This blog serves as an outreach for Pastor Randy Powell of the First Baptist Church of Franklin, PA. Feel free to ask questions or send me an e-mail at pastorpowell@hotmail.com
The prophet Malachi warns the people of Israel against the practice of marrying outside of the Covenant people, not for any racial reason, but because it brings into the nation those who worship other gods, and foster disunity within marriages and in parenting. The same warning applies to the Church, as made plain by Paul's warning about being "unequally yoked" to the church at Corinth. It is a dangerous choice for a Christian to marry a non-Christian, or for a committed disciple of Jesus Christ to marry a spouse for whom faith is not a priority.
What then do we say to those already in a spiritually uneven marriage? Pray, continue to pray. Be faithful, be patient, be kind, make sure that your devotion to God does not waiver, and make sure that your children are brought up in the knowledge of the Lord.
