Living With an Unbelieving Mate

Dec 29, 2013Dr. John King, Senior PastorUnequal YokeA Marriage Made In Heaven

This message addresses the challenges faced by a believing wife living with an unbelieving husband, emphasizing the importance of submission, moral purity, and inner beauty. The speaker highlights that the solution is not to leave the marriage or pressure the husband with words, but rather to demonstrate a consistent, godly life that reflects Christ's love. The message draws from 1 Peter 3, encouraging believers to focus on their behavior and character as a means to influence their unbelieving spouse positively. Ultimately, the speaker stresses the significance of inner beauty and a gentle spirit in winning over an unbelieving partner.
