“Bad company
Corrupts
Good Morals”

1 Corinthians 15:33

NaughtyBoy+Coin On the first day of Kindergarten, all us children were standing in line waiting to enter the classroom. Back then we all carried metal lunch boxes and also had a quarter to pay for 'milk money' — then at the ridiculously low price of 5¢ a day!

Well, one naughty boy thought it would be fun to grab a quarter from a little girl’s hand, rushed to a grate in front of our classroom door and threatened to throw the quarter into it. A couple of boys joined in, egging him on while the little girl frantically cried to get it back, and unfortunately I also stupidly decided to 'get in on the fun.' Unbeknownst to us, the principal’s office was also right by our classroom, and he bounded out towards us saying in a booming, commanding voice “What Are You Boys DOING?!?”

He then marched us all into his office, gave us a stern lecture - all of which I forgot except for his closing words “…And I NEVER want to see ANY of you boys in here AGAIN!”

Thankfully, this was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I never again was in the principal’s office, and learned a valuable lesson to always stay away from people like that mischievous little boy.

The reality is that — “You ARE who you Associate With”— so when you associate with bad people, chances are you’ll also wind up in trouble too!

Friend, as Romans 13:13 exhorts, live a decent life for all to see, not participating in wild activities and immoral living. Instead, as 1 John 1:7 instructs:

“If we walk in the light as He (Christ) is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”
