Dear Friend,

Don't Let This Bad Example Influence You.

Follow Only What Is Good.

Scripture

3 John

11 Dear friend, don’t let this bad example influence you. Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God.

Observation

Let's face it we are influenced by those we hang around. So if that is the case, and it is, then it is super important who we spend most of our time with. It is a no-brainer, or at least it should be!

Two wrongs don't make a right … 1 Thessalonians 5:15 (NIV)
Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

What he or she did was wrong so what I am doing, even though it is wrong too … well it is okay! No, two wrongs don't make a right … they are both still wrong!

“Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God.”

Application

I want to be a good influence on those who are part of my life.

How about you?

Matthew 5:16

16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

1 Corinthians 15:33

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

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we live in a world where every day we are tempted to go along with the crowd and to do things that violate what You have said in Your Word. Help me not to be influenced to do things that are clearly wrong. Don't let me be influenced negatively by someone else. Give me the strength to say no to sin. Help me to be a godly influence on those around me.
