Please Don't Be Guilty Of The Sin Of Stealing

Psalms 37:21, “The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.” Ephesians 4:28, “Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

There is nothing worth than a thief! The Bible teaches in our text passage from Psalms 37:21 that the wicked person borrows money but doesn't repay it. As hard as it is to believe, there are shady in this world who will max out their credit card intentionally, knowing that bankruptcy is coming. That is the sin of stealing. I have been searching daily for housing to rent on Craigslist. It frustrates me that many of the advertisements are scams. A popular scam that I see is where the scammer posts a legitimate looking ad on Craigslist. But when I contact them about the rental, they ask me to first go to a link to a website that they provide, which wants me to pay $39.95 to do a credit check. That is a commonly known fraud on Craigslist. Those wicked scammers are trying to steal your money! There is no rental available.

In sharp contrast to the wicked person who borrows and refuses to repay, the Bible says a righteous person labours honestly so they can generously give to help others in need. I love that! God knows that I am a generous man. I love to give. In fact, I need to be careful because I will give away all my money! I have done it on multiple occasions at church. When I heard a missionary from Africa preach at church several years ago, God stirred my heart and I emptied out my pant's pocket, shirt pocket and wallet of money to give him (over $400). To God be the glory! 

Contrary to popular preaching from the church pulpit, there is nothing commanded in the New Testament about tithing 10%. If you have been taught that you are robbing God if you don't tithe 10%, you have been deceived dear friend. I have heard Baptist preachers pressure their congregation to give above and beyond 10%, teaching that the first 10% is your tithe, but then you ought to give a gift also. What saith the Scripture? 1st Corinthians 16:2, “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.The Bible says to give as we are able, according to how much God has prospered us financially.

In the United States right now times are tough. Millions of Americans are unemployed. I am convinced that the COVID-19 pandemic has been a big media fraud from the very beginning, exaggerating the death toll, counting all manner of deaths as COVID-19 deaths that weren't! I think this whole pandemic is a False Flag terror attack. That's the M.O. (Method of Operation) of the Luciferian New World Order gang: Crisis, reaction, solution! They create the crisis, then use the anticipated public reaction of panic and fear (helped along by the lying newsmedia), and then introduce their fascist NWO solution (lockdowns, interstate checkpoints, forced vaccines, cashless society, mask mandates, et cetera). Only time will tell what the NWO gang have up their sleeves and where this scamdemic is leading the world! 

The Bible teaches to give what you can. 2nd Corinthians 9:7, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.I attended a revival recently, which blessed my heart. The church is trying to pay down their new building, which I read about in some church literature. I read a great statement: “Our guiding principle on giving is—not equal gifts, but equal sacrifice.” I like that. I might not be able to give as much as you, or you me, but we can all sacrifice.

Jesus said that the elderly widow who tithed two mites (just pennies on a dollar) gave all she had. The Lord said the Pharisees who gave much more than she did, just gave a small portion of their total wealth, not even a sacrifice. But she gave everything she had!!! So in the matter of tithing, God knows how much we are sacrificing. No one should tithe who is in debt!!! God doesn't want or need your money dear friend when you owe your neighbours money. It is a form of stealing when you default on your payments due.

One of my favorite sermons by Pastor Jack Hyles is called: “Hasty Fruit.” Everything in life that is good for us we pay for first and then enjoy it, but the things that are bad we enjoy first and pay for it later! Millions of young women in the United States have bought into the Devil's lie of premarital sex. That is the quickest way to ruin your life young girls. I have seen young woman after young woman sell her virtue on the alter of teenage puppy love, thinking that she would hook some handsome guy by giving him what he wants (premarital sex). The Holy Bible calls it the sin of fornication, which brings God's judgment (Colossians 3:5-7; Hebrews 13:4).

I knew a young Christian woman who attended Bible college. She backslid and quit college. She sinfully began to work as a cocktail waitress in a bar where celebrities and sport's athletes hung out. She fell in love with a married hockey player and commit adultery with this older male (he's not a real man), thinking that he would leave his wife for her, but it didn't happen. Instead, the young woman had a nervous breakdown when the guy dumped her after having his fling. That young girls many years later died of a drug overdose. Oh how the Devil is a beautiful liar! Sin always fascinates and then it assassinates! Sin always thrills and then it kills. The Devil always shows young people the bright neon lights of Sin City Las Vegas, but he doesn't show them the hospitals, morgues, prisons, graveyards, rehab houses and mental institutions. Jesus said that the Devil comes only to kill, steal and destroy (John 10:10).

