Deu 23:23 That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto the LORD thy God, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
Last October when I came back for furlough I needed to buy a car. I found a car that was owned by a Christian and when he found out I was a missionary he was willing to let it go for a good price. However, when we discussed payment, he was not willing to take a personal check but wanted a certified check. I was thinking;"what I am a missionary, he doesn't trust me?" Then I stared thinking of some the the missionaries I have dealt with and sadly I had to admit that I didn't blame the man.
I can remember my grandfather telling me he was able to get a house loan on a handshake. We have come a long way haven't we, we can't even trust a missionary. What does your word mean today? Can your spouse, kids and coworkers trust your word and be confident that when you make a promise you will keep it?
