DO NOT STEAL FROM GOD!
After chasing out people who were taking advantage of God's
people, Jesus quoted God saying “‘MY HOUSE SHALL BE
CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER,’ BUT YOU HAVE MADE
IT A DEN OF THIEVES.” [Mt 21:13 NKJ]{Mk 11:17}{Lk
19:46}. In Jesus’ day they took advantage of people by making a
profit off of people’s desire to give to God. There are people today
that take advantage of people financially by convincing them
giving money will help their healing or will help them have more
money. Some lead people to believe their giving will help them
have eternal life and/or result in prayers for their love ones to have
eternal life. Some promote fund raisers to help in many ways while
profiting off the fund raisers. We need to be careful to not take
money that belongs to God or make money off people’s desire to
give to God. Do you respect God?
