Our words have meaning. When we make a commitment we should always do all in our power to follow through. In years past a man's (or woman's) word was their bond. It seems today we have gotten away from this principal.
Let your Yes mean yes, and your No, mean no.
My parents knew this principal very well, especially the no part!
Thank God they showed the wisdom to use it!
Mathew 5
33 “Again, you have heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You shall not swear falsely, but carry out the vows you have made to the Lord.’ 34 But I say to you, Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.36 And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.37 Let your word be ‘Yes, Yes’ or ‘No, No’; anything more than this comes from the evil one.[n]
