DANGER: Mobile Phone Gambling May Ruin Your Life!

Proverbs 15:16, “Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.”

Proverbs 16:8, “Better is a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. 

Proverbs 28:6, “Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich.”

Proverbs 28:22, “He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.”

1st Timothy 6:9, “But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.”

Gambling is a sin! It is not sinful to take calculated risks; such as, starting your own business, because it involves honest hard work and labor. But to just gamble with the money God has entrusted to you is wrong. It is a sin! I HATE gambling! I HATE every false way!!! Psalms 119:104, “Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.”

The reason why church pastors no longer preach against sin, is shamefully because they DON'T walk with God. What saith the Scripture? Acts 4:13, “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. When a man walks closely with His dear God and Savior, Jesus, that man WILL be bold to speak THE TRUTH and expose falsehoods, Satanic lies and wickedness!!!

The following disturbing information appeared in Vice magazine, exposing the evils of mobile phone gambling...
“Being able to just sit in bed and go on my phone and gamble made it almost impossible to stop.”

Unlike sports betting, online casino gambling remained illegal in Illinois, and Jason wasn’t sure if the online games he was playing were legal or not. “But there was never any red tape to get past in order to play those games,” he said.

Regardless of the legality, the growing prevalence of gambling in society helped him legitimize his habit to himself. It felt less “seedy,” he said, even if he would gamble until three in the morning while his kids slept “and then wake up and do it again.” By this year, Jason didn’t go a day without gambling.

“I felt like I had to be gambling at all times,” he said.

He would ultimately blow through “a couple hundred thousand dollars” before admitting he had become a problem gambler in May. Still, Jason considers himself “a slightly better case than average.” Since he joined Gamblers Anonymous, he’s heard stories of people losing homes and living out of their car.

In the U.S. this century, gambling has become more wholly legitimized, released from the confines of Atlantic City and Las Vegas and into the broader culture. Gambling advertisements litter the country, and more than 20 states now allow casinos, compared to just nine in 2001. Roughly the same number have legalized online sports betting and more people are pushing for legal online casinos as well.

Politicians say the legalization of gambling provides states with much-needed additional revenue and allows the government to more adequately oversee gambling and responsibly help those who develop issues. These arguments, as well as ones against prohibitionary schemes generally, are difficult to refute in theory; in practice, it’s not yet clear whether state agencies are taking their oversight commitments as seriously as they should.

The omnipresence of gambling and gambling-like activities has made financial catastrophe a few clicks away for anyone with a phone.

Oh my! The Devil is a beautiful liar! Anybody can become addicted to anything. We are living in a very wicked, crooked, unloving and manipulative world, especially in America! I have never seen so many thieves robbing people through legitimate businesses, as today in 2022. I'm talking about crooked car rental agencies, who advertise car rentals for $25, but then when you get there they demand $79 per day! And then if you rent the car for 3 days, but call in on the 4th day because you need the car for just one more day, they'll rip you off by requiring you to pay a “weekly rate. So that fourth day ends up costing you $225! They are rotten legalized THIEVES!!! Greedy people write their rental contracts, using every crooked gimmick to take advantage of you and get your money. It is wickedness! What saith the Scripture? Matthew 7:14, “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.”

I could mention the lawyer profession. I could mention the realtor profession. If you ever read a standard realtor contract, it says that whether the buyer or seller reneges on the deal, the realtor is still legally entitled to fully payment! That is so wrong! So if the buyer decides not to buy, you might up up paying the realtor because of what somebody else did.

Another popular scam is taking someone to small claims court. Let's say that someone cheats you out of $3,000. They just keep your money and refuse to talk to you anymore, when you paid them to rebuild something for you. There's nothing that you can do! I actually had this happen to me years ago. I had bought an S-10 Sho-Bud pedal steel guitar and sent it to a man in Indiana who promised to rebuild it for me, using new parts, for which he charged me $1,300. The guitar cost me $1,500. So from Guam, where I lived, I sent him $1,300 through my PayPal, as he required. I trusted that ungodly man! But he wickedly just kept it all!

