About a mile from my house, right beside the road, is a
spring. It flows year-round and I usually
see people stopped there to get fresh, clean water. Last week we had tremendous storms with the
ditches full of muddy run-off. But the
spring still flowed clean and clear. It
flowed about twenty feet on one side of the road and then turned into a culvert
under the road, and on the other side, the clear spring water joined the muddy
turbulence. I could actually see both
waters flowing separately for a few feet.
But the rocky stream bed mixed the two effluents and soon both became
one muddy flow. As I watched the clear
water “disappear” I was reminded of the powerful influence that bad companions
have on good people. Paul warned in II
Corinthians 6:14&15, “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers:
for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion
hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what
part hath he that believeth with an infidel?”
Make no mistake, bad friends pull down good friends. Think about it.
