What does the way we speak reveal about the condition of our hearts?  In this episode&amp;nbsp;Kimberly and I explore Jesus\u2019 teaching on oaths and promises in Matthew 5:33\u201337. Jesus calls His followers to a radically simple way of speaking:&amp;nbsp;\u201cLet your yes be yes and your no be no.\u201d  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\u2014and how easily we can fall into our own version of \u201cloophole theology.\u201d  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\u201337 Leviticus 5:4\u20136 Leviticus 19:12 Numbers 30:2 Deuteronomy 23:21 Genesis 28:20\u201322 Judges 11 Matthew 23:16\u201322 John 8:44  Keep following the Table Flipper, and leave the table flipping to Jesus.