Dear friend, don't be a thief! I don't like greedy people and I never have. Greed is in the same ballpark of stealing, taking advantage of people. I am leery with our greedy American culture today. When I was younger, restaurants only charged gratuity for groups of 6 or more patrons. But today eateries charge everyone gratuity just for walking in the door! That is stinking greed and I hate it! I avoid restaurants who are greedy by forcing individual customers to pay 10% or more gratuity. I like small Mom and Pop places where you give a tip only if you want. I have read that in Japan restaurants never expect customers to leave a tip. Amen and amen!

Tragically, our U.S. government has been complicity to private banking families stealing from Americans since 1913 when the treasonous Federal Reserve Act was shadily passed. There is no more of a blatant evil fraud than the criminal Federal Reserve System in the United States. That is why Americans have to slave at a job for 30 years to pay for a home! That is why women have been unjustly forced into the workplace, many forfeiting motherhood on the sinister altar of pursuing a career. The Bible says those career women are TURNED ASIDE AFTER SATAN (1st Timothy 5:14-15). It is never God's will for a young Christian lady to pursue a secular career at the expense of delaying motherhood.

In 2004 some hoodlums stole my car in Chicago during the darkness of the night. I came out the next morning to drive with my family to church on Sunday, but our car was stolen. The police found it a couple weeks later smashed beyond repair into a telephone pole in an alley. I went down to the city pound to find our car. I walked for miles through muddy and oil dirt, in a sea of 100,000 cars. After about 20 minutes I found it and wept. The lot attendant said: “It's just a car.” I kindly replied through tears: “You don't understand, a lot of living went on in that car. I took my family to church every Sunday in that car. I drove my family to the zoo and the Wisconsin State Fair in that car. When my mother had a crippling stroke in 1989, I drove her to the hospital in that car. It's not 'Just a car' to me, it is a part of our life.” You better believe that I wept and I wept a long time. I'm still crying 17 years later...lol. I just thank God times 10,000 that someone stole from me and I didn't steal from them. I would infinitely rather have someone hurt me, than me hurt them. I can live with being victimized, but I couldn't live with knowing that I had victimized another innocent person. You cannot trust a thief!!!

When someone steals from another human being, it is NEVER a victimless crime, you are taking the life of that person. Proverbs 1:19, “So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.” The Bible is not saying that you are murdering them; but rather, you are robbing their life! They spent time earning their money. So when you greedily take advantage of other people, you are taking away some of their life that they spent earning that money. Any business man will tell you: Time is money and money is time!” When you give God your time, it is just the same as money. So if you cannot give God much money, then you can donate your precious time to serve in a local New Testament church. You can spend time going soulwinning for Jesus, sharing the Gospel.

I'm sure someone reading this blog right now is thinking: “I thank God that I am not a thief. I would never steal from anybody. I am an honest person!” Are you really dear reader? Please read what the Bible says in John 10:1 and 9, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. ...I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.My youngest daughter many years ago (at about age 12) drew this wonderful picture depicting John 10:1-9...


A Picture My Daughter Drew At Age 12 Depicting John 10:1-9

It rejoices my heart as a father to see THE TRUTH understood by my precious children. “Out of the mouth of babes” (Psalms 8:2). She clearly has a firm grasp on God's simple plan of salvation. Deuteronomy 6:7b, “teach them diligently. Dear friend, the Savior Himself in John 10:1 said that you are stealing if you attempt to get into Heaven “SOME OTHER WAY.” I have made many fellow Baptists upset with my preaching, because I faithfully expose Dr. Steve Pettit and Bob Jones University (BJU) as a cult today for preaching another gospel of Calvinism (aka, “Lordship salvation). God's curse is upon BJU today (Galatians 1:6-9).

According to Steve Pettit you cannot merely accept Christ and know 100% certain that you are saved. In addition Dr. Pettit teaches that you must start, run and faithfully finish the race (living the Christian life) of else you won't go to Heaven. Pettit actually refers to running the race spoken of in the Bible as earning an award. Pettit thinks we merit the award of going to Heaven by being faithful to persevere to run the race. Folks, if you don't see that this is damnable heresy, and that BJU today is a dangerous religious cult, then you too need to get saved!!! Dear reader, getting born-again is NOT an award, it is a free gift paid for by Jesus' precious blood. Calvinism is NOT the Gospel, not even close!!! Sadly, what Steve Pettit is preaching perfectly aligns with the demonic cult of Seventh-Day Adventism (SDA). Right doctrine matters!!! STEVE PETTIT IS A THIEF AND A ROBBER!!! I didn't say that, Jesus did in John 10:1. 