So in frustration I called a lawyer in Indiana to take him to small claims court. Thankfully I read the attorney's contract, because it said that even if I win the court case, they couldn't force the man to pay me the money that he stole. The contract also said that I would be legally required to pay ALL court costs, attorney fees and legally incurred debts (which could easily cost $7,000). I sadly realized that the entire legal system is a fraud, designed to screw the consumer! Literally, people can cheat you and steal your hard-earned money, and there is NOTHING that you can legally do about it! Feels great to be an American, huh? Not! I never did get my steel guitar back, nor one cent of the money that thief robbed from me. God will be his Judge (1st Thessalonians 4:6).

My point dear reader is that we live in a very rotten, ungodly, wicked and dishonest culture today in America. The Holy Bible teaches that the whole world has always abounded in wickedness (1st John 5:19). However, Jesus foretold that in the Last Days “perilous times would come (2nd Timothy 3:1-17). Jesus foretold that in the coming Tribulation period, people will woefully lack love for others, because of abounding sin and evil everywhere (Matthew 24:12). We are already seeing this indifferent and woeful lack of love in American society today. Ask Samantha Field, who says she was physically assaulted by a male student at Pensacola Christian College (PCC), and then she was told to repent when she reported it. I believe her!!! I have seen firsthand the abuse of people that goes on at PCC and their horrible Campus Church. Individuals do not matter at PCC!

Case in point, Pastor Jeff Redlin has banned me from returning to Campus Church, because I criticized PCC on social media. Even though I sincerely apologized for offending them, and I humbly offered to remove all my criticisms from social media, they still refuse to let me attend Campus Church in 2022. You see, like with the gambling casinos, money is all that matters to them. They don't care! So I also wrote to PCC leadership in July of 2022, asking them if I could please come back, to be a part of their church family. They cold-heartedly refused, as uncaring people do. There is no love at the PCC camp, just as there is no love in gambling casinos. PCC is just another form of religious gambling casino, where THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS!!!

We are seeing sin everywhere today in the United States, as if it was shot out of a canon! I don't know about you dear friend, but I want to stay close to my Savior! I am going to let God love people through me. These horrible greedy people behind the gambling industry are NOT your friends. They don't care about you, not one bit! They will sue you to get the gambling money that you owe them! THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS!!! No matter what happens, the casinos are not going to lose money!!! You can be assured of that, but you may lose EVERYTHING!!!

The same is true at the cesspool of iniquity called 'Pensacola Christian College' (PCC), no matter what happens, they are not going to lose any money!!! You can be assured of that, but you may lose EVERYTHING!!! If you don't believe me, search the internet for all the horror stories about former students at PCC, who were cruelly expelled for the smallest of offenses (e.g., saluting Confederate Colonel Robert E. Lee in public, expressing your opinion on Twitter, going to a restaurant with the opposite sex, criticizing PCC leadership, et cetera).

The best way not to end up in gambling debt is to avoid their websites completely. If you don't want to become an alcoholic, then don't take the first drink of booze. That is why I have never taken a single drink of booze, and by God's grace I don't plan to. Booze is Liquid Devil. Mobile Gambling is Electronic Devil. RUN from those rotten thieves!!! I have never gambled a day in my life and never will. I have never even bought a state lottery ticket, and I don't ever want to.

Desiring to be rich quickly is evil. Proverbs 28:22, “He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.” 1st Timothy 6:9, “But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.” There are no shortcuts to legitimate wealth that pleases God! Gambling casinos make BILLIONS of dollars, without doing the least amount of work! That is evil. That is ill-gotten gain! The Bible says in Proverbs 28:22, “He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not that poverty shall come upon him.” We were all born with nothing, and we assuredly will die with nothing. But dear child of God, you CAN take with you the souls you've led to Jesus Christ. You CAN send your rewards on ahead of you to eternity, by laboring for Jesus Christ. Why do you think I work day and night on my websites, blogs, Facebook, Twitter and everything else I do for Jesus? You better believe that I want a full reward in eternity. I am laying up treasures beyond the sunset!

Remember, a fool and his money are soon parted. Jesus told us in Matthew 6:19-20 to lay up treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and thieves do not break thru and steal. Matthew 6:19-21, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: or steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
