Are Promises Like Pie-crusts?

Promises should not be treated like "piecrusts" which can be broken at every whim and wish. Instead, we need enduring commitments to those we love and civic friendship toward our fellow-citizens. We need not only to hold our elected politicians accountable in keeping their promises, but also one another. Ultimately, it is still up to us, as Christians, to show what it means to be a promise keeper in today's society.This article calls Christians to remain faithful to the promises they make. 

Speaking the Truth From Your Heart

Psalm 15 provides a standard for how Christians ought to speak. In this article, the author shows how Christians can be dishonest through flattery, being disingenuous, and avoiding direct personal talk. Speaking the truth begins with knowing the objective truth; namely, Jesus Christ. Knowing Jesus makes us aware that our words are spoken in the presence of God, who judges our hearts.
