self-deceived with where i am?" ~ Albert N. Martin
