All In!

Have you ever watched poker on TV? It’s the latest craze in reality TV, watching a bunch of people sit around a table playing “Texas Holdem”.

One of the coolest things about this game is that at any time you can bet everything you have by calling “All In!” It’s an interesting concept. It means you are so convinced that you have the best hand that you’re willing to put everything on the line.

This is how we should lead our Christian lives. We know the truth, and we have to let everyone around us see that we believe it with all our heart and soul and mind. And part of having the best hand is arming ourselves with the Word.

Knowing the Bible is an important part of Christian life because people will ask you questions, and if you don’t have the answers you’re left “bluffing” your way through a conversation that may end with the other person walking away either more confused, or more convinced they don’t need Christ.

Being “All In” means you know you have the best hand, not just because you’re saved, but because you live your life as a Christ Follower in every way, which includes having a strong testimony ready for when people have questions.

So how about it? Are you All In?

“Father, sometimes I think there isn’t enough brain in my head to hold all of the information I need to answer all the questions. So I ask for your guidance to help me arm myself with what you know I need in order to help someone who needs your Son begin to search for Him. Amen.”
