"For it was so, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned his heart after other gods; and his heart was not loyal to the LORD his God, as was the heart of his father David."
1 Kings 11:4 (NKJ)
 
God had warned Israel not to mix with other nations, or to intermarry with people of different races. God knew if they did those people would have a direct, and negative, effect on their relationship with Him. Israel worshiped The One True God, but the people of the nations around them worshiped demonic gods. Solomon did not head this advice and took for himself seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines from other nations. And, just as The Lord had warned, these wives who worshiped demonic gods influenced Solomon in a negative way and drew him away from The Lord.
 
God's warning to Israel about mixing with other nations had nothing to do with the color of their skin and everything to do about who they worshiped and adored. God's advice still rings true today, if His children enter into relationships with none Christians, they can expect that eventually their hearts will be pulled away from God. Whether in a business partnership or in a marriage we would be wise to stay equally yoked with fellow believers. To win the world to Christ we undoubtedly have to mix with none believers, so that we may share the Gospel with them. But, there is a distinct difference from ministering to those outside of God's family, and entering into a bond with someone who is not serving Christ. Stay aware of who you are entering into a relationship with and what the purpose of that relationship is. Guard your heart and keep your first Love!
 
"Don't team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can light live with darkness?" 2 Corinthians 6:14 (NLT)
