GOOD COMPANY!

November 19, 2024 by Carl Hanson

      As Jesus noted regarding His disciples (John 17:14-16), we are in the world, but not of it. We are to understand our role in the world as that of being a godly influence. (i.e. Matthew 5:13-16) That necessitates interaction with it. Still, we must remain mindful of our closest associations and the influence of that sphere.

            Writing to Christians at Corinth, Paul exhorted. . .

            “(33) Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”” (1 Corinthians 15:33 ESV)

            As we acknowledge that reality, we should also encouragingly understand the converse: good company enhances good morals or character. As someone has urged, “Surround yourself with those who bring you closer to God.” May we appreciate the great blessing of being in the good company of those who encourage our relationship with God and our work in this world to His glory!

            Have a great day INFLUENCED BY THE GOOD TO DO THE GOOD OF GOD!

                        Carl

Our Mission

Truth For Teens was originally a publication with a circulation of over 500 to youth throughout the United States.  This was possible because a group of men and women felt a need to provide healthy, helpful information to our youth as they deal with daily situations.

That need has not changed. The Central church of Christ at Pflugerville, Texas has decided to oversee this continuing, important ministry with this website and publication of a regular newsletter available to all teens around the world. We want the truth of God to be available as the “truth for teens” as well!
