Gambling has left Vegas and landed in our heartland via Bingo casino's and it's presence is being felt. I need food to approach and convict in wisdoms way. What does God say about this?

Bible said:...11So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own?...
Not really. It's a matter of where our heart is, rather than what's in our pocket. And that is the point I was trying to make. If you squander what you've been given, you won't have a large amount of money. If I told you that I started with ZERO money at the age of 18 (actually a little college debt) but that now I have a net worth of over $500,000 (at the age of 32) how did I get there?Odale said:Verse 13 seems to apply to having large amounts of money in general.
Thanks, but all I do is read a bunch. Read moreOdale said:Durruck, I find it amazing how you can pick out versus like you do, haha. I know I couldn't do that to save my life!
Odale said:After reading the verses I don't if 11 and 12 really provide a sound argument. I suppose if you are really good at statistics and other forms of math, then you could be or even would be trustworthy in handling worldly wealth... counting cards, anyone?
Abba San, your position is very commendable but not very practical. By your very own logic, you should also not eat because people have eating disorders.
Alcoholics, who are by definition still brothers and sisters (let me digress a second and define a brother and sister: Anybody who shares the same father. We all share the same father, some simply haven't acknowledged God as the father)...
