Judges 20-21

The thread in this story that speaks to me is the sacredness of vows. I fear that we use God's grace permissively, against the Apostle Paul's stringent warning (Romans 6:15). Marriage, taxes, business contracts, financial commitments, even our promises of devotion to Jesus are all vows that should not be so easily forsaken. May we as a society recover a collective consciousness that cherishes the sacredness of vows, the blessing of a vow kept and the cursing of one broken.
