But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us. 2 Thessalonians 3:6

People follow people. Have you ever noticed? When several people are walking in a line, they tend to follow the person in front of them. If they veer to the right, others follow. I’ve even noticed on the highway, if a car moves over to one side of the lane, the one following does the same. Its human nature to follow someone else.

Question to ask yourself. Are the friends in your circle of influence worth following? Does their life line up with the Lord’s standards of conduct? If not, you are vulnerable to follow down a path of unrighteousness and the results of poor choices can last a lifetime. As you read this, take a few minutes to check your direction in life. If you are headed down the slippery slope of sin through the influence of others, its time to make the decision to turn back towards God and find peace instead of conflict and drama. God bless!
