Pastor Eric addresses the difficult subject of marriage in this lesson on Malachi, focusing on Israel's blatant sin against God of intermarrying women from pagan nations. God saw their attitudes and wanted their obedience from the heart, yet they were desensitized to Him and were only outwardly obedient (of certain Laws) through rote tradition.
