Imagine you are driving on a highway around 5 PM. The road is bustling with traffic and everyone is driving ten miles per hour over the speed limit. You are in the middle of this traffic, and in order to avoid an accident, you accelerate to match their speed. In doing so, you unwillingly violate the law and risk penalty from the police. I think this is a common situation we find ourselves in. Regardless of the merit of maintaining the speed of those driving around you, I would like to demonstrate how this applies to a Christian’s choice of company. Often times, those we frequently associate with are those who influence us the most. They affect our behavior, speech, and attitude toward everything in life.
