Take a look around you and consider the company you keep. As you think of your closest relationships—even those who share a pew with you on Sunday mornings—do they largely consist of the “rabble,” the riffraff—people who are saved, people who are freed from the enemy’s hold, but who are pursuing God’s fullness with only a halfhearted interest? Are they mere churchgoers, Christians in name only, people who are along for the journey but mainly just riding on the coattails of others? Make no mistake about it, their attitude will inevitably affect yours.
