The world series of poker is huge right now and many times we see people lose millions of dollars on this little phrase- “All IN!” No holding back, no stopping, no insurance, unabonded, unbridled, letting it all hang out, no turning back- I’m All In!
Our adrenaline makes our heart beat a bit faster when we hear those words- All In. We get excited, our nerves are on edge, we sit on the edge of our seat- just waiting… I think there is something in all of us that wants to be the guy or girl who is “All In.” We repsect their courage and the fact that they are willing to hold nothing back.
Some people might look at going “all in”, not as courageous but as foolish, and to some extent they are right. You can’t go “all in” and then ask for some back. You can’t go “all in” and say “nevermind.”
So what about in following Christ, are you at the point to say, “I’m all in!” Of course we quickly jump to say, “Yes!” But really?
Are you still holding on to some chips?
Do you still have an insurance pile?
Are you waiting for someone else to go all in first?
Is there part of you that is just not sure if you can really trust Christ with EVERYTHING?
The final three weeks of the semester we are going to finish up with this question- What would my life look like if I held nothing back from Christ? My time….my money…my relationships…my heart…my dreams…my faith….all of it- All In.
Sunday Nights @ 7pm
So we got back from Passion late on Saturday Night/Early sunday morning. I think that everyone who went had a really good time. The worship was powerful, the speaking was honest, passionate and true, the production was top notch….But the challenge last night at collegelife was not to talk about “Passion”. The world is not hungry to hear about a conference, your roommate is not interested in another retreat, your family is not dying to hear about another experience–the world is hungry to hear about CHRIST.
