Reading of the Law of God
You shall not steal. Exodus 20.15
Confession of Sin
Our Father, Your Law speaks to us about our use of property and
wealth. It requires honest dealings. It calls us to be careful in our
attachment to worldly goods. It expects us to labor diligently so that we can
have something to share. We acknowledge that we have sinned, sometimes publicly
in ways that others can see and sometimes privately in the attitudes of our
hearts. Please forgive us our sin and show us how to change. We ask this in
Jesus’ Name. Amen.
Declaration of Pardon
Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he
who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Proverbs 28.13
