Beware of the Company that You Keep!!!!!!
Proverbs 4:14
Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.
1 Corinthians 5:13
But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Psalm 1:1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
Discussion
· These scriptures discuss the importance, of keeping good company.
· The people we hang around influence our actions. (ex. peer pressure)
· Also, hanging around the ungodly crowd can get us in trouble. (wrong place at the wrong time = trouble)
· Misery loves company; negative people enjoy making others miserable.
· Beware of individuals who say they are your friend, but are really wolves in sheep’s clothing.
· “True Friends are those who stick around, during the bad times”
· “It is better to have 1 true friend, than 1,000 imitators”
· We should surround ourselves with positive, Christian people whose intentions are to help us and not bring us down. God used the scriptures to tell us to beware of evildoers, because they will lead us towards a path of destruction.

As a young christian it is hard to hang around your freinds that is in the world the bible says be of the world not in the world. Like the post says its pree pressure is hard to deal with as in wanting to fit in and wanting your freinds to like you but we have to realize that since you became a child of god you took off the old man which is the devil and you put on the new man which is Jesus which gives you eternal life. I know it may seem hard but look where the lord has brought you from. Trials and tribulations dont come to destroy you but to make you stronger. Dont give up the fight your friends might be telling you its ok to do somethings but you know that you have to answer to a higher power which is our lord and saviour Jesus Christ. Thank you for this bog its truly what we need.
