Week 2: Life Detox
Key Scripture:
Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character." 1 Corinthians 15:33 NIV
Define Toxic: Anything containing poisonous material capable of causing sickness or even death.
Never let a toxic person write a chapter of your life story.
Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly. 2 Timothy 2:16
THREE TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS
- Negative Nelly
- Controlling Calvin
- Tempting Thomas
FENCES
As Christians, we need to be building more fences and less walls.
Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." Matthew 16:23 NIV
Build fences so that you can show the world Jesus.
I'm not going to be a part of this conversation.
I can't go there with you.
THROW IT OUT
(Potiphar's wife) caught (Joseph) by his cloak and said, "Come to bed with me!" But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house. Genesis 39:12
You can’t show people Jesus, if toxic people are in your life.
