Leviticus 19: 11

"Do not steal. Do not lie. Do not deceive one another."

What happens when we steal?

We rob away other people's hard work and make it our own deal.

Why do we steal?

We break the trust between us and others that is supposed to be a deal.

What happens when we lie?

Our opportunities to influence others will be set aside.

Why do we lie?

We hate ourselves and fail to embrace what is beautiful and kind.

What happens when we live in deception?

We betray God's gifts in ourselves and others according to God's dominion.

Why do we deceive one another?

We somehow believe that we e can get further.

So when we steal, lie and deceive, we have denied God a chance to show Himself.

We only have rubbish left, and we have no place to dwell.
