Texas Holdem Part 3

As we continue on with the series Texas Holdem With Jesus (How To Win At The Game Of Life) we will talk about the term “FOLD”in Texas Holdem and in life you can fold.  Which simply means you are not going to play.  To many times we just accept that these are the cards I was dealt, there is nothing I can do about it.  This is just the way it is.  I am never going to amount to anything.  I just can’t win this game called life.  In life you can just “Fold” and stay right there, or you can decide to “Call”.


Now when you “Call” in Texas Holdem, it is matching a bet amount.  It is really saying I am willing to play this game.  It is saying I believe I can win this game.  We have to understand that in order to win we are going to have to "call" and no matter what kind of cards we are dealt, we are going to win because Jesus is on our side. He has already guaranteed us victory.


Read James 1:6-8   We cannot waver, we have to be rock solid on the fact that no matter what kind of cards we were dealt the game is not over, and there are still some cards to be dealt.


Just like Texas Holdem and in life, I can fold at anytime.  But if I decide to stay in the game, I have a chance to win.  And with Jesus on our side we do win.
