Romans 16:17 ~ “I urge you, my friends: watch out for those who cause divisions and upset people's faith and go against the teaching which you have received. Keep away from them!” (GNT)
It’s sad to say, but not everyone is as pleased with your relationship with Christ as you would think. Misery loves company, and some people, even members of your family, want you to stay low with them. My cousin’s wife invited me to her daughter’s birthday party once; it was on a Sunday at 11am. I told her I wouldn’t be able to make it because I would be at church. She told me, “Aw girl, you can miss one Sunday, it ain’t gonna kill you. You don’t have to go EVERY week.” I want to remind you today to watch out for those who go against what God is telling you to do and keep away from them. Surround yourself with likeminded individuals who will support your choices. If all you get is negativity, strife and confusion from that person, it may be best to love them from a distance. Don’t allow anyone or anything to come between you and God, you need Him! You may lose friends; your family members may stop speaking to you, but so what? If God is for you…who can be against you?! (Romans 8:31)
