Parents, Take Your Promises And Threats Seriously

More Videos

Promises and threats are often words that roll off of our tongues, especially when it comes to others. How much do our words really matter to them and God?

Parents, Take Your Promises And Threats Seriously

If we make a promise or a threat, let’s make sure we carry it out so the children learn that words truly matter.

“Those of us who are Christians, should be exactly the same in reflecting our godliness. We must therefore never make promises in a hurry, never. If your back is against the wall and you need to borrow money and consequently you make a promise that you will pay back by a certain day, make sure you do it. And that is the reason why for those of us who are Christians, we must never make a promise or a threat in the emotions of the moment.”
