When God says...
My son, do not walk in the way with them, Keep your foot from their path; For their feet run to evil, And they make haste to shed blood. (Proverbs 1:15, 16 NKJV)
He gives a way to confront the invitation of sin. It must be rejected at the first attempt to tempt, by refusing even the association that can lead to sin. Avoid the beginnings of sin. This is a warning not to keep evil company. There is guilt by association. You may not be guilty of their sins; but if you are caught with them, you will pay the terrible penalty of being with them. Many have gotten into serious trouble just for want to belong. The line, "everyone is doing it" is often used to justify actions leading to trouble. Peer pressure can influence bad judgment. The best way to avoid this is as the Scripture advises. Don't go with them in the first place. Say "no" to temptation. Say yes to God's word.
As it is written - Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. (James 4:7 NKJV)
And I say, AMEN!
