Introduction:
“Christmas is the promise, and Easter is the proof.”
Source: UnknownThe Devil’s Broken Promises
In 1939, months before the start of World War II, Germany and Russia signed the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.
This treaty promised that neither nation would attack the other, and it laid out a plan for how they would divide the nations of Eastern Europe between them.
It remained in force for nearly two years, when in 1941, without any warning or provocation, Adolf Hitler sent his tanks across the Russian border in a sneak attack.
Hitler had no interest in keeping his word; the treaty was meant only as a temporary measure until he could do what he wanted.
W.A. Criswell told about an ambitious young man who told his pastor he’d promised God a tithe of his income.
They prayed for God to bless his career.
At that time he was making $40.00 per week and tithing $4.00.
In a few years his income increased, and he was tithing $500.00 per week.
He called on the pastor to see if he could be released from his tithing promise for it was too costly now.
The pastor replied, “I don’t see how you can be released from your promise, but we can ask God to reduce your income to $40.00 a week, then you’d have no problem tithing $4.00.”
Royal Treatment
This exposes just one of countless promises, treaties, pledges, pacts, and even oaths that were made just as quick as they were broken.
And there will always be many more to come until the end of the age, whether intentionally broken or unintentionally—and almost all, if not all, due the depravity and fallibility of our sinful hearts.
Like a lot of married men, I got the “You just don’t appreciate me” speech.
I promised to treat her royally for the remainder of the day.
I took her to lunch at Burger King and Dairy Queen for dessert.
She’s never mentioned it since.
