Cheating ( 1 John 5 v 17 )

 I love football, I used to play it when I was young I supported a local team, helped manage a team ,I follow the football on the TV. There are a number of things that one is concerned about  the modern game of football, to win at  all cost.  When a foul is committed the opposing team ,crowd around the referee ,wanting the person who committed the foul to be sent off. Then there is the question of when people are tackled, if there is any contact, they fall and lie on the ground  with there hands in their head, poor we souls, no not poor we souls ,but cheaters. They are behaving dishonestly, and its wrong. It is like getting rich at any cost, getting to the top of the greasy pole, or your own way, come what may, it doesn't matter who you hurt. It is easy to  justify our wrong actions, but it will not wash in God's eyes, be you  a Christian or a none Christian. When David sinned and committed  adultery and murder, he may have thought that was that, after all he was king he had the right to do what he did. Not so ,the thing he did, displeased the Lord, Mohammed had sex with a nine year old child ,do you think that pleased the Lord?, Remember the wrongs we do, are an offence to God, they are sinful, if you not a Christian ,repent, seek   forgiveness by trusting in Jesus. Likewise don't be fooled if you our a Christian, God will not overlook the wrongs that you do, seek forgiveness.
