(Dated September 6 and 7, 2011)
Be wise enough to choose what kind of people you associate yourself with because the more you spend time with them, the more you will become like them. So if they sin, eventually, you will to. This is not a self-righteous or judgmental comment. It just says that choosing good company is exercising wisdom.
If you are worried about not being able to reach out to your unbeliever friends, please know that there are other ways to do so, way better and more effective than immersing yourself in their ungodly environment. No matter how strong a Christian you think you are--or make yourself to be--when a temptation presents itself, you really can't tell whether you will give in or not. It's easy to say no when you're not in a tight spot, but if you put yourself out there, in the midst of temptation and sin, how long do you think it will take before you indulge yourself? If you're trying to prove that you are a strong Christian, well, wake up, kid, because you did just the opposite. The Bible says a Christian who is enticed/talked into committing sin is even worse than a person who does not believe in God. Bad company corrupts good character. You will suffer consequences.
