The Sin of Gambling
Posted on January 2, 2008 at 12:54 am by Andy Sochor
What is Gambling? – the practice in which one wagers his own money/property in hopes to gain another’s money/property
A Question about Risk – risk is not the issue
Potential Problems – stewardship (1 Timothy 6:17-19), addiction (1 Corinthians 6:12)
Main Problem: Covetousness – Romans 1:29; Colossians 3:5
Some Common Defenses:
- Not specifically condemned in Scripture – can still be wrong
- Just entertainment – so what? (Matthew 5:14; Colossians 3:17)
- Money goes to a good cause – the ends don’t justify the means (Romans 3:8)
