“When you tell God you’ll do something, do it. He takes no pleasure in foolish chatter. Vow it, and then do it. Far better not to promise in the first place than to vow and not pay up. Don’t let your mouth make a sinner out of you (v. 6).”

“Androclus, a slave, was once sent into the arena to fight a lion. The people were surprised to see the beast fawn upon, instead of attacking, him.

“The soil from which all sin grows is unbelief. We sin because it is our nature to do so, but it’s not as if we always sin unintentionally, like depraved robots without the ability to behave according to reason. We are thoughtful with our rebellion. There is a level of reasoning within us when we decide which golden calf we’ll love on any given day.”
