‘Three Lives That Need To Be Changed.’
Proverbs 18:1-3.
a) Proverbs 18:1. The life of a recluse, because:-
1- Recluse is self indulgent.
2- Recluse snarls at every sound principle of conduct.
3- Recluse pursues selfish desires.
b) Proverbs 18:2. The life of a fool, because:-
1- Fools have no interest in understanding.
2- Fools only want to air their own opinions.
3- Fools want to show off.
c) Proverbs 18:3. The life of a wicked person, because:-
1- Wicked people bring contempt with them.
2- Wicked people bring shame with them.
3- Wicked people bring disgrace with them.
4- Wicked people bring dishonour with them.

‘A Good Example.’
a) John 13:15. The Example of Jesus Christ.
b) Luke 22:25-27. The example of a servant.
c) Galatians 6:1-4. The example of the humble restorer.

We should really want no influence from the life of a wicked person. Sometimes we may know wicked people in our environment of work, study or social life. We should not take on ourselves a burden to help them or try to bring them into Salvation. When we do this it is easy for us to get tied up in a relationship with them. If we have some “heart” to help a wicked person we should share our burden with other True Believer friends so that, as a team, we can reach out to the wicked person.
