Choose friends carefully.

God's word covers every area of life. Here we even see He teaches us about choosing friends:

Proverbs 12:26 

26 The righteous should choose his friends carefully,
For the way of the wicked leads them astray.

Followers of Jesus are only righteous because of Jesus. He died for our sins and thus we as followers of Him have become righteous by faith alone in Him as Lord and Savior. As followers we are told here to choose our friends carefully. Find friends who are also followers of Jesus. They will help us grow in our faith. However if we choose friends who follow the worlds ways they will lead us away from Jesus and to sin! 
We also have a duty to lead the lost to the Lord so we will have friends who are of the world but our closest friends whom we spend much time with should be followers of Jesus!

Heed the Word of God!
