The Bible's Warning About "Stolen Water" — It's Not What You ThinkAdded:
Stolen water, that sounds like a crime, right? But the Bible actually talks about a woman who sat at her door offering stolen water to strangers saying it tasted sweeter. Proverbs chapter 9 verse 17. She was trying to trick people into thinking shortcuts and bad choices feel better than doing the right thing. Here is the wild part. The Bible says the people who followed her did not even realize they were walking into a trap. It is like a candy wrapper hiding something rotten inside. That verse is from Proverbs 9 verses 13 through 18. Tonight at dinner, ask your family what shortcut almost tricked them once.
