Words of the week

 
In the city of Philadelphia there are contentions not to prosecute if stolen merchandise is less
than $500.00. It’s said that such are summary offenses; whatever that means.
 
The word of the Lord teaches that when law and order isn’t enforced, evildoers are encouraged
to commit crimes. Eccl 8.11.  Because of what is going on; don’t expect shop lifting to go
down anytime soon in Philadelphia. 
 
As far as the word of God is concern, it teaches for man not to steal.  No amount is specified,
it just teaches not to take what isn’t yours.   It could be $30.00 $100.00 or $5.00.  Don’t steal.
