Walk Not in the Counsel of the Ungodly
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
As we raise and teach our children and yound people we often talk about peer pressure, knowing this truth, that those we associate with will influence us. We tend to become like those we frequently associate with. So, if you spend time in church and with other dedicated Christians you are more likely to be more righteuos and Godly. Conversely, if we associate with those engaged in ungodly living, be sure that it will rub off. We do become like our friends.

What is the scripture reference???
This quote is from the beginning of the Book of Psalms, chapter 1, verse 1. Here is the whole context.
1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.
These are by far the most profound words of wisdom ever written down.
