How to Protect Against Bad Influences

Nov 24, 2024    Adam McCain

In the final installment of our Oikos series, we dive into the powerful truth of Proverbs 13:20, exploring how the influences we allow into our lives shape our marriages and families. Drawing from Psalms 1:1-3, Pastor Adam McCain highlights three destructive influences to avoid—the wicked, sinful relationships, and scoffing attitudes—and provides practical strategies for minimizing their impact. Instead, we are called to embrace transformative influences: the Word of God, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the support of the Family of God. With compelling examples like the story of Mr. Yates and insights from the Center for Bible Engagement, you'll be equipped to cultivate a household grounded in biblical truth.


Discover how regular engagement with Scripture can transform your life, how the Holy Spirit empowers you for daily decisions, and why spiritual community is essential for thriving families. This message is a call to rise above worldly influences, safeguard your household (Oikos), and embrace the abundant life God desires for your family. Join us as we commit to building Godly marriages and families that resist darkness and shine His light.
