Oath or Curse?

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks!

Most of us make commitments. It is a part of living this life. You decide to do something and then you go about getting it one.  Jesus said that disciples will do this carefully. And they will keep their word.  Some of us take marriage vows.  Some bind themselves under oaths.  But it is all the same:  an agreement to do a thing, or a commitment not to do a thing. It is important that we fulfill our vows... unless they are actually curses!  We will look at a story in Acts 23, where men made an oath that was actually a curse! In this case, the best thing they could do would be to break that thing and change.  Maybe that's what you need to do as well.

- Are we allowed to abandoned our commitments if they are hard?

- Are we allowed to keep a curse if it is actually hurting God and us?

- How can we tell the difference and make wise commitments in this life?
