Matthew 5:33 "Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 34But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

I try so hard to get that point across to my wife with our kids, let your 'yes' be 'yes' and your 'no' be 'no', she weakens when she hears whining and gives in. Needless to say she doesn't gain respect from them.

I have a hard time with this one also. But I'm working on it and my kids don't like it much.

You'd be surprized. Once they see you stand your ground they may grumble a bit but they love the strength you exhibit. My kids know that when I say something I stick to it so their first course of action is to ask mom. She'll say 'Go ask your dad', then you hear 'MooOOoommm?!" Teamwork, it's all good.

I think of that scripture every time i hear someone asked to swaer in for court. It always bothered when when they used to have to place their hand on a bible and do it. Even now when I see it in old movies I talk to the actors and say "Don't do it! Tell them I will only say yes as this bible has it written. "

James 5:13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

Jude 1:17But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires." 19These are the men who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 20But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. 21Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. 22Be merciful to those who doubt; 23snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
