An old saying says:”Tell me who is your friend and I will tell who you are”. No matter where you go the average controls you. Sometimes, we even don’t figure out that we start thinking, walking, speaking, faking like the persons we spend time with. If you are accompanied by good persons, you will find yourself thinking and acting according to good morals, but if you spend time with bad apples, your mind becomes corrupted.
The Bible says:
Do not be deceived: „Bad company corrupts good morals”. (1Corinthians 15:33)
It happens almost every time that in a class of students there be one or two bad apples. Such students kick up a noise and disturb all the class and encourage others to do the same. Bad apples live their life according to their understanding and don’t obey rules and harm other people. Listen to how God describes them in the Bible:
„being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil, full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. (Romans 1: 29-32)
Recently, an international organization in Republic of Moldova, encouraged a group of young people to kiss between themselves, boys with boys and girls with girls, in a public place. This was an immoral behavior and such people are true examples of being bad apples. All bad apples are under the wrath of God. But the good news for „bad apples” isthat Jesus Christ died and resurrected to transform their lives.
Remember:
Bad Apple is a person who is bad and makes others bad
