5 People You Must Avoid in Old Age | Even Family | by Billy Graham

As we grow older, the relationships we keep become more important than ever. Are the people in your life drawing you closer to God, or are they pulling you away? In this powerful and eye-opening message, we reveal the 5 types of people you must avoid in old age to protect your faith, peace, and purpose—even if they are family! 💡 1 Corinthians 15:33 warns us: “Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.” Surrounding yourself with the wrong people can drain your energy, joy, and spiritual strength. In this video, we discuss: 🔹 The Constantly Negative and Complaining – Their words bring fear, bitterness, and discouragement instead of faith. (Philippians 4:8 – “Whatever is true, whatever is noble… think about such things.”) 🔹 The Manipulative and Self-Serving – Some people only come around when they need something, draining your energy. (Proverbs 4:23 – “Guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”) 🔹 The Unbelievers Who Mock Your Faith – Those who reject God and belittle your beliefs can weaken your spiritual strength. (2 Corinthians 6:14 – “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers.”) 🔹 The Ones Who Stir Up Conflict and Drama – Some thrive on gossip and division, robbing you of the peace God intends for you. (Romans 16:17 – “Watch out for those who cause divisions… Keep away from them.”) 🔹 The Ungrateful and Entitled – Beware of those who take your kindness for granted, expecting more while giving nothing in return. (2 Timothy 3:2 – “People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money… ungrateful…”) 🔥 WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS VIDEO: ✔️ How to recognize toxic relationships that drain your peace and faith ✔️ The biblical perspective on setting healthy boundaries ✔️ Why it’s essential to surround yourself with godly, uplifting people ✔️ How to guard your heart from negativity and manipulation ✔️ The importance of choosing relationships that honor God 🙏 God calls us to walk in love, but also in wisdom!
