Lets jump on the band wagon.

Now I do not have all of the facts, but I just saw a commercial for a casino in Ohio. The website for the group is http://www.myohionow.com/ The underlying theme of the commercial was that everyone else has a casino, so why is Ohio letting tax money and revenue from gambling leave the state? This just reminded me of what my mom used to say when we would tell her that everyone else was doing it. She would always say, “well if all your friends went and jumped off a bridge would you do that too?” Just because everyone else is doing it, does not mean that it is right. Especially as Christians, I believe we should really question things if it is acceptable by society. Now I am not saying this casino is not a good thing for Ohio, but the reason to do it is not because 38 other states have gambling. We need to weigh the options, and see all of the possible outcomes. A casino may bring jobs, but it will also cause issues for some people that do not need the temptation of a casino. Do the pluses out weigh the minuses? We need to weigh the options and seek the guidance of God. We are called to be in, not of. We need to go with God and not with the majority.
