Is your best friend really the best for you?
We should keep away from those who are wicked. Psalm 1:1 says, "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."
You shouldn't pick your friends by how funny, pretty, smart, athletic, "cool", and how popular they are. Pick friends that will encourage you to grow in Christ and friends that you can encourage also. If you really want to be more like Christ and avoid sin, then choose the right friends. Don't let your " best friends" pressure you into sin. When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in Daniel 3 were told that they had to bow down before a statue, they did not bow down even though the consequence was to be thrown into the fiery furnace of King Nebuchadnezzar. It will take you to be different from the world to actually glorify God. You can't be listening to rock music and then going to church and worshiping Christ at the same time. We cannot serve two masters: God and sin. Some people will persecute you and make fun of you if you are trying to please God and lead people the right way but God will give you many rewards that will last for eternity in heaven. So do you really have the right friends? Don't be ashamed of being a Christian. Stand up for Christ. God will bless you.
