The Slippery Slope of Demonic Yoking

Much has been made the last few days in the secular media regarding the marriage of Beyonce and Jay-Z. I don't really care much about it "personally", but I am concerned about the unequal yoking of a believer and an unbeliever. The story of Beyonce and Jay-Z seems to mirror that of many path many young women believers choose to take in their lives...

The Path of Unequally Yoking with an Unbeliever
1. Meet an unsaved person who "treats them 'nice'"
2. Ask them..."Are you saved" - to which the unsaved person says..."Yes"
3. Develop a relationship based on relational affinity rather than Christ.
4. Find a carnal pastor to do your pre-marital counseling; and/or reject the counsel of Godly men and women in your life
5. Fall in love, thus negating your ability to look at the person through a biblical, Christ-centered lens
6. Become disenchanted with marriage, God and Christ when your marriage does not work out as planned

In the case of many young believers, unequal yoking begins in dating, moves on to engagement and continues on to marriage. Unfortuanely the heart of the believer was unequally yoked to the world long before the marriage took place.

I don't know if Beyonce is a believer in the person of Jesus Christ, but when Destiny's Child was originally signed to a major label deal, the members were a part of a growing church in Atlanta, talked alot about their commitment to purity, and spoke about regular times of devotion and bible study while on the road. Their first album had a version of "Total Praise", and their music was focused more on relationships vs. sex (although the first album already demonstrated that the slippery slope has already begun.)

Now five years and several Bootylicious shows later, it seems that Beyonce has been fully conformed into this world, forsaking the Lord Jesus Christ in this decision to marry a man who calls himself J-hovah. This is the typical path of the seed that falls in thorny ground; the Love of money, ways of the world and other vain distractions choke the fruitfullness of the Word of God in the life of the believer.

Don't believe the hype y'all -- Anti-Christ is real in the world today, don't get it twisted. Check out this article.
