A friend revealed to me recently, that although she was a primary school teacher she too had been caught up in gambling.
It seemed to her that a trip to the bingo offered a night out to enjoy herself with her friends but unfortunately as time passed those feelings passed by and the thoughts of gambling started to consume her, She had also started playing on the machines as well as playing bingo within a relatively short period of time she had amassed debts of £7000.
You see gambling does not affect just those who want to try and get themselves out of poverty but it can affect anyone at anytime irrespective of their status.
She received the Love and support from a Christian couple at church who reminded her that
Romans 8:1
“So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus”
