Run Away


Do not be deceived:  Bad company corrupts good morals.

1 Corinthians 15:33

This Bible verse seems almost too simple to be taken as serious advice from the Apostle Paul.  Yet, when we consider how often we are tempted and enticed to do things which we know are wrong, it is clear that this is true. 

It is not the big things which drag Christians away from the faith, but a mass of small sins which lead the way and make it easier and easier to stray from the Word of God.  Once we stray, there is an army of people who will remind us that we are “not very Christian” or that we “had fun” engaging in sinful behavior. 

Then we have to fight our way back to a place where we believe we are saved.  God is ready, willing and able to forgive us, it is the scars of sin that make it difficult for us to turn our lives around, and back to Christ. 

Take the easy way out.  Run away from those who would corrupt you.
