On being unequally yoked...
The longer I do business, whether my own, or as a consumer, the more I realize that I shouldn’t be so surprised by dishonest business practices. Clients who don’t pay their bills, company policies that rely on the fact that legal claims will cost more than the dishonest fees, restrictions, and terms.
For many of us, doing business with others is simply trading work or money for the labors we perform to feed our family. When we do business with companies or people who don’t hold to the same principles and morals that we do there is a much greater chance that such relationships will be unequally yoked.
I think this is a warning to us to know that if we must work with unbelievers that we should expect to be unequally yoked, and this we should be careful in who we do business with in order to minimize that.
14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:14
