The Danger of Having Divided Devotion | Malachi 2

In Malachi Dispute #3 (Malachi 2:10–16), God confronts His people about something deeper than broken marriages — He confronts their divided devotion. The Israelite men were marrying women who worshiped other gods, adopting those idols for themselves, and then casually divorcing their covenant wives. While they continued bringing offerings to the altar, their hearts were divided. And God calls it what it is: treachery. In this episode, we unpack: • What was really happening in Malachi 2 • Why this wasn’t about ethnicity, but about idolatry • What God means when He calls divorce “violence” • How divided devotion still shows up in our lives today This passage isn’t just about ancient Israel — it’s about us. Where are we trying to worship God while still holding onto something else? What competes for first place in our hearts? God is not after part of your heart. He wants wholehearted faithfulness — because He Himself is perfectly faithful.
