STOP AND THINK – Doing what you said you would do is simply an issue of integrity. (Charles Swindoll, American pastor)
They used to say, “A man’s word is his bond.” That and maybe a shake of hands were all that was necessary for a verbal contract, an agreement between two honest people. Swindoll writes further, “There is no substitute for having the guts to keep your word.” Today’s culture, however, almost demands a carefully worded contract, drafted by lawyers. How sad!
All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (Matthew 5:37)
