It is easy to let our guard down, but it is not right. It is easy to be influenced by others. The influence can be good or bad, but when your companions are not faithful Christians, the influence is invariably evil. Young people especially need to be careful in choosing their companions. Peer pressure can be a very powerful influence in young lives.
Young people are especially vulnerable to the pull of unclean influences.
Youth is characterized by strong passions, immaturity, and opportunity. Parents today should be ashamed when they allow or encourage their children to take part in activities which could potentially lead to ruin. In our small community the prom is a big event. Amazingly there are several Christian young people who are planning on attending the dance. They do not intend to actively take part in dancing, but will immerse themselves in the evening and its dangers.
