Hybridization

Just as the hybridization of certain species of animals and plants produces sterility, spiritually hybridized relationships can also produce spiritual fruitlessness.  The Apostle Paul cautions us.

Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 1 Corinthians 6:14

We encounter a ready illustration of this warning in the opening chapters of the Bible.  The Bible is one of the oldest books in the world and in Genesis, its Book of Beginnings, it speaks of the world’s first superheroes — hybrid men of storied origins whose power was great, but not great enough to save them from their nemesis – themselves.   By pursuing spiritually mismatched relationships these “fallen ones” sought to transcend their relational brokenness with God and ended up becoming more profoundly fallen.

This week we continue our examination of Genesis by discussing the first part of Genesis 6, the account of the sons of God and the daughters of man.  Join us this week in worship at Pottsville Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church as we consider the centrality of the gospel in all of our relationships. Worship begins at 10:45 am.  For directions click here. We look forward to seeing you.
