You ever found yourself saying "I swear" once in a while? Well, buddy, the Word of God has something tonsay about that. Remember Jesus' Sermon on the Mountain? Well, He Himself was telling the Israelites how they heard it being said to them not to commit perjury, but to keep their oaths to God. What did He say about that? He said we shouldn't swear at all and by anything. This is the best way to avoid breaking oaths - not making them in the first place. For by whatever and whomever we swear, they are our witnesses if we break our oath. Our answers should be "Yes, yes" or "No, no", otherwise we fall into hypocrisy (James 5:12), and we know that such temptations come from nobody else but the evil one (Matthew 5:37). Let us therefore not make an oath we will regret later and watch our mouths. You'll thank Jesus later for this lesson. God bless you in the Name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour! Amen.
