Do not be mismated with unbelievers. For what partnership have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 2 Corinthians 6:14 RSV
Mismated is literally a term that means unequally yoked.
A yoke is a wooden frame or bar with loops at either end, fitted around the necks of two animals, which tied them together and forced them to function as one. That is what Paul speaks of here. He is thinking of Deuteronomy 22, where the Law says, Do not plow with an ox and a donkey yoked together
(Deuteronomy 22:10). That may seem strange to us, but God was concerned that the Israelites not tie together two animals of a different nature. Continue reading
“French wants to speak on “How to Be Supportive of Your Pastor and Church Leaders in a Polarized Political Year,” yet he has engaged in unbridled Trump Derangement Syndrome, repeatedly calling the former President a threat to “our democracy,” urging voters to give Joe Biden a second term in office, castigating Republican loyalists intent on voting for him again…”
“This is madness. It’s effeminate nonsense weakening our military. This irrelevant, abusive nonsense will be taught by sociology Professor Ender. Sociology is one of those fields that pretends to be a science, but it is not.”
(Stephen Green – PJ Media) When Presidentish Joe Biden took office — and I do mean “took” — more than three years ago, every reader here knew we were in for bad times.
“Today, we face another grave error under the same misguided leadership as President Biden threatens to cut off aid to Israel in the midst of their ongoing conflict.”
“Disturbingly, this secular influence can be seen in the teachings of popular figures within the Christian community. Among the proponents of this doctrine of multiculturalism are David Platt, Matt Chandler, Tim Keller, JD Greear, Mark Dever, Russell Moore, Beth Moore…”

“On Capitol Hill, Biden is being blasted by lawmakers for the dangerous decision — which is obviously being made to appease Democratic Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib in Michigan.”
“If you want to improve your kid’s chances of getting into an elite university — and you can afford it — it certainly doesn’t hurt to start donating major cash to the school as early as possible. But some wealthy Jewish families who have done just that at schools like Harvard and Columbia, sometimes beginning when their children were in first grade, are now writing it off as a loss.”

“Asserting that God accepts the worship of all religions is to elevate human judgment above the decree of the one who created their mind and even gave them the ability to reason. It’s an arrogant posture—a vivid reflection of self-worship rather than submission to God, and this arrogance demonstrates a devastating disregard for the sanctity of Scripture and God’s explicit instructions on worship and idolatry.”
“There is another aspect to this story that has largely gone unnoticed. Indoctrination of students. Manipulating immature minds to embrace the progressive cause.”
“It is clear that they are not motivated by legitimate concern for Arab and Muslim lives, whatever the rhetoric. If they were, then Israel would hardly be the only, or even primary, target. The death toll from over a decade of government-led bloodshed in Syria is catastrophic but has not gripped the imagination of campus activists.”
“Throughout history, this pattern of irrationality has persisted, manifesting in myriad forms of rebellion against God’s sovereignty. When one rejects the divine foundation of truth—God’s self-revelation to creation—he embarks on a perilous path marked by confusion and folly….”
“We took extra time to do training and talk them through, and made sure every single person we talked to knew what was going on.”
“Biden’s Department of Justice has notably refused to investigate the civil rights abuses being committed by the “encampments” — against Jews, journalists, and others — and has also refused to consider RICO conspiracy charges.”
“Just to add my two cents. This is what authoritarians do when they are turning the nation into a communist country. They hire all the most incompetent people to ruin everything.”
“Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz said there is an organization behind all of these protests, radicalizing our kids. They say they will find out who it is.”
Though feeling angry at these students is tempting, one should feel pity. After all, they were molded, not created this way. They were taught to say these things, to feel this way, and to act this way toward one another. They learned it from their teachers, many of whom march alongside their pygmalions in “solidarity.”
