“I Was Only Borrowing It!”: The Eighth Commandment

Exodus 20:15  (ID: 0524)

While most cultures consider stealing wrong, many people struggle to articulate why. The Bible, too, clearly commands wise stewardship and condemns blatant theft. In this message on the eighth commandment, however, Alistair Begg identifies subtler, more indirect forms of fraud that we often struggle to avoid. Thankfully, though, there is hope: like the despised tax-collector Zacchaeus, when we encounter Jesus, we find that repentance and restitution are possible through Him.


15“You shall not steal.
