Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s sermon, “Mean What You Say”, based on Matthew 5:33-37.
- Oaths and vows became a way for people to lie.
- If people swore “by God”, then they were answerable to God.
- If people sower “by heaven” or “by Jerusalem”, they could get away with lying.
- Jesus said to mean what you say.
- Jesus said to not swear at all, just simply tell the truth all the time.
- Let your “yes” be a real “yes”, and your “no” be a real “no. Don’t make it conditional.
