Stealing: The Subtle Sin (8 of 10)
Larry Wynn
Exodus 20:15
INTRODUCTION
A. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD ANYTHING STOLEN FROM YOU?
1. Maybe you were burglarized, robbed, or the victim of a business crime involving the taking of money or goods.
2. How did you feel?
B. THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT IS VERY CLEAR WHEN IT COMES TO THIS SUBJECT.
1. Theft of all kinds are included.
2. The Bible deals throughout the Old and the New Testament with this commandment.
C. STEALING IS OFTEN A SUBTLE SIN PEOPLE FEEL THEY CAN COMMIT AND GET BY WITH.

2. ILL. A guy walked into a bank one time and passed a note to a teller. The note said, ''This is a holdup, give me all your cash.'' She hardly looked up and replied, ''Straighten your tie, stupid, they are taking your picture.''
3. God is taking your picture. He knows all you are doing.
4. It is a grave mistake to think we can steal and get by with it.

We really mess up when we think we can sin and get by with it.

2. Robbery. Property is taken off of or in the presence of an individual. Now, murder accompanies robbery at an alarming rate. 3. Shoplifting.
