Acey-deucey is a poker game I played in my youth. Every player was given two cards by the dealer that were placed faceup. There was a pot of money in the center of the table and every player could bet what he wanted against the pot. If you had an ace in front of you and a three the chance that the dealer would turn up a card between these two was pretty good. If that happened, you won the bet. You won whatever bet you placed against the pot or if you bet high enough, even the pot itself. However, if an ace, duce or three was turned up, you lost the bet and had to pay the pot.
Gambling was a lot of fun and exciting, but losing was depressing. However, for the thrill, we kept returning to the game week after week.
Do you know there are individuals who never touched cards, but yet gamble every day? They gamble that God will accept them the way they are. They gamble that because they are better than most people God will accept them. These people are in for a shock when the game of life is over.
Titus 3:5
not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit,
The sad part of all of this is it’s your last game.
Give it some thought.
