Reasons for Avoiding Evil Company
Mark 14:68-72
But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what you say. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.…


1. There cannot be true fellowship with God and His enemies too.

2. Every man's company tells what he is. Ravens flock together by companies; and so do doves. h good man will not willingly stand in the way of sinners.

3. The practice of wicked men should make good men shun their company; for wherein are their sports and delights, but in things which displease God and grieve His Spirit, and the spirits of all who love God and His glory? What can a good man see in such company, but must either infect him, or at least offend him in almost everything?

(Dr. Thomas Taylor.)
