NO STEALING
Memory Selection: Let the
thief no longer steal, but rather
let him labor, doing honest work
with his hands, so that he may
be able to give to those in need."
. (Ephesians 4:28)
Lesson Text? Exodus 20:15;
Joshua 7:19-26; Matthew 22:15
22; Mark 11:15-19; Luke 19:1,27.
In examining the last six Com
mandments in order to help Chris
tians discover the : eternal prin
ciples underlying a Christian's re
lationships with his fellow men,
the purpose of our study today is
u i ...... .3 bu... or tu rea.i.i
vVy reoi.-lo steal from others,
from tWr society, and from God,
and to make a strong case for
honesty as one of the fundamental
Christian virtues.
"Thou shalt not steal": is the
eighth Commandment. And it is
broken more often than we care to
admit. We do not always render
unto Caesar . that which is
Caesar's! ' , "
Many well-meaning ' men and
women are victimized into believ
ing that the complexity , of our
current-day life, inflationary prices,
and competition for recognition
made it difficulty, if not impos
sible, to succeed without cheating.
We would like to believe that men
universally prize their integrity.
Upon nothing else ' in life do we
place a higher premium. But steal
ing, in one form or another, goes
on almost contantly. Why? '
First, there is a minority group
in any society which is chronical
ly diseased. the kleptomaniacs.
They are sick, and they cannot
help themselves. Appealing to
their conscience and will is a
waste of breath. Their promises
are made in good faith, but their
resistance to the temptation to
steal is negligible. Others steal
so tey cm guin prealige. How
often has an embezzler used his
ill-gotten funds to build up his re
putation as a philanthropist or a
benefactor T If he is an outgoing
person, he basks in the warmth of
adulation; if he is an introvert, he
simply settles for inner personal
satisfaction. - And the man who
boasts that he can collect a full
eight-hours pay without produc
ing eight hours of honest work, is
very common - and ' not much
nobler! The student who takes
advantage of the honor system
and cheats on an examination Is a
thief, too.
.- Still others steal for the sole pur
pose of accumulating wealth. They
believe that trickery and deceit
are justifiable means of gaining
economic security. How mistaken
they are!
We are all acquainted with these
different kinds of stealing. And
as Christians we are interested
not merely in diagnoses, but also
in remedies. What will make it
possible for those who steal to be
come whole in terms of integrity
and re-acceptance by society 7
Those who steal because they are
mentally diseased the klepto
maniacs will not be helped by
moral preachments. They must

A man's life consisteth not in
the abundance of the things which
he posaesseth. (Luke 12:15).
A parable has been described as
"an earthly story with a heaven
ly meaning." Jesus used many
parables to illustrate His teach
ings.
For instance, He told the para
ble of the rich man who had boun
tiful harvests and decided to build
larger barns to hold them. Thus
he planned to have "goods laid up
for many years" so that he could
take his "ease, eat, drink,' and be
merry:" i
But God said to him, "Thou fool,
this night thy soul shall be re
quired of thee." Jesus concluded
the parable, saying, "So is he that
layeth up treasure for himself,
and is not rich toward God."
What an example of our world
today People spend so much ef
fort and worry accumulating and
increasing material wealth. They
give so little time and attention
to laying up . spiritual treasure,
which eannot be taken away, even
by death. These are the treasures
of love, mercy,, kindness, ' justice
fruits of being faithful follow
ers of Christ, of His way of life.
Prayert Our Father, forgive us
for- striving for earthly, pleasures
and possessions. ' Turn our minds
and hearts to seek spiritual treas
ures which pass not away. Trust
ing Thee to supply our needs, in
Christ's name we offer our pray
er. Amen a-'- i

m., without first obtaining from

be persuaded to submit to medical
and psychiatric treatment ' Un
fortunately, this is sometimes in
effective, and in such cases the
affected persons must be sepera
ted from normal society and plac
ed in confinement, as much for
their own protection as : for the
protection of society. . The Christ
ian fellowship renders a humani
tarian service both to the victim
of this disease and to society when
i t sympathetically encourages
such a person to seek professional
help and when it, by acknowledg
ing the abnormal behavior of the
disease ,: as one of its symptoms,
removes the stigma of harsh
moral accusation from the hapless
victim. ' And to the person who
steals to build up prestige, the
Christian faith asserts that the
principle that must be established
in this person's conscience as well
as in his heart is that God expects
us to live completely within the
framework of all our limitations.
The prestige of honor is more
satisfying than the prestige of
material wealth.
