I know a man who literally lost his house, his family, his vehicles, and everything else he owned because of a gambling habit. And he was a professing Christian, who just got caught up in the addiction of it. It's hard for me to even fathom, but then I have never gotten close to it, so I don't know how I'd react.

We won't even do cakewalks (where you have to pay) or raffles or anything like that, because literally those are gambling and we try to stay away from any form of it. Maybe that's legalistic in a sense, but I think you have to draw a line somewhere.

Woo hoo!!! Did I finally make the legalism list?????
