All I'd say is...Make your check payable to....
And God Bless him for wanting to give to the Kingdom...no matter where the money came from.

"I'm also against the lottery, but that money would have been great help in advancing the Kingdom of God. It would have been nice if that pastor would have ask the brother to put the money in mission outreaches.

Coincidence?
I applaud the pastor and church for taking a costly stand against gambling. I pray that God will reward them for standing by their convictions. I don't know if I would have been able to resist it.
