I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate(closely and habitually) with unchaste (impure) people. 1 Corinthians 5:9 The company you keep has such an influence on your spiritual life. Fellowshiping with godly people will help speed you on to victory, while fellowshiping with those who are ungodly will drag you down to defeat. Thats why the Bible has some things to say about your friends. Thats why it tells you to separate yourself from the world. Because evil companions will corrupt you. Now, Im not talking about ministry. Jesus Himself ministered to sinners. You have to mix with them to preach to them and pray for them. What Im talking about here are the people you choose for friends. If you want to walk in the things of the Lord, dont choose friends who walk in the things of the devil, people who talk and act ungodly, who dont give God any place in their lives. Theyll pull you down. As you rub shoulders with them, youll expose yourself to temptation. Youll get so familiar with sin it will start to appear less repulsive to you. Sooner or later, youll fall into it. So choose your friends wisely. Fellowship with those who call on the Name of the Lord out of a pure heart (2 Tim. 2:22). Expose yourself to their love and peace. Let their faith rub off on you!!
