About this sermon
Is gambling a sin or just harmless entertainment? In the United States, you can hardly visit a gas station or grocery store without being offered an opportunity to purchase a lottery ticket or engage in some other form of gambling. Las Vegas, Nevada, is one of the most popular travel destinations in the country, primarily due to legalized gambling. Local and state governments frequently tout legalized gambling as a viable way to increase revenues. Suffice it to say that gambling is a popular pastime. Pentecostals historically have opposed gambling, but the Bible never specifically condemns it. Dr. David K. Bernard reviews gambling's underlying assumptions and compares them with the teachings of Scripture to answer the question of whether gambling is an acceptable activity for Christians.
