The Eighth Commandment

One of the most important commandments to teach about is the eighth commandment. We live in a covetous culture filled with legalized theft. Therefore, it is very important to teach children about property, and that means other people's property.

One story to give the children is a basic stealing story. A child steals some crayons from school and gets caught by the teacher.

Another story to give the children is a stealing story where the child isn't caught right away. In this case, the story is about how God sees you stealing, and God will judge you. These are God's commandments, not mine, so we are all going to be judged by a God who knows every thing we stole.

That's all for now.
