rich 1.0 Those longing for “the good old days” will often say that once upon a time, you could make a deal with nothing more than a handshake. Whether or not this was truly the case is debatable, since human history is littered with broken promises and dishonest claims. Such was even the case among the people of God. As Jesus delivered His Sermon on the Mount, He addressed this problem, commanding that dishonest vows be replaced with a simple “yes means yes and no means no” ethic. This study will examine the kind of honesty God has always demanded from humanity and illustrate how such honesty can become a bedrock foundation for one’s life.
