Thou Shalt Not Steal
#saveourchildren? We’ve been doing that for decades@ #pureheartchildrensfund
Praise Report! ? We gave out a record of 1950 Christmas presents to children between the ages of 3 and 12. ?Based on that number we believe we are directly or indirectly ministering to over 7000 souls for the glory of Jesus Christ! ? Merry Christmas and thank you!!
Giving hope to at-risk children in NicaraguaPart 8 of the 10 commandments,
8 th commandment,?thou shalt not steal.
Exodus 20:15 Thou shalt not steal Stealing is such a broad term. ?
Technically, stealing means to take property without permission or legal right.? Any silver tongued devil can completely confuse an innocent person.? I′m not stealing this car, they′ll say, ′I′m just borrowing it for a little while′. Satan is the original silver tongued devil, and the best at it I might add.? You might say to yourself, ′I′ll just borrow this for a little while, and replace it later′.? You′re stealing, and obeying the silver tongued devil.? And, you′ll never return it either. People steal all the time.?
Picking up a 20 dollar bill in the sidewalk is stealing.? It′s not yours.?People steal in a lot of ways that they don′t think is stealing. They cheat on their taxes.? They fudge their travel accounts.? They pad their business expenses. They use company credit cards for personal stuff.? ?Even well meaning pastors steal each other′s congregations and sermons. ?Students steal other people’s words (plagerism). ?Salesmen steal when they lie to a customer.? Spouses steal other spouses. Companies steal ideas. Stealing is always easier than working, but the results aren’t worth it.? There is 0 personal reward for stealing.?There is no long term satisfaction with something stolen either.
There’s a point where the definition of stealing, and repenting of stealing, gets ridiculous though. ?For example, veterans, how many skillcraft pens from the military do we still have in our homes. (The best pen in the world BTW). After reading the 8th commandment, you may feel convicted for all your stolen pens.? Will you now try to return every skillcraft pen in your possession back to your old army post? ? Do you how ridiculous you would look? Stop stealing them if you are still in the service, but let′s leave it at that. However, going back to a restaurant and returning the pen you unintentionally stoled from the poor waitress last night (with a sincere apology and another nice tip) would be a great testimony that you truly believe in God. ? That you truly have repented from your sin.
I always generously tip, much to Winnie’s chagrin. ? I am a happy giver because Jesus set me free from sin, and eternal condemnation. Through Him, love has been shed abroad in my heart. ? Jesus made?me God’s real son as well, not some step son.?Not a grand son, but a true son of the God of Israel, the great I AM. ? How can I NOT be a joyous giver? ?I have hit the jackpot the moment I believed. I tip well but still people make huge mistakes, especially in the markets. ?They give me 200 cords instead of 20 cords (the bills are identical). ? If I notice that, I drive back to the market. ? Fight the crowds. And find the Poor?soul who lost almost a days wage in an innocent mistake. Why? ?For a thank you? Nope, Nicas by culture, don’t say thank you. ?To make a friend? ? Nope, I already have friends. Winnie and God are my Best friends. ?Why do I do it then? ?I do it For my testimony and if I kept the 180 cords extra, I would be stealing. ?I would rather use this as an excuse to go back and to share the love of Christ, which?is a light within me. ?It exasperates Winnie, but she has learned to just suck it up. ? The 180 extra cords is what I call ‘fool’s profit’. ?I don’t want it. ? I live for excuses to shine Jesus’ bright light in me to others.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
The only reason I am here is to win souls for Jesus. ?My only boss is God. ? We are here to save souls not to save money. ?I know how save money. ?The best way would be to stay in the states , not talk to anyone and only eat Bologne sandwiches. ? I am Not interested in saving money. ?My life’s desire is only to serve Jesus and to win souls. ?I only want people to get saved and go?to heaven. ? Takes a lot of money and time to do that. ? Shaves years off of your life probably but completely worth it!
Daniel 12:3?And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
How do you not steal? ?By giving instead. ? All the 10 commandments can be obeyed by Love. If you love God and others, you will want them to be blessed. ?You will want to give them stuff, not make their lives miserable by taking the little they have. ?You will want to show off for God, not disappoint Him. ? The first step in not stealing, like adultery or any other sin, is to guard your heart. ? Don’t lust for it. Don’t covet (another sin breaking the 10 commandments). ? If you plan on winning everyone you know to Christ, you won’t want their stuff. ? You’ll want them to be blessed by you, not cursing you.
2 Cor 9:7 As every man purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly or out of compulsion; for God loveth the cheerful giver. www.PureHeartChildrensFund.org

1. Our 2nd floor is starting the funding phase. (50 k) is what we need. (see last weeks newsletter)
2. We are able to receive a container free of import tax and another container for a vehicle or two.? ?Now we have to buy them, ship them to a church to load (I think I may have one) and fill?them.
3. English class, Daily Bible studies, school and feeding centers are all going well and growing exponentially.
4. Help is on the way for a?fellow American?missionary down here who is really struggling.? We all are because of politics to some degree, but this one in particular is really taking a lot of heat. A lot of faithful laborers are really suffering as a result
5. ?We are also looking to use two containers that will be shipped down here, to use as converted housing for around 10 children with a house mom.? I have already built a few buildings using containers, one is a 3 story radio station.
(A)??I get to bring in 1 container of household goods. Bunk beds, furniture, lawn mower, dishwasher, desks, soccer and baseball?team?uniforms and balls, baseball team equipment, linen, sheets, pillows, linen, mattresses, (no clothes except for new uniforms and sports shoes please), industrial kitchen stuff, electrical dishwasher, water heater (for washing dishes and showers or widowmakers for the american teams), window AC unit, computers, electronics, circuit breakers, above ground pool (for baptisms) school supplies. ?Arts and crafts. Office supplies. ?Tools?Etc. (WE WILL NEED A CHURCH TO PARK THE TRAILER BEING FILLED AND A VOLUNTEER TO OVER SEE THE PACKING)
