Title: Surrounded By Who?
Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character. – 1 Corinthians 15:33
“Bad company corrupts good character or behavior.” Did you hear this from your parents growing up? I know I did. Have you used it with your kids? It is used because surrounding ourselves with good friends is essential. Others, good or bad, can influence our character because our role is defined by what we think, feel, and behave. These things can be affected by others. Proverbs 13:20 gives a sound council on this: “He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.”
Look at who you have surrounded yourself with. Are they helping and pushing you to pursue and strengthen your relationship with Christ, or are they keeping you from your relationship with Christ? Great friends will challenge you to do the right thing. The wrong friends will lead you into bad situations.
Real Men: Build character with great friends.
