Like many of Paul's instructions, this is not a law that is to be strictly imposed on believers but a general principle that each of us needs to apply to our own life; or to be given as wise, biblical counsel to those who may have become embroiled in an unwise alliance. He is encouraging Wise Personal Judgment when choosing and maintaining special relationships in our lives, and certainly not imposing any legalistic command that must be followed rigidly. But we all need to look at our own lives and reflect on the friendship choices that we have made or are considering, and to base our choice on wisdom from the Word of God and the godly counsel of spiritual Christians. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership can righteousness have with wickedness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness? Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we are Your children and have been made new creations in Christ. Help us to choose our friends and acquaintances wisely. Direct us, we pray, in the choices we make with regard to the close, personal relationships that we choose to engage in, and may all we say and do be to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
