National Heads-Up Week 5: How Many Outs?

We had a different topic in mind for today's National Heads-Up Poker Championship quarterfinal telecast. But then Andrew Robl said something familiar at the end of his match with David Benyamine - familiar, yet provocative.

"It's in the hands of the poker gods," he said Robl A-10 of hearts (which turned into a winning flush). Uhhhhh -- no.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. - I Chronicles 16:26

If that offends you -- well, we can't really apologize. That statement comes from the Bible, which is inspired by God. The One true God (II Timothy 3:16).

Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. - Deuteronomy 6:4

Yet Jesus came as the Son of God and declared:

I and my Father are one. - John 10:30 (KJV)

Don't simply appeal to generic "poker gods," which aren't really gods at all. Develop a close relationship with the real God and the real Jesus Christ, through prayer and exploring the Bible. That's the only real way out of this life, to a life that never ends.
