LOTTERY MANIA!!!

Lottery mania has seduced and hypnotized our society! A jackpot of over 640 million dollars has dangled in front of dazed people like a carrot before a horse! 

The odds of being the winner would be like choosing one penny out of a line of pennies that stretched end-to-end from Chicago to CA!

I heard it told that more people bought a lottery ticket than  went to church in a whole year!  Whatever happened to the 1st Commandment ("You shall have no other gods before Me.")?  [Exodus 20:3-5]

"Lady Luck" is worshipped by gamblers; "graven images" are worshipped by religious cults; and--the "love of" money is what many sinners and so-called saints (believers) bow their knees to.  Money lines the pockets of the rich and famous--those who have power and celebrity status.  And many of the "have-nots" worship those that "have!"

There's nothing wrong with money--or having money--what's wrong is if we WORSHIP it (love it), make an IDOL of it, or LUST after it!  [I Timothy 6:10-11]  We need to keep 1st things 1st!!!  WHO should be before WHAT!!!  "Seek Him (Christ) 1st, and His righteousness....then all these things shall be added unto you ."  [Matthew 6:33]

There were millions and millions of 'LOSERS who "bought into" the lottery.  And even the winner needs to beware how he or she handles and dispurses the $$$$.  (I've heard that the big winners in lotteries are usually broke within 5 years.)

CHOOSE THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE... GOD OR MAMMON ($$$$)!!!
