Sermonette: Unequally Yoked? <\/p>\n

description: (hide) Examples of joining mismatched beings together range from an ox yoked to a donkey, struggling and pulling against each other, to ill-advised mixed marriages with pagan partners. When Israel ignored God’s warning about assimilating Gentile ways, a yoke of bondage was the consequence. Compromise axiomatically leads to snare and abject bondage. When the Corinthian church tried to syncretize God’s truth with the pagan culture around it, horrible enslaving consequences ensued. We are in the same position as the Corinthians, being immersed in a godless, evil world. We are greatly influenced by whomever we spend the most time. We become like those with whom we associate. God’s way is not compatible with the world’s way. Unfortunately, it is easy to become attached to worldly things. The antidote to being unequally yoked with the world is to take on Jesus Christ’s gentle yoke—harnessing ourselves into His great plan. God earnestly wants us to be holy as He is holy because that is the only way He can dwell in us. <\/p>\n
