“Should I let my child participate in a school field trip to a Buddhist temple?”
I am a member of several Christian social media groups. Some pages are for men and women, and some are just women's groups.

Scripture Spotlight: Unequally yoked?
Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com Today I want to examine a scripture that is sometimes not read or obeyed as fully in context as it should be. I would say the majority of Christians are familiar with the version of 2 Corinthians 6:14 which says: Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers.
