Honesty is the Best Policy (Johnson)

For the most part, your normal, average person would agree that stealing is out of bounds for anyone, but especially for a Christian. So, if you told your Christian friends that you had broken into your neighbor’s house and taken your neighbor’s possessions, they’d never invite you over again and wonder if you were saved. If you told your Christian friends that you had no problem stealing cars, they’d keep a tight reign on their keys and never let you near their vehicles...and again, wonder if you are saved. But if you told them you leave work an hour and a half early twice a week and yet clock in for the full amount of hours, they wouldn’t think anything of it. If you told them that you cheated on your taxes so that you got a refund instead of paying more tax, they’d wouldn’t blink an eye. But I think you know...for the Christian...stealing big or stealing small...it’s still stealing, and as such, is contrary to God’s will for our lives. We’ll remember today then that “Honesty is the Best Policy” because in fact, honesty is God’s policy!
