I think if St. Paul were reviewing candidates as missionaries to Corinth, his questionaire might look like this:

1. Do you eat meat from a beast that had been offered to an idol?

2. Do you drink wine?

3. Do you attend the Olympics?

...and a several other questions designed to know whether the candidate is seeking his own profit, or the profit of others.

My experience is the opposite of yours. I was saved when I was 20. My background was Roman Catholic. My parents did drink, socially. I did go to the movies, play cards, go to dances, listened to rock, etc. But when I got saved I gave up all of that. My life changed completely. I gave up the things of the world. They thought that I had joined a cult. Many years later they have seen the consistency of my Christian life. I have never strayed from the stand I took those many years ago. "Old things were passed away; all things were become new." God had changed my life completely and forever.
And now for some others to come and say by their lives that the consistent Christian life that you live is all just hypocrisy, has damaged that relationship. If there is no difference now between Christianity and their religion why should they change? The greatest detriment to the church is the moral outsider and the immoral insider. (One might replace the words moral and immoral with the words righteous and worldly).

Biblical principals are not communicated through poker. They are communicate through a separated holy Godly life, that demands a testimony for the Lord Jesus Christ.
