I hear this, everybody's entitled to one mistake.

Says who?

I hope we get more than one.

One mistake is second is more like it.

We could go out into the streets of America and ask this question to everyone on the street.

And if I said to people, are you perfect?

I'd be willing to bet that 99 out of the 100 people that we asked that question, no

what their background is, would say, no, I'm not perfect.

Nobody's perfect. Er are a humanum est. To her is human. But that doesn't seem

to bother us at all. There's not one person in a thousand who will deny that they're not

perfect. That's a double negative. Let me put it the other way. There's not one person in a thousand who will claim to be perfect. Beloved, there's not one person

in a thousand who understands the seriousness of not being perfect. I hear this. Everybody's

entitled to one mistake. Says who? Where did God ever say, you can all have one mistake? One free sin.

One free act of treason against my authority. One free insult to my integrity. He never said that,

did he? But even if he did, how long ago did you

use yours up? Everybody's entitled to one mistake. I hope we get more than one. One

mistake is second, is more like it, Because the standard by which we will be judged ultimately is not a curve,

but it will be the standard of God's perfection.
