he New International Version 1 Corinthians 15:33

33 Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”

The more time we spend around others, the more we talk like them, act like them, maybe even look like them…

Eg. Old married Couples.

Why it is so important to choose our friends wisely:

Friendships are built around common interest.

The New International Version Chapter 12

26 The righteous choose their friends carefully,

but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

A Friend is someone who comes in when the world walks out.

The New International Version Chapter 13

Everyone should have a:
