Unequally-Yoked?
August 29, 2003
Normally we think of the term "unequally yoked" in reference to a believer being married to an unbeliever. But this morning I kept thinking about married believers who are part of completely different communities of faith. Is it right for a couple to do this? Is it advisable? Remember those words of Ruth?
Ruth 1:16 (GW) But Ruth answered, "Don't force me to leave you. Don't make me turn back from following you. Wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.
I'd love to hear any thoughts any of you have on this. Thanks!

that verse was part of our wedding vows.
and i've done a lot of 'going where you will go' in my life!
for one year, i went to a church 1-2 times a month without
my man. but at that time, he wasn't attending sunday morning
meetings. so it didn't seem too odd, cause he went with me now
and then to special events at that church.
the thing i noticed the most was other people's attitudes toward
me during that time. almost like pity -- but i wasn't in need
of pity! it was sort of wierd.
