Very insane in my book!

I wonder how many Apostolic churches would have turned down the money? :evilglee

How is that commendable?

The Bible says that the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the righteous (Paraphrased)

He is not for the lottery so he doesn't want their $$. In a sense taking the money when you know where it came from, would be condoning it.

I can see it both ways. I'd probably take the $$ myself.

I say the devil has had that money long enough!

My point is that all churches accept donations from people who are probably living in sin, I"m sure that they don't do a background check on every visitor that comes in and puts money in the offering. I'm sure there are alchoholics, adulterers, drug dealers, etc who contribute every day.

What's the big deal about accepting money from the lottery?

I have a Deposit Slip available from our church! I'd be more than willing to help them out with a place to deposit those funds. That would be a tremendous blessing to our current building fund.
