Be Cautious About The Influence Of Others

When we hang around with people who are living in negative and unhealthy ways because we want to be a positive influence on their lives, that can be a very good, helpful and noble action.  However, this requires a measure of caution as well as maturity, strength and wisdom.  Because sometimes this can backfire and the people who are living in negative and unhealthy ways actually end up being the stronger influence.

Good Influence Or Bad Influence?

We all have influence on others.  Some of us have influence on many, others of us have influence on only a few.  But we all have influence.  So the question becomes: are you and I providing an unhealthy influence or are we providing a good, positive, helpful, godly influence?
