RELATIONSHIPS Part 1

First I would like to say thank you to everyone that supports me and Jasmine's blog, and for also supporting my "texting ministry"........lol. We have wanted to do something like this for a long time, and so proud that we get to share our journey and walk with God with you guys.

For those of you who don't know, I text a daily thought about life, love, and the word. When I asked what people wanted me to talk about, they literally ALL said relationships. Since it is such a broad subject, me and Jasmine have decided to do it in parts, we really don't know how many parts yet, but you can never have enough info on relationships, lol.


Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18

This piece of the bilbe can mean SOOO much, so I am going to disect it in parts that pertain to relationships.

Ok, if you are reading this, I hope that you're saved. If not, check out the blog entry "Being Saved Is The First Step".

Now that you're saved, we can talk about a Christian relationship. These scriptures are the basis for social seperation from non-believers. We can't get along, and there can be no longevity. This being said, this scripture clearly tells us that a relationship with someone that has no intention to become saved or is not saved already, the relationship is IMPOSSIBLE. You must be wondering in your head, well the person I'm with doesn't believe in God, they don't want to even be bothered with the bible, what do I do? I say DUMP THEM. I say this because it makes no sense to be in a relationship where a God that loved you so much that he gave his son for you, is not welcome. But you should also give them an ultimatum, and tell the person that in order to love me right, and be with me, you must love God as well, and keep him head of this relationship. Trust me, this is hard. But so what you might have to leave them, all things work together for the good of them that love the Lord, and you never know, the person you are about to leave, may make way for a person that loves God, fears God, and wants to know more about him as you do. God can't be the center of a relationship when one party won't let Him in. God says he will be in the midst of 2 0r 3 that get together in HIS NAME!!! God cannot bless a relationship that he is not in, or welcome to, even when only one party objects. By the way, to the married people out there, this does not not condone divorce, but again, GIVE AN ULTIMATUM. You might not have been saved when you got hitched, or not cared that your spouse was, but I hope you care now. Remember that the relationship can't have God in the midst, and have God blessing it, because you guys are unequally yoked!!!

Be Blessed!
