The Great Gamble


Ever been Gambling?  


Maybe your thinking "No.  I've never been to a casino," or I've never made a bet for money."  Well that's good.  I don't want you to lose money, but the truth is we all make a Great Gamble everyday.

One definition on Dictionary.com says gambling means - to take a chance; venture; risk.  Gambling doesn't just have to do with money.  It has to do with Risk.  Risk with what?  Another definition says to risk something of value for the chance of winning a prize.  For instance something of value would be your life.  

God says your life is valuable and He has an awesome purpose for it.  The world promises the same thing.  Each morning we make a Great Gamble by deciding to follow God or to follow the world.  The reason it's a Gamble is because God says doing things the worlds way will destroy you, but following the His purpose for your life will give you eternal life.

Sounds like a no brainer right?  Well it is, but it's not always easy to make the right choice.  The Bible says sin is fun for a season.  Many people choose sin over God and wind up gambling their life away.  This month we are going to talk about God's purpose for your life and how to win this Great Gamble everyday.
