Choose Wisely




Walking in the Word

Romans 16:17



17 Now I urge you, brethren, note those who cause divisions and offenses, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and avoid them.



Responding to the Word

We are called to witness to our friends.  I know I often encourage each of you to sit next to or become friends with those who may be shunned away. But that also comes with a warning.  There are those who will cause  "divisions and offenses."  Simply stated, they cause a whole lot of trouble in your life.  They may say that they are Christian, but deep inside they really may not be.  Be careful how you choose your friends because if your not careful, YOU start becoming a lot like them.  

Praying in the Word

Father, We are called to Salt and Light to all of those around us.  Help us to be WISE concerning who we choose as friends.  Protect us from those who would bring trouble into our life and lead us I pray, in Your path of righteousness.      In Jesus' Name, Amen
