Sadly, stealing is all too common in our society. Whether it’s as egregious as the outrageous millions stolen on governmental levels, or as small as taking office supplies without permission. The 8th Commandment, “You shall not steal,” is about not taking something that doesn’t belong to you, and it involves a lot more than you think.
