Marriage (Part 18) For God’s Sake & the Children’s Sake. What it is like to be married to an unbeliever (Part 3)
In Part 18 of Marriage: For God’s Sake & the Children’s Sake, we confront the painful reality of being married not only to an unbeliever, but to a mocker—someone who rejects correction, ridicules truth, and may even oppose your obedience to Jesus.
Through the powerful testimony of Pastor John Kilpatrick’s mother, Era Mae Kilpatrick, discover what it looks like to remain faithful to God while living with a hostile unbelieving spouse.
In this message, discover:
- The difference between an unbeliever and a hardened mocker
- Why biblical instructions for believers cannot be imposed upon someone who has not been born again
- How apostasy has entered marriages, families, and homes
- What Jesus means when He commands us to love our enemies, even when that enemy may be our spouse
- How to love, bless, pray for, and do good to someone who continually takes from you
- Why loving the ungrateful can store treasure and establish credit in heaven
- How God’s kindness toward the ungrateful and wicked reveals how His children should respond
- Why Jesus must remain above every human relationship, including marriage
- What to do when a spouse demands that you compromise your faith or disobey Jesus
- Why a believer cannot abandon fellowship with the body of Christ to satisfy an unbelieving spouse
You can love your spouse, honor your marriage, and pursue peace without placing your spouse above Jesus. Watch this urgent message and learn how to remain faithful when following Christ brings conflict into your own home.
