Imagine you are walking through a store and see a toy you have wanted for a long time. Unfortunately, you do not have enough money to buy it.
Later that night, you notice your dad’s wallet lying on the table. Inside is a twenty-dollar bill—more than enough to buy the toy. You think to yourself:
“Dad has a lot of money, he won’t even miss it.”
Discussion Questions
- Is it right to take the money? Why or why not?
- How would you feel if someone stole something that belonged to you?
- Read and discuss: Ephesians 4:28 and Romans 13:9. How do these verses apply to this situation?
