I live in probably one of the poorest counties in the whole country. The avereage income is only about $18,000 a year and of those most of them are on wellfare and of those most of them are either drug addicts or have psych problems.
There is a new community developing in the west end of the county where most of the city employees live. Within this community there has recently been built a NASCAR track which has brought in a lot of retail business which is finally starting to breath life back into the delapidated county. Now, there is an issue on the ballot that would make the building of a casino legal and approve putting slot machines into various businesses. Due to the blight that has prevailed for so long most people are willing to approve just about anything just to bring in money. I am tempted to do the same but I am unsure if it would necessarily be "right or wrong." Any thoughts?

The question for us today is, will we be like the majority of Israel and continue to look in fear at the giants in the land and urge our fellow Christians to be "realistic," or will we be like Joshua and Caleb and faithfully follow our king, trusting to fulfill every one of his promises completely?
