In Matthew 5:21, Jesus begins a section of the sermon on the mount where He is correcting the misinterpretation of Old Testament Law. The Pharisees were about the outward actions (murder, adultery, divorce, etc) but Jesus said it goes deeper than the exterior. We have to look at the root cause - the heart. Murder starts with anger in the heart. Adultery starts with lust in the heart. Divorce starts with a wrong heart towards marriage. This week we look at empty promises that start with a heart lacking integrity, truthfulness and character. Matthew 5:33-37
