Yes is Yes

Jesus taught that when you say YES, then let it be YES and when you say NO, let it be NO. (Matthew 5:37)

When we make a commitment to do something, then we need to follow through on our commitment.  Otherwise, we are letting someone down.  I am aware that things come up that make us unable to keep some commitments, and when that happens, it is best to secure someone else to do what you said you would and now can't or at least let someone know that you are unable to make that commitment.  However, if you find yourself doing that often, then you need to take a serious look at what you are committing to and perhaps you should refrain from making those commitments.

In the church, we need everyone to use their gifts in ministry and when someone says they will do something and then don't do it, it makes it hard to be effective in our ministry.   So, let your yes be yes and your no be no!
