Choose Your Friends Wisely

 

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm. Proverbs 13:20

I am not sure when I first learned this; perhaps my late teens or early 20s. I had a friend or two that would ask me to go to the bars with them. Knowing that I did not drink, it was just to get together and chat. But in doing so, I soon learned that a bar was not a likely place to meet someone that would have a big positive influence on my life. Most people that were successful in life did not hang around bars, drinking and smoking. It took me a while to find a place where I had people all around me that would have a positive influence in my life and where I really felt that I fit in. I had attended a couple churches in my life and the people going there were great. But I never felt a part of things until coming to Living Hope. I feel that I have learned so much more about the Bible from people that know it and live it every day of their lives. Even though I am far from wise, at least I feel that I am “walking with the wise” at Living Hope.
