Careful Associations

“Don't take part in doing those worthless things that are done in the dark. Instead, show how wrong they are.” (Ephesians 5:11 CEV)

I have a large glass cutting board that always remains on my kitchen counter. I use it to chop onions, garlic, peppers, etc. The other day, I cut some mangoes on this cutting board and noticed that it tasted faintly of onions. This ruined the flavor of the mangoes.  

Everything we participate in, everyone that we associate with, and all the influences that swirl around us affect our souls. We may think we are starting fresh, but none of us are immune to worldly pressure. Thus, it is imperative that we are careful and intentional about whom we associate with and what we are involved in. Don’t take part in worthless pursuits. Don’t even hang out with those who live in darkness. Do not give them credibility by supporting them. Instead, show how wrong they are.
