In today's society and the world, we need to be sure that we are not consumed by relationships that are not of God.  The Holy Bible clearly says to not be 'unequally yoked'.  It continues in 11 Corinthians, chapter 6 to come out from amongst the unclean.  We don't want to taint or contaminate the the godliness that we manifest in our lives.  You know the old saying, 'birds of a feather flock together'.  The English dictionary says that it means...... said about people who have similar characters or interests, especially ones of which you disapprove, and who often spend time with each other.  We want to manifest Christ always.  So, we need to be sure we are hanging out with the same type people..........Born-Again Believers!!!  But the ones that are God-Ordained!  Praise God for what He is doing in our lives.  We need the direction and leading of Holy Spirit in our lives concerning friends and relaitonships.
