Making friends with the ungodly. Friendliness and friendship are not the same. You become like those who are your friends.
Having a goal to get rich. Those who have this as a goal have a distorted view of life, of values, and of people. They are users.
Dishonoring your parents. A lack of respect for parents reveals an ungrateful and selfish heart.
Feeding your mind on trash. You are “trashy” because you feed on trash.
Drinking alcohol and using drugs. These distort your judgment; making fools of men and women.
Having the “late” habit. Successful people value time. When you are late, you show you have little or no respect for others.
Having the “I don’t care” attitude. This is an attitude of indifference, and shows that you are lazy, selfish, and spoiled.
Having the “I quit” habit. Those who quit when the going gets rough, show they are wimps, and are totally lacking in character.
Giving your mind and body over to sex. Sex is intended for married couples. When you ignore this, you destroy your self-respect, your conscience, your reputation, and your health.
Rejecting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. By rejecting Jesus as Lord and Savior, you miss the purpose for this life, and eternal life at death.
