“Anyone who seriously wants to be a disciple of Christ should learn blackjack.”
This from one of the leaders of a new and “arguably the largest and most well funded blackjack team,” made up entirely of churchgoing evangelical Christians , several of them pastors: “Blackjack makes people reassess what Christianity is, in a good way . . . and at least we can liberate the money from the clutches of those who would use it for ill purposes.” Whether it’s the lucrative winnings that draws these churchgoing card-counters, a Robinhood redistributionist reading of Acts, or both, will be seen when their documentary, “Holy Rollers,” becomes available.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
