Texas Holdem Part 5

Let’s look at the term “Community Cards” in the game Texas Holdem.  Now the Community Cards are the communal cards dealt face up in Holdem that all the players can use. It is also called the “Flop”.  Now everybody has been dealt cards in this life.  Some good cards, some bad cards.  But now we get to use the “community cards”.  This is why we haven’t folded yet.  See are bad cards can now turn into good cards. Our good cards can turn into better cards.  But it all depends on what we are going to do with the “community cards.”


If we are in Christ we have all got the same “community cards”.


Eph.1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.
John 10:10  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.

Now everybody has a chance to play with the community cards, if they have not folded.  The community cards are also called the “Flop”.

Webster’s = Flop is to fall down, to fail. To move about in a clumsy noisy way. Slang is to sleep.


What a picture this is of Christians everywhere today.  It takes work to be successful.  God has already given us all the tools we need to win, but the majority of the Body of Christ has flopped, dropped out of the game; they have failed or fallen asleep.


But we are to get up and start doing something.   Rom.13:11-14
Eph.5:14-17  The will of the Lord is you are to stay in the game.  Don’t fold, don’t flop or fall asleep.  You are a winner.  Stay in the game because the stakes are going to be “raised”.
