Can There Be Danger in Where We Live? Part 1 of 2

Preview: Choosing where we live and who we associate with is very important for God’s people. Surrounding yourself with either good or evil will affect the way you live your life. ‘Guilty by association’ is not the way anyone wants to be looked at and judged in this life. This is the first part of a two-part lesson on this subject.
