The Gospel According to the Jets

The Jets are loud and obnoxious.  They make promises.

Yesterday, they kept their promises to their fans.

As we pray, we pour out our hearts to God.  Sometimes we make promises.

In Ecclesiastes 5:5, we read that “It is better not to make a vow than to make one and not fulfill it.”

Don’t make a vow to God in your prayers unless you intend to keep it.
