Dave and Bethlie continue their study in Proverbs.  This week, they'll continue their focus on Influences That Kill with a special focus on friendships.

We must protect our children from lousy friends.

  • The Simple (they lack wisdom)
  • The Fool (makes fun of sin; ridicules righteousness)

Lousy friends can quickly undo everything we teach our children

Better to have no friends than to have lousy ones

Amnon (Old Testament) had a friend and it eventually cost him his life

A good friend does right and helps you do right

We must protect our children from lousy friends

  1. Choose their friends
  2. Insist they sit with you rather than friends
  3. Never allow them to be unsupervised (alone)
  4. No overnight in another home
  5. No teens alone in a car
  6. No teens alone on a trip
  7. No teens alone in a room
  8. Drop out of sports rather than allow teammates to influence your kids in lousy direction
