Cor. 2 6:14-18, Deuteronomy 7:1-8<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christians ought not to be yoked up with non-Christians. God’s people ought not to yoke up with Satan’s children. Christians should love sinners, should be good neighbors, should visit them and have them visit in their homes, but Christians aren’t to be yoked with non-Christians in marriage, lodges, or anything so essential to life as to hinder our testimony.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I: The Yoke that binds a Christian, non-Christian is uneven.<\/strong>
\n1. One belongs to God, the other to Satan.
\n2. One is headed for Heaven, one to Hell.
\n3. Their conversation and walk is essentially different.
\n4. How can 2 walk together except they be agreed?
\n5. The entire spiritual load is pulled by the Christian and often while the other is completely balked.<\/p>\n

II: The Bible teaches separation.<\/strong>
\n1. The flood came after the sons of God married the daughters of men.
\n2. The Death Angel marched thru Egypt that Pharoah might know that there was a difference between the Egyptians & God’s people.
\n3. God gave many things to remind the Israelites that he was different, his food, clothing, beast, and fields.
\n4. A Christian is in this world, but not of the World.<\/p>\n

III: The Unequal Yoke brings heartaches, and failure.<\/strong>
\n1. It was the mixed marriages that drowned the Ancient World.
\n2. It was the mixed multiple that fell to lusting after the flood of Egypt.
\n3. It was the mixed multitude that murmured.
\n4. Solomon failed in his old age because of the unequal yoke in marriage.
\n5. It was the unequal yoke that caused the dogs to lick the blood of Ahab.
\n6. God sent a lion to kill the Prophet that failed to obey his command of separation.<\/p>\n

IV: Why does God say the yoke is unequal?<\/strong>
\n1. What fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness?
\n2. What communion hath light with darkness?
\n3. What agreement has Christ with Beliah?
\n4. What part has a believer with a non-believer?
\n5. What agreement has the house of God with idols?
\n6. “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye seperate, saith the Lord.”<\/p>\n

V: What shall I do?<\/strong>
\n1. “To one married to a non-Christian.” Cor. 1 7:10-16.<\/strong>
\n2. The unequal yoke of a modernistic church.
\n3. The unequal yoke that keeps one from serving God isn’t pleasing to Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
