Each Christian young person must be governed by the law of Christ and consider the will of Christ in his life. He must decide for himself what to do when he is asked to participate in a gambling game.
Many youth never face the gambling problem.
However, many youth who live in areas of the country where gambling abounds, and whose parents make their entire living from the gambling industry, need to carefully consider this subject. Frankly, gambling has never enjoyed a very good reputation among those who study sociology. True statesmen, patriots, and legislators do not have much good to say for gambling. Statesmen and leaders such as these cannot be brushed aside as unimportant. They were concerned about the orderly moral development of our nation.
