Vows and if we break them

Hi all, I'm back! Some may think that's a bad idea but, sorry, you can't kill weeds!
Anyway, I don't know if it's me or whether everyone has this happen from time to time but I was thinking (and no I have not turned into Richard Prebble) I was thinking that vows can be broken sometimes and a good can result.
Now that's terrible coming from a Presbyterian Minister, I know, but think of the good and honest vows you made at New Year as resolutions or at other times when you wanted to change your life...
Now think how you have broken those vows... no guilt intended, just think how it is possible.
They may not have been as important as vows made to God, but you and I still broke them...
Now what if someone broke a vow to God...Could anything good come of that?
I was getting ready for church this morning and thought, for no particular reason that I can discern...I was not about to preach about vows or keeping promises, yet I thought:
WHAT ABOUT THAT LUTHER EH? HE MADE VOWS OF POVERTY, CHASTITY AND OBEDIENCE, YET HE BROKE THEM AND ENCOURAGED HIS FUTURE WIFE, THE LOVELY KATIE VON BORA TO DO THE SAME!
Did any good come of it?
YES it did, because if he had not broken those vows there would have been no full blown Reformation and we would still all be in bondage to the will of those who want us to live in slavery to them. Spiritual slavery is by far the greatest bondage you can suffer.
Come to think of it, was the Church of that time a legitimate church? It did not allow the freedom we are allowed under the gospel so it makes me wonder if it was the real Church.
The Church was under Arianism at one time and God resist any who would draw us back to that, but surely the Church under the Roman Catholic Church was in just as much of a dark place?
I have been thinking...
Love to you all, Ray
