Have you ever stolen anything? You may be shaking your head vigorously, but I will say you are most likely wrong.

Think again.

Have you ever taken a cookie or snack without asking? If you haven't, then you are doing well.

Have you ever taken a toy away from a sibling without asking nicely? If not, so far so good.

Have you ever said you would be somewhere at a certain time, and not appeared? If so, you've stolen time. If not, good.

 There are even other ways we steal: recording copyrighted music, and using someone else's written words without permission.   Which reminds me, I should say that this information came from Dr. Fletcher's teaching a few weeks ago.

Even a "little" thing such as taking a cookie without asking is like stealing money.

However, we can be thankful that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and can give us the ability to do what is right and pleasing to Him.

Finally, I want to share a Bible verse with you:                 

 Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
NKJV
James 4:17

Your Brother in Christ,
