My driver’s love and divorce testimony – Life and death in the tongue

~ Mr. Streetz ~ 1 Comment

I was traveling recently and got into a discussion with my elderly driver. He’s driven me so many times before but I’ve never really had a personal discussion with him until today. It started with me asking about his plans for Christmas, to which he responded that he would be spending it with his children. I then enquired about his wife.

Is there more in the Bible that we can learn about who she was and what may ultimately have happened to her? I think there is. I've been pondering this for the past fortnight and having discussed my thoughts about her possible lived experience with some friends last night, I'm finally putting down some of my thoughts. 🤓

Why is God so concerned about his children marrying unbelievers?

Apparently there’s a long-time history lesson here. In Genesis 6:2-4, sons of God therein were the children from the lineage of Seth (keeping purity of God’s truth), while sons of men were of the lineage of Cain (evil men, contaminating God’s truth). NB: after Cain killed Abel, Seth was Adam’s next son, who was good … Continue reading Why is God so concerned about his children marrying unbelievers?
