"You shall not steal"

This
is the Word of the Lord ... It is meant to
change the way that we think, and the way that
we live.
Commentary
by Bob Pardue
The 10 Commandments of
God - The Eighth Commandment
When we think of stealing, we
tend to think of things like shoplifting or bank
robbery. We would NEVER do anything like that!
Right?
It is a fact that most of us
would not steal from a store or even keep the
change if the sales clerk made a mistake in our
favor.
But, what about other forms
of stealing?
Probably one of the biggest
forms of stealing in the US is cheating the
government. No matter how little we fudge on claims
or exemptions, basically we are
stealing.
Whatever form it takes and,
no matter how little the amount, stealing is wrong
and displeases God. He did not say, "Thou shalt not
steal a large amount."
Love in Christ
