But Christians must ask themselves some serious questions about involvement with lotteries. Lotteries are promoted because of the good their revenues will do for sports or cultural activities, but greed is behind most of the buying of tickets. Everybody wants to win money and quit their jobs. Christians must recognize this as an issue. It's our big selling point.
Christians also have to deal with the question of stewardship.
We must always answer to God for the stewardship of the resources He has placed in our hands. We live in a world in which many go to bed hungry. Spending money on lotteries and gambling isn't compatible with a Christian sense of stewardship. Individual Christians must also face the reality that gambling or buying lotteries can be addictive to themselves or to others. Lotteries are an issue for the church Because gambling has caused so much grief, and because lotteries have become so pervasive in our culture, we as a fellowship of Christians must do more teaching.
