This Sunday

From September 17 through Advent, we turn to Leviticus 19 where we find the second greatest commandment to ‘love your neighbor as yourself,’ honing in on the one-another focused passages. In today’s passage, we see that we are not to steal, lie or deal falsely with people around us AND not to swear falsely by God’s name. This all seems straightforward, right? So, do we practice it? Why is this important to both our character and God’s character? Are you known to be trustworthy, a keeper of your word? Are you a people pleaser, saying ‘yes’ too much and then no fulfilling all your commitments? How can we accept our limitations and retain our word?
