I heard one of Joel's sermon one morning (7/30/2006) when I slept over at friend's. He made me realized one thing about how badly today's world has become.
Now, in medias, stories, novels, the educational elements have be perverted in such a way that, if you did something wrong, it's okay, and especially if you repent, you become a hero!
This kind of teaching is probably coming from the perverted teaching of God's grace.
Joel said: "We don't encourage buying lottery, but if you win, don't forget to tithe(offering). If you tithe, God will forgive you."
Maybe the pope would be glad at hearing this.[@more@]
