II Corinthians 6:11-18 ~ The Problem in Ministry

Excerpt:

Therefore do not become differently yoked to unbelievers. That covers marriage, it covers business, it covers social life, it covers everything. We are not talking about contact; we are talking about being yoked: joining yourself up with somebody; running with the crowd. God says He is going to dwell in His people and He is going to walk amongst His people. He dwells in my temple. And yet, I am going to go over and I am going to yoke myself in some way - socially, or legally.  In some way yoke myself, join myself, chain myself to somebody through agreement, or legal process, or just social time. And I have the spirit of God inside leading me and guiding me. I belong to Him. He is my Father and I am His child. But the other person does not know the Lord. There is no fellowship there. There is nothing in common there at all, zero, other than whatever business or social venture that we are seeking.
