One thing is certain, Sunday’s come around with amazing regularity.  By design God ordained 1 day of 7, with regularity, set aside for intentional re-creation, rest and worship.  Its hard to believe that when we embarked on the journey of the Ten Commandments we would so quickly arrive at commandment #8: You shall not steal.  Sunday’s come around with amazing regularity – God’s design.  

Each week we have expanded the scope of each command, exploring the outer rings of influence of each command.  This week is no different.  Stealing has become commonplace in our lives in many ways – some known, others much more subtle.  Today, there is a growing attitude that what belongs to someone else is OK ‘to take’ from them.  This command addresses directly things like greed, envy, and jealousy.  It also champions the seeking of contentment, gratitude, and generosity.  The core of this command’s scope can be summed up in the Golden Rule: Do to others as you would have them do to you. 

As with the other commands, a couple of hot button issues are related to this command.  Lets dive deep into why God gave this command as 1 of the 10 commands of life for our flourishing.

See you Sunday!
