1 Corinthians 15:33
The communication you are around will affect you.
Make sure God is on your mind and in your motivations.
James 4:4
We can’t be friends with the world and with the Lord.  Choose who you will serve.
Proverbs 27:5-6
Being a friend means telling the truth even when it may hurt sometimes.
Hiding the truth will hurt much more in the long run.
Proverbs 14:25-35
Living in God gives confidence.  Living without the Lord is a slippery slope.
Psalms 66:18
We have to get things right with the Lord before we can enjoy His benefits.
1 John 5:14-15
1 John 3:18-24
Don’t be fooled; if you don’t think you are right with the Lord, He knows that.
If you are living it right, your heart can feel it, and God definately knows it.
(back to Proverbs 14)
People who have the Lord working in them do not get easily angered.
“I got mad because of…” is not an acceptable reason to sin.  Be slow to wrath.
“I’m sorry” is just a description.  Repentance is change.
What are you going to do this week to make sure your heart is sound…
