- Tonight we are going to look at people who influence what we do in our lives and think
about how we influence others

on my life, for good and bad

The Bible bit
- The Bible says:
- Proverbs 13:20
"Spend time with the wise and you will
become wise, but the friends of a fool will suffer"
- 1 Corinthians 15:33
"Do not be fooled: "Bad friends will ruin good
habits."
- Proverbs 29:9
"The sweet smell of perfume and oils is pleasant, and so is
good advice from a friend"
- If this is true do you think we should think about whom we hang about with?
- What one thing do you think you could change to be a better influence to your friends?
Conclusion
- 1 Corinthians 15:33
"Do not be fooled: "Bad friends will ruin good
habits."
