#0002 - Is Gambling A Sin - Life on the Line with Bryan and Brad
Manage episode 411997885 series 1406785
In this episode of Life on the Line, the hosts discuss the topic of gambling and whether it is a sin. They explore various aspects of gambling, including the difference between gambling and investing, the impact of gambling on society, and the theological implications of gambling. They also touch on the disproportionate effects of gambling on lower-income individuals and the potential for addiction and suicide. While there is no specific Bible verse that explicitly prohibits or promotes gambling, the hosts emphasize the importance of examining one's motives and considering the potential negative consequences of gambling. Gambling is often a sin because it is difficult to square stewardship, wisdom, proper motive, and cultural effects with gambling. It preys upon poor people and can lead to addictive behavior. Recreation should be recreative and honor common grace, but gambling is not recreative in the same way. Stewardship of resources and recreation should converge, and we should ask ourselves if our motives and actions align with God's will. Gambling addiction should be addressed through counseling and seeking help, but ultimately, the deeper issue is finding contentment in Christ.
