Three Strikes

Three strikes is a familiar expression today. It is used in the all-American sport of baseball and also in the sport of bowling. In California, there is a three strikes law that says, if you commit three illegal offences, you go to jail.

In baseball, when you have three strikes, you're out at bat. In bowling, you try hard to get three strikes which will improve your score. So three strikes can be a good or a bad thing, It depends on the circumstances.

What about sin - when you sin, do you have three strikes against you? And who can forgive you when you do sin? In Mark 2:7 we are told that God is the only one who is able to forgive us. When was the last time you sinned? Maybe it is time for you to ask God to forgive you.
