horses don’t we. So it’s down to the newsagent for a paper and back home to study the form; what are our chances of picking a winner?
Some people stick the old pin in the list of runners whilst others like to study form a bit. Look at the past performance and the recent outings of the horses and take our chance accordingly. After all it would be crazy to just throw your money away wouldn’t you without at least studying the tipster information and so on.
This short article isn’t about the rights or wrongs of gambling but it is about taking calculated risks though. Actually it’s about taking completely uncalculated risks.
If someone stopped and asked you why God should let you into heaven and your answer was something along the lines of “I’ll take my chances when the time comes” you are gambling completely blindly (unless you have read and understand the Bible).
Have you any idea of the requirements the bible outlines for admission to heaven?
Did you know, for instance that being good doesn’t have a great deal to do with it – simply because no matter how good you are you still cannot be good enough in the eyes of God.
There is a lot more to it than that.
Why not study the formbook?
You wouldn’t take a chance with your money on the horses without a little homework so why take a chance with your life after death. It just seems crazy to me.
Go to the bookies on Saturday, come and see us (or me) at church on Sunday. I can help put you straight about the formbook God has provided. Once you understand the basics I guarantee you, odds on, you will like your chances.
See you then.
Bill
