Envy was once considered one of the seven deadly sins; yet, today, we treat it with casual resignation. We do this at great peril, since this dragon is as deadly as ever. Look around and you see it wreaking havoc on hearts and homes, churches and civilizations. Having seen the beautiful virtues of the wisdom from above in the last sermon, we return to this passage to see the hatefulness of this sin and resolve to put envy to death.

The sermon emphasizes that true unity in marriage requires a shared spiritual foundation rather than mere compatibility of preferences. Using the imagery of skyscrapers and yokes, it argues that believers must not marry unbelievers because their opposing worldviews create an unstable basis for life together. The message distinguishes between foundational doctrines, convictions, and personal preferences to help couples navigate differences while maintaining biblical authority. For those already in mixed-faith marriages, the text advises remaining committed and living out consistent godly conduct as a witness to the unbelieving spouse. Ultimately, lasting marital oneness is achieved only when both partners submit to Christ as their common authority and purpose.

Some homes raise kids under a list of man-made rules — others let anything go. Both are a form of rebellion against God. The dads discuss how fathers can set biblical standards for movies, music, and modesty in the home without sliding into either ditch, and why the motive behind a standard matters as much as the standard itself.
