Stealing

Is stealing wrong?  Well, yes it is, and it comes in many forms.  One form of stealing is plagiarism (taking someone else's work and passing it off as your own), another form of stealing is robbery (such as taking candy from a gas station, or lifting a magazine from a stand).  The Christian Bible teaches us in Exodus 20:15 that stealing is wrong and that we should not take things that do not belong to us.  If you believe that you have a problem with stealing, then I would encourage you to pray and seek help about it.

Two websites that are geared towards helping children and parents with this issue are listed below:
