The Eighth Commandment - Roderick C Meredith - September 1960

Roderick C Meredith

Modern thievery is at an all-time high - and still rapidly INCREASING. It is permeating nearly every phase of our society. Read God's ANSWER to this growing problem! The F.B.I.'s crime clock indicated a major offense was committed every 20.3 seconds in 1959. Forcible rape led the way last year with an increase of 13 per cent. Robbery and burglary followed closely with increases of 12.7 per cent and 12.6 per cent respectively. The F.B.I. said the increase in crime was five times as great as the population increase! We live in a society that is sick and dying. We have lost the right values! We have cut ourselves off from God. As we have seen in the previous articles in this series on God's Ten Commandments, obedience to God's law in THE WAY to peace, to happiness, and to the abundant life. But with our increasing disobedience to God's living laws, we are suffering the consequences in physical as well as in spiritual ways. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
