To be unequally yoked or joined is to court disaster or in the least prolonged unhappiness.



               
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?”  2 Cor. 6:14 (KJV)

To be unequally yoked or joined is to court disaster or in the least prolonged unhappiness.  Originally it referred to the pairing of different sized or different species animals in a yoke to pull a plow or loaded cart.  Their inequality could result in poor performance or even injury to one or both of them.  Putting it simply; believers (for their own good) should not enter into unions with unbelievers be it in marriage, business, recreation or in spiritual matters.  The differences in values, philosophy, faith and morals usually seem to end with the believer compromising their faith and offending God.  To remain faithful to God  Paul offers the following advice:  “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,” 2 Cor. 6:17 (KJV)  Separating ourselves to God is truly the winning solution.

Read your Bible.

It has been said that in the heart of man is a God shaped void which can only be filled by the presence of God. Mankind has a hunger and thirst for the fulfillment only God can bring but sadly we seek to feed the hunger and quench the thirst with worldly things. God knows what we have need of and has written us a guide to discover how to have fullness of joy and peace. Read your Bible. 4 And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.  1 John 1:4 (NKJV)

Are you “on schedule” with God or are you running late? If not; today is a good time to start catching up!

1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.   Isaiah 51:1-2 (KJV) The art or process of mapping a journey overland, sea, air or space requires the use of fixed or known reference points along the route.   It naturally begins with a starting points and the identification of a destination.   When covering large distances “way points” are established to (1) measure distance traveled and for (2) course correction to ensure one is still on the planned route.   Way points are also places where one can restock supplies, rest and refit for the journey.   The Hebrews of Isaiah’s time had a “history” with God and here He calls them for a stroll down memory lane.   Modern day Believers also have a “history” with ...
