    May a Christian Marry a Non-Christian Without Being Unequally Yoked?

    The Christian who marries a person who is morally sound and does not pose a burden to his or her Christian beliefs or practices doesn’t' fall under Paul's prohibition regarding being unequally yoked. Neither does the Christian businessman who is involved with unbelievers in the practice of a legitimate trade necessarily involve being unequally yoked. It is only when one's involvement with an unbeliever would necessarily involve the Christian in sin that such a relationship would be wrong.

This passage indicates that we should care for others by providing for their 1) Nourishment, 2) Shelter, 3) Clothing, 4) Comfort, and 5) Companionship. We must understand what it means to care about other people. Jesus said that this was key to eternal life.

  • Taking Risks as Christians

    In this study, we will look at different kinds of risks that Christians must take to be Christians. There is the risk of 1) Leaving the ones we love, 2) financial loss, 3) our life and health, 4) public rejection and failure. Each Christian should know what kind of risks he or she faces each day in living the Christian life and be prepared to handle those risks understanding that while there may be "risks" while we are upon the earth, the outcome is guaranteed. I want to spur the brethren on toward taking more risks in these areas because the greater risk one takes the greater reward that is associated with the risk.

    I wonder what would happen if Jesus gave a “State of the Church” speech to us today? We really do not have to wonder. He gave such a speech in Revelation 2-3 when he evaluated the seven churches of Asia.
