Several of my football teammates had been seen drinking beer at a party next door to one of the new to town assistant football coaches home, at the start of the football season. The assistant told the head coach about it and the head coach went to the players and asked them about it. They admitted to the incident. Coach could have kicked them off the team, due to the rules of the team, but he did not. He made them apologize to the team before practice one night.

All of us at one point or another in our lives have chosen to break the rules. Either we break Gods laws, human laws, and the laws of nature or even the coach’s rules for the team.

Thankfully, God does not reject us at our first offense of ignoring the laws or the second or third etc. God continually draws us towards him as long as we are still alive on this earth and wants us on the team. But there may be a penalty to have to pay.

The best place for rule breakers is on the team, because those rule breakers are all of us.
