Summary
Jesus commanded us not to swear at all, but to simply let our yes be yes and our no be no. And yet, Christians still go under oath in the military, in legal courts, and even many of our business dealings/contracts. So what’s the deal? Are we all in sin?

| 0:34.1 | What I want to talk about today is oath keeping, making vows, covenants, |
