Good company

Episode 386

Angus Buchan • Acts 4:13

Today we hear about the importance of keeping good company. Whether we like it or not, we are influenced by our friends. If they are always moaning about the country, or the economy or the weather, or whatever, then instead of being hopeful and saying, “ But God” in any situation and acknowledging that He is in control, you will become negative just like them. Stay away from bad company that corrupts and seek out people who have a heart for Jesus.
