INTER-RACIAL MARRIAGES;IS IT BIBLICAL

What if a Chinese person were to marry a Polynesian, or an African with black skin were to marry a Japanese-would these marriages be in accord with biblical principles?

Purpose of marriage

Malachi 2:15 informs us that an important purpose of marriage is to produce godly offspring—progeny that are trained in the ways of the Lord. Jesus (in Matthew 19) and Paul (in Ephesians 5) make it clear that when a man and woman marry, they become one flesh (because they were one flesh historically—Eve was made from Adam). Also, the man and woman must be one spiritually so they can fulfill the command to produce godly offspring.
This is why Paul states in 2 Corinthians 6:14, ‘Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?’
According to the Bible then, which of the following marriages in the picture does God counsel against entering into?

The answer is obvious—number 3. According to the Bible, the priority in marriage is that a Christian should marry only a Christian.

Don't Let That Stop You!!

Work deadlines, errands-it's easy to let our busy schedules get in the way of regular exercise.

First step: Identify your exercise obstacles. Then find ways to deal with them one by one. Sometimes the hardest part is just getting your sneakers on. From there, it's all down-hill (even if you're walking up hill) because the initial motivation will keep you moving. Here are some simple solutions to get you started:

Problem: I don't have time to exercise.
Solution: Who does? We need to make exercise a top priority! Successful exercisers make workouts integral parts of their daily routines. So schedule daily appointments with yourself (write them down in your day planner or your calendar!) and treat them as you would a doctor's appointment or business meeting-you're going to be there, no ifs, ands or buts. Even if you only have time for a walk-around the block-just get out there and do it. Every little bit helps.

Problem: I'd rather spend time with friends.
Solution: Make exercise a social activity. Organize a mixed-doubles tennis match, recruit friends for a hike or long walk, or join a local bicycle club with your buddies. If you make exercise an activity that you actually enjoy, not only will you be more inclined to schedule it into your day, you'll also avoid the temptation to quit early.

Problem: I'm too tired.
Solution: Okay, then just exercise for five minutes. You owe yourself that. Chances are, though, if you make it through five minutes, you'll make it through 10, and before you know it, your whole workout! Those first five minutes are always the hardest, but you'll be amazed at what you can accomplish once you start. You can avoid lethargy by making sure you have plenty of fuel-grab an energy-boosting snack like graham crackers, low-fat yogurt or a banana.

Problem: I'm just not motivated enough.
Solution: Find an exercise buddy. Research shows that having a dedicated partner makes you more likely to stick with an exercise program. You won't skip your power walk or date at the gym if your friend is waiting for you on the corner! Afterward, you'll feel doubly great because you not only had a great workout, but you also overcame procrastination. It takes a little effort, but you can do it!
