Faith,
Do you know Randall Whited’s story? Whited was an accounting associate for the Austin Public Library system in Texas. Over the course of a decade, Whited embezzled more than $1.3 million in printer toner cartridges.
How about David Hamilton’s story? Hamilton worked for the Calgary Transit Authority. Over seven years, he stole nearly $375,000 in change by quietly stuffing loose nickels, dimes, and quarters into his lunch bag—almost $200 a day.
And then there’s the story of (insert your name here)…
“Wait! Pastor Brad, how dare you! I’m no thief!”
I know we want to think that, but none of us bats a thousand when it comes to any of the Ten Commandments. God was very specific with His people in the Eighth Commandment: “You shall not steal.” We’re not to steal office supplies, taxes, time, people, nothing. Why? Because God wants to raise up a family of givers, not robbers.
The Eighth Commandment offers a wonderful invitation. I pray you will join us this Sunday as we grow in our ability to share and give.
By the way, if you haven’t registered online to be a monthly giver at Faith Covenant Church yet, you can grow in giving right now! Click here. 
Remember! We’ll all gain an hour of sleep this weekend, so set your clocks back an hour before you hit the hay Saturday night.
In Christ alone,
Pastor Brad
