Choose your friends

 


Proverbs 1:10 [10]My son, if sinners entice you, Do not consent.

1 Corinthians 15:33 [33]Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."

We have to choose our circles. If we are not, we may inadvertently allow someone whose sole purpose in life is to sink your boat. 

Contrary to the beliefs of some, sinners and bad company do not necessarily mean unbelievers. Sadly, maraming believers ang matatawag na sinners (they are not living saintly) and bd company (they're carnal, worldly and legalistic).

Madaling ma-identify ang taong ang personal motto ay "paints the town red." Hopefully if you have friends like these, you help them but do not let them influence and control your choices.

Mas mahirap ma-identify ang mga bad company na may respectable sins. They look so holy on the outside but inside are dry bones. They are legalistic and judgmental. Some hold to wrong doctrine while being affable on the outside. Masaya silang kasama but just as poisonous, if not more, than those who live it up. 

We should choose friends who will point us to Christ. Someone says that we are the average of our 5 closest friends/acquaintances and if you're 5 friends are separated from Christ (whether believer or not), I won't be surprised if you start drifting away from Him as well. 

Choose friends who will challenge you to stand for Christ, to study doctrine and apply them to life . Choose friends who are grace -oriented and show fruit of the Spirit (as opposed to simply being busy in religious exercises). Choose friends who will make you better and not take you to the far country of libertines and legalists

These friends are assets. Choose them wisely and keep them for life. 

Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. Huwag ninyong hayaang nakawin ng mga huwad na guro ang inyong karapatang mag-isip ng doktrina. 

(Kung gusto ninyo ng karagdagang impormasyon, bisitahin ninyo kami. May pagtitipon kami sa Dahat, kada Linggo, kada 1:00-3:00 pm. Sana manampalataya kayo at kita-kita tayo.

Isang mahalagang paalala: ang mga blogs na ito ay personal kong opinyon at eksposisyon; hindi ito opisyal na pananaw ng Partido Christian Bible Church. Kung nais ninyong malaman ang kanilang opisyal na posisyun, magtanong kayo sa mga matanda ng simbahan. Ang Nieto Bible Page ay isang hiwalay na ministri mula sa PCBC at independiyente rito. Nakikipagtipon ako sa PCBC, pero may personal akong kumbiksiyon sa mga bagay. Bagama't miyembro (muli) ako ng teaching and ruling leadership ng PCBC, anumang mabasa ninyo rito ay hiwalay sa kanila. Anumang nasusulat ay aking pananagutan. 

Kung nakatulong sa inyo ang mga blogs na ito, mangyaring pasubscribe at pashare sa iba. Ibahagi natin at ikalat ang mga Salita ni Cristo at ang libreng biyaya ng Diyos sa lahat ng dakong Filipino ay lenggwahe. Salamat po.)
