Take your Bible and please turn to Exodus chapter 20. We're going through the Ten Commandments in a series I've entitled, "Written in Stone." And today, we want to look at the eighth commandment, "You shall not steal." I've entitled this message, "What's Yours is Mine." That's the idea of stealing, to take from someone else what doesn't belong to you.

Well, this one guy would come through, and he had this wheelbarrow, and he had straw all in the wheelbarrow. And he'd wheel through to the guard shack. And the guard would look at him suspiciously and go through all the straw. And he didn't find anything, and so he'd let the man pass. And this happened day after day. And the guard just felt like, This guy, there's just something rotten in Denmark - this guy is stealing! But every time he comes through, he looks through all the straw and couldn't find anything. Well, after 20 years, the guard retired, and then the man retired from the factory. A few months later, they saw each other at a restaurant, and they started talking. And the guard said to him, "L ...
