Thou shalt not steal
A boy was asked, "If your
father bought a .F suit of clothes
for $30.00 and paid 50 cents a
week, how much would he qwe
at the end of the year?" The boy
•
promptly answered, "Thirty
dollars." "Why, how is that?
You certainly don't know your
tables." "Qh, yes, I do, but I
know my father too."
God who, puts first things
• first asks us to do the same: Too
frequently man's laws give first
place toproperty:- lands,
houses, goods, possessions and
the bank book. But God always
puts personality before.
• property. The 8th
Commandment .is the, only one
in the Decalogue which refers to
property, Of the 300 words in
the Ten Commandments only
four words = "Thou shalt not
steal" refer to earthly
• possessions.
z. Of the Ten Commandments,
nine are interested in. WHAT WE
ARE and WHAT WE DO WITH
OURSELVES. Only one of the
ten laws has to do with that
which we have and hold. -
The 4., Model Prayer of our
Saviour has one petition for
temporal matters. .
"Give us this day our daily
bread." Readers, these `basic
facts shout that God puts LIFE
before property, and PERSONS '
before possessions. The
Master -Teacher always
underscored this fundamental
truth: ,See Matt. 6:19-34; Luke
12:15
Nevertheless property is
rightfully important. God,-
Himself, is the rightful Owner of
all things, Man is only the
trustee and is aceountable to the
Giver of every good and perfect
gift. As trustee, man has
• GOD-GIVEN rights to property; ii acquisition, its. possession and
njoyment, its distribution.
One may acquire property by
gift, by thrift or theft. Gift and
thrift honour "Property Rights."
But theft in any of its manifest
forms, violates such rights:
"THOU SHALT NOT STEAL." -
WILL A•MA.N ROB HIMSELF ?
Folk may rob themselves of
y precious possessions God"
wants them to have; the new and •
eternal life,' forgiveness of sins,
the new song, the new name the,
new home; but 'why not have all
that's coming to you through a
personal acceptance of Jesus
Christ as your Lord and Saviour?
y Folk may rob themselves of
the true meaning of life; of the

enriching experiences in life, by
the disuse or misuse of property
values.. There is a tombstone
inscription in 'New England,
written by a father to his son, -it
reads: "My son; that which I
bequeath unto you, ., you must
earn anew, if you would possess
it,"
We are ordained to work, for
our money and to make our
money work for us. "j can't
make out our new neighbours,"
Mrs. Green told her husband,
"they have no car, no TV, and
she " has no jewelry or -furs."
"Perhaps," her husband
observed, "the poor pedple• have
nothing but money."
Tolstoy wrote a story of a
farmer who always , wanted a
little more land. He finally went
to the ' frontier where the
peasants of a remote race
offered him ally^the land he could
walk around in a day; but he had
to be back at the starting point,
at sunset.' He was tempted to
,take in so much territory that as
he finished the long run, he fell
dead at his goal. Then six feet of
earth was all he needed. ;
"Money is a,wonderful thing,
but it 'is possible to pay too high
a price for it." (Alexander
Bloch). G.A. Studdert-Kennedy.
says that the . real meaning ,of
money was brought home to
him when he saw a girl dying of
tuberculosis while she lived "in
one of those abominable pigsties
which Ado.. duty for house for
some, people." The girl could get
well, but only on one condition:
somebody had to find money
enough to transport. her to a
decent place where she 'cou'ld
have fresh air, professional care
and good food. Studdert-
Kennedy went and got the
money and their he knew, he -
said, what money is. (Dr: Elton
Trueblood).
WILL A MAN
ROB HIS FELLOWS ?
One may rob others in terms
of material possessions, of time,
of honest work, of ,genuine
goods, of adequate returns, of a
good name, of influence, of
compassion, of opportunity.
Taxation may also rob folk of
their rights.
Bill drove his load of hay to
the scales and then, instead of
getting off the platform, he slyly
stood on the platform out :of
sight of weigher, he thought.
His weight added 21 cents to the
price he got for the hay. But as
he drove off, the weigher called
after him, "Bill, you sold
yourself for 21 cents this
morning!"
"Time is money." How oft
thoughtlessly we steal time from
other. If my belated , arrival by
ten minutes only holds up the
business of a group of six
persons, I have robbed . others of
one hour of time.
WILL A MAN ROB GOD?
Nothing is so serious and
sinful as to rob God of that
which is His due. Wherein do we
rob Goo? Of ourselves, our love,'
our praise, our service, our
talents, ..our possessions, of His
Day. See Matt, 22:2,1. Your
treasure in a safety deposit box
at the bank can 'be controlled
only by two keys — your own
and the. one in the hands of a
bank official. The one
complements the .other. The
treasure -house of God's wisdom,
Truth, Grace and Power can be
unlocked in similiar fashion
(Malachi 83:10). Why seek. to. get
on without God when His help is
ready for our asking. James
1...5-8. WITH God all things .are
possible. '
