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
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in
us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and
to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1.8-9
