       You see, God doesn’t like it when people don’t keep their word, keep their commitment. Now, I certainly don’t want to be legalistic about this. There are things, many things, that we as Christians have freedom in. There are even certain instances were divorce is appropriate. What I am talking about is when our word isn’t kept without valid reason, whether big or small. Perhaps we just aren’t ‘feeling it’ anymore. That’s usually not a valid excuse to break our word with whatever it is. I think, deep down, we know when we are violating our conscience in regard to an oath. We can feel the resistance. When we feel that resistance, we need to be careful. We don’t want others upset with us, even condemning us, and we don’t want God upset with us, even condemning us. It certainly is true that sometimes people will condemn us when we really haven’t done anything wrong. The lower a person is on the levels of consciousness the more they will be focused on themselves.
