Evidence of an Unfaithful Heart (5 of 10)
Series: Going through the Motions

Malachi 2:10-17
Intro/Attention
This is our fifth message in a series on Wednesday nights as we study through the Old Testament prophecy of Malachi. Malachi is the last book in the OT and the last of the prophets. Last, but not least, of course! There are all sorts of truths we need to learn. Here, we see God's people Going Through the Motions. And as we've seen, we have a tendency to do the same thing!
Tonight, we finish chapter 2. We're in Malachi 2:10-17 and we think about this subject, Evidence of an Unfaithful Heart. READ TEXT

And what one word would you use to describe someone like that? Unfaithful. That's right. How could you even call this man a husband? He is completely and totally unfaithful.
Unfaithfulness, or faithlessness is the main theme of this passage; the word ''faithless'' appears five times in 2:10-16. ''Why then are we faithless to one another? Is the searching question that begins the passage. However, this section also makes it clear that being faithless to others entails being faithless to God.
But here, we see God's people consistently being unfaithful. It's one of the things we seem to do well. We are faithful and being unfaithful. You can count on the fact that we just can't be counted on. You can trust that we're really just not trustworthy.
God is faithful to His people, and calls His people to be faithful to Him. But peo ...
