1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Welcome to the table! What does the way we speak reveal about the condition of our hearts? In this episode&amp;nbsp;Kimberly and I explore Jesus’ teaching on oaths and promises in Matthew 5:33–37. Jesus calls His followers to a radically simple way of speaking:&amp;nbsp;“Let your yes be yes and your no be no.” We unpack our tendency to exaggerate, make promises, create loopholes, and use carefully chosen words to avoid telling the whole truth. They look at how the Pharisees developed elaborate ways to make oaths while leaving themselves an escape route—and how easily we can fall into our own version of “loophole theology.” The conversation also takes us back to the garden and the roots of deception, reminding us that our struggle with truthfulness is ultimately a heart issue.&amp;nbsp; Scripture references Matthew 5:33–37 Leviticus 5:4–6 Leviticus 19:12 Numbers 30:2 Deuteronomy 23:21 Genesis 28:20–22 Judges 11 Matthew 23:16–22 John 8:44 Keep following the Table Flipper, and leave the table flipping to Jesus.
