The Power of Promise Keeping

by Foothills Church on March 17, 2019

Do you know someone who is unfailingly truthful? Someone who will give the truth even if it makes them look bad? Now, think of someone else who you can’t really trust to be truthful.

Which would you want as a confidant? Which would you want as a co-worker?

Read James 5:12. Here, James tells us that failure to keep an oath brings judgment. What is James’ solution, in your own words?

Read Hosea 4:2. This sounds like the suspects in an episode of “Cops”. Why do you suppose false swearing is so often linked with criminality and gross sin?
