Abraham, out of concern for his nephew Lot, in an episode that sounds like an auction, begs God to be merciful. Five times, ...read more

The Devil's Deception Of Ungodly Marriage Series

Contributed by Shaila Touchton on Mar 3, 2024

I must confront a reality that even the devil will attempt to deceive us by sending someone to marry us, promising a counterfeit unity that undermines God's design.

In Genesis 2:24, God ordained marriage as a sacred union between a man and woman, but the devil seeks to distort this divine institution. In 2 Corinthians 6:14-16, Paul warns us, "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers...what fellowship can light have with darkness?" Let us be ...read more

He emphasizes the importance of where we look, as it can lead us down a path of darkness. Often, temptation starts with a glance, but if we're not careful, it can turn into ...read more
