I was out in Las Vegas for the first time a few weeks ago. I was there for business but I couldn't resist taking in some of what made this city famous.Gambling.
Now, I am not a gambler. The most I ever risk is $5.00 once a year when my brothers, friends and my dad play a dealers choice game for a few hours. But this night I was going to throw down some serious cash. This night I was going to be a high roller!!
So I pulled out my green and traded the lady for a stack of chips and bellied up to the Blackjack table.
There it was in front of me……$40.00 in chips!
I told you…..HIGH ROLLER BABY!!!
I actually had more than $40.00 on me, but $40.00 was all that I was willing to lose. So by only gambling with $40.00, what I was saying was that it's not worth it to gamble with $50.00.
I had a limit. There was something I was willing to gamble with and there was something that I wasn't willing to gamble with.
Life and death are the same way for me. Some things in life are worth gambling on for me.
Betting lunch with a friend that the Browns are going to beat the Saints is worth it for me.
Betting that I can beat the train across the tracks is not worth it for me.
Death is not worth gambling on for me.
When it comes to whether or not God exists…..it's just not worth gambling on for me.
Whatever your reasoning might be for not believing in God, is it really worth the risk?
For those of you who read this that don't believe in God, or you're not sure if you believe or not, it is my hope that today you realize that you are a serious gambler……a high roller!
You are placing a bet far larger than any poker table has seen in Vegas.
In Vegas it's just money, but in the casino called "Eternity" it's much more than that.
May today be the day that you seek someone to help with your gambling problem.
I can give you the perfect referral.
His name is Jesus.
