I would like to share a small story.

I am now a believer by the grace of God and predestination, but I was raised in an unbelieving family. I was a good girl and sweet child, kind of backwards and did not get into trouble, but I remember when Satan entered into my life and started me down the wrong road.

It did not happen when I was a teenager, but when I was twelve years old. A girl that had once gone to my school and was very popular moved back to our town. For some reason she called me. It was 10:00 P.M., and that was against our rules to get calls that late, but for some reason my parents let me talk to her anyway. She invited me to her birthday party. I was so excited to go, because she was very popular and I was not. I went, and from that time my life changed from wholesome to hellsome.

There is no need to go into all the details of how and where Satan led me in those years to come, but I just wanted to share this to remind parents and young people how important friends (influences) are in a young persons life. All it took to start me down the wrong road was a phone call. What will Satan try to use on you or your child?
