Top Highlights

“The biblical command is that the believer should obtain money by faithful and diligent exercise of God-given talents in work. Gambling is an attempt to obtain money that promotes sloth and is often an excuse for not working.” (Page 39)

“Gambling promotes covetousness and greed, whereas the Word of God encourages contentment (Phil. 4:11–12; Heb. 13:5)” (Page 39)

“The English word ‘ethics’ comes from the Greek etheos which means ‘that which relates to character.’” (Pages 73–74)

“Yes, but casting of lots ‘is a biblical illustration not of gambling (for no money or other value was placed at risk in hopes of greater gain) but of individuals trusting a sovereign God to direct the ‘chance’ disposition or direction of the lay of the lots. People used ‘chance’ to understand God’s will. Their faith was not in chance but in God’ (Rogers, 21–22).” (Page 40)

“by lightning than to win a million dollars in a state lottery, why do people continue to buy tickets? Greed!” (Page 39)
