The Rejection of Lottery Blood Money
Original Air Date: August 17, 2008 AudioLink_2008_0817
Show Category: Compassion
Show Description: Finally someone has done it. I have always said I would, but I have never gotten the chance. A church down in Orange Park, FL has said they will reject a $600,000 tithe check from a man who won $6 million dollars because the church's stance is that the lottery is wrong. While those in the blogosphere seem to think this is a horrendous position to take, I agree. Join the conversation as we look at why the lottery shouldn't even exist and why no one should be taking money from them.