The worst form of theft that exists is stealing the power to save from the dear Savior!!! Romans 4:5, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.Amen! Let's read the next two verses in Romans 4:6-7, “Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.Ungodly false teachers have crept in unawares into our Bibles colleges and consequently (since the religious colleges supply the churches with leaders), the churches. Please don't steal from Jesus dear reader!!!

The entrance into Heaven is wide open! JESUS IS THE DOOR!!! Steve Pettit and Bob Jones University are wickedly trying to tear a hole through the roof to get in with their behavior modification (aka, turn from your sins to be saved). BJU are wickedly trying to scale the walls of Heaven with grappling hooks of surrendering your will to serve God. Dr. Pettit requires that you surrender your will to Christ as “Lord to get to Heaven. That is NOT what the inspired King James Bible teaches. Romans 4:6, “Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,God credits (imputes) HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS to us without works. Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:

Dear friend, all you need to do to get to Heaven is cease from your own human efforts (works), and REST in Jesus (Hebrews 4:10-11). Steve Pettit, Marty Herron, Gary Walton, Harvest Baptist Church of Guam, Sam Horn, John MacArthur and other BJU infidels are not wholly resting in Jesus' name; but rather, they ALL wickedly and foolishly pervert the Gospel of free grace by adding the additional requirements that you must surrender your will to live for God, persevere to live a sanctified life and turn away from a lifestyle of sin, or else go to Hell forever. THE UNGODLY BJU CAMP ARE THIEVES AND ROBBERS!!! Don't you become a partaker of their evil deeds like Pensacola Christian College (PCC) does, by hobnobbing with them into intercollegiate sports, budding with them, never exposing their damnable heresies, hiring each other graduates, and going along to get along with infidels (2nd John 1:11). Not my friend, I am going to cry aloud and spare not against the corrupt Bob Jones crowd today. The Bible commands in Titus 1:10-13 to REBUKE THEM SHARPLY that they might be sound in the faith. Tragically, the BJU crowd aren't listening and are subverted of themselves.

Stealing is a horrible sin, whether it be stealing from your parent's wallet, shoplifting, cheating on your taxes, taking someone else's wife or husband in adultery who does not belong to you, or perverting the Gospel and stealing from Jesus Christ what He did through Calvary's cross to pay for your sins. 

The Bible calls anyone who attempts to enter into Heaven “SOME OTHER WAY,” than through the door, a THIEF AND A ROBBER!!! It is the same here on earth. During the daytime, during normal business hours, you can freely walk into that business. But if you try to break in when the business is closed, you will be arrested, convicted and punished for stealing. There is only one approved way into Heaven, which is through faith in Jesus Christ. John 14:6, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.What further saith the Scripture? ...

Acts 4:10-12, “Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

If I pay with my own money for something and then freely offer it to you as a gift, and then someone else comes along (like Steve Pettit) and says that you must do something to receive my gift to you, then you have stolen from me. Jesus paid everyone's debt of sin with His precious blood. That is why God can freely offer forgiveness of sins and eternal life to WHOSOEVER WILL. Revelation 22:17, “And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

Don't be a thief dear friend. Don't be a liar! Proverbs 28:1, “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.I decided many years ago that I wanted to live my life in such a way, that I could be as BOLD AS A LION!!! The law exists for the unruly and those who break the law, not for the righteous who keep it. ...

1st Timothy 1:7-9, “Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm. But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

Mark Twain rightly said: “If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.” Yes Sir! That is very true. If you don't lie, then you won't need to change your story later. I enjoy being on the right side of right!!! The Proverbs tell us that wicked people live in fear and flee, even when no man pursueth. That is because they know they're doing wrong and fear the day of reckoning. I thank God that I preach the true Gospel. Marty Herron, Gary Walton, Chuck Phelps and Steve Pettit should be terrified and shaking in their boots because of the counterfeit damnable plan of salvation that they preach. As I have just shown you from the Word of God, salvation is WITHOUT WORKS!!! You simply trust on the name of Jesus, believing that He died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and physically resurrected three days later, and you are eternal forgiven and saved by God (1st Corinthians 15:1-4).
