Violence and wickedness are not contained to the violent person — they have a recruiting quality. The dangerous person entices and pulls others along a harmful path. Peer influence toward evil is real and serious. This is a warning both to resist such influence and to guard who we allow near us.
Memory phrase: Avoid those who lead wrong.
Talk about it: Have you ever been pulled toward something wrong by a friend? What happened?
Prayer: God, protect me from dangerous friendships.
