This is a production of World Video Bible School.

Is it a way to fund education or something that helps our community?

Something that you can do just for extra income?

Or is it something with far reaching consequences?

"I have a friend who likes to play the lottery."

And he said, "I was telling him that that's wrong. My friend asked me why."

And he said, "I got to thinking, and I couldn't come up with a single verse

and," he said, "quite frankly, there's not one."

He said, "I've always been told that gambling is wrong, but I can't come up

with a single verse in the Bible that addresses this topic."

Well, you know, it's true. There's no verse in the Bible that says, "Thou shalt not

But it's not the case that the Bible doesn't address gambling.

There are a number of Biblical principles that come into play to answer

and that do, indeed, teach that gambling is wrong.

I want to go over some of these principles

that I think clearly deal with this issue.

Because I've heard arguments at times that I thought were very weak.

gambling is wrong because the Bible teaches that we're to work for our money."

Well, that's true. We are to work for our money, to make a living. But you know

it would also condemn someone giving you a gift.

We help poor people, we help people in need. But,

are they wrong because they accept money from

they didn't work for it? Of course they're not wrong for that.

gambling is wrong because of the risk factor."

Well, gambling is not wrong because of the risk factor. Risk,

When you get in your car and go to work in the morning, you're taking a risk.

Being a Christian is a risk, especially in the first century being a Christian

In the Bible in Matthew, chapter 25, the one talent man was condemned

When a man buys stock in the stock market, that man takes a risk, but that

Risk is not what makes something sinful. And

so, we've got to be very careful about the arguments that we make.

I believe the truth suffers because we make weak arguments.

Alright. Let's begin by giving the definition of gambling.

What are we talking about exactly. There are three basic elements

Number two: there's the wager, something of value, like money, that's

deliberately chanced on a particular outcome. And number three:

of the other gambler or gamblers.  When you have all three of these things

some of the reasons why gambling is wrong, some of the Biblical reasons

First, just ask yourself what is it that  motivates men to gamble?

When I think about the question, "What motivates men to gamble" two things

covetousness. You know, in the Old Testament, under the Law of Moses,

one of the Ten Commandments was "Thou  shalt not covet."

don't long for, don't desire something that belongs to somebody else. Exodus

"You shall not covet your neighbor's house;  you shall not covet your neighbor's wife,

nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything

But, what about his money that's on the table?

How are you going to sit around the table and gamble over a poker game, and not violate

"Take heed and beware of covetousenss,  for one's life does not consist in the

Now, here's a second reason. Reason  number two:

Gambling preys on the weaknesses of others.

You know, Christian principles are just the opposite of this.

Christian principles teach, "... As we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men..."
