The Sunday Times carried an article on "Work on gambling projects? No thanks".
Several firms are turning down IR jobs because gambling goes against their business ethics.
There are also those who have no qualms about doing business in the gambling industry.
I applaud those who stand by the principle that gambling is morally wrong, and are prepared to forsake opportunities of material gains for their belief.
Personally, I have told myself not to seek employment or buy shares in companies associated with gambling or other non ethical business. Otherwise I would be abetting sinful activities knowingly.
I have also told my children not to seek employment in places associated with gambling activities.
If we profess to be Christians and truly believe in a living God, then we should live according to our conscience. The small voice within us will tell us what is right or wrong. Like Daniel in Dan 3:4-18, have faith in doing right and resist doing wrong. Trust God.
Dan 3:16-18: "O King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this.
IF IT BE SO, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the furnace of blazing fire...
BUT EVEN IF He does not, let it be known to you O king, that we are not going to serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up."
