Bigger than bingo

Bigger than bingo

I was disappointed to see the layout of the March 4 issue of The Alabama Baptist. The first several pages of the print paper had articles about gambling. Buried deep into the paper was an article about thousands of Haitians choosing to follow Christ. Isn’t this news a front-page story? More important than the gambling issue? Did Christ not give us the Great Commission? I can appreciate that the gambling issue is “here and now” — but I cannot appreciate this issue taking preference over souls coming to the Lord. Besides — can we change one’s behavior before God changes their heart?
