“37) And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell: 38) But thou shalt go unto my father's house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.” (Genesis 24:37,38) Here I am reminded of II Corinthians 6:14-18. A believer who desires to be accepted of the Lord is to come out from among unbelievers and be separate from them. A righteous man should never take a wife who is unrighteous. Though we live among the unsaved, we are to be separate from them. A young man should always take a wife from among those who live in his Father’s house. That is, a child of the heavenly Father should always seek a spouse from among others who are children of the Father. A young man who has come out from among the heathen and is living a life of separation should seek a wife who also has come out from among the heathen and is living a life of separation unto the Lord.

About the Author
Hello! My name is Connie, and I live in North Carolina. The Lord has blessed me with wonderful parents, a wonderful sister, and a great church family . The past few years have been difficult in many ways, but God has been with me all the way. Much praise goes to the Lord for His guidance and wisdom in starting this website. I would also like to express my thanks to Valerie who has joyfully and willingly given of her time to help design this website and do much of the technical work. She and her family are faithful servants to the Lord. They also have gone through many trials in the past few years, but they have allowed God to use these trials to make them sweeter and more like His Son Jesus Christ. Rights:
