Hi! my name is mike young and I trust in the good Lord that you are doing good and in good spirit and excitement, anticipating the coming of the Lord Jesus. Even so come, Lord Jesus! Revelation 22:20.
listen, but most importantly listen to what the bible says about the subject... Proverbs 13:11 - Wealth [gotten] by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase. 1 Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith.
Gambling is the wagering something of value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the intent of winning something of value at someone else loss. And by participating in such practices, we become as guilty as the person we are gambling against, thus leading him or her astray in their wrong doing, of also participating in a wrongful act.
Simply put..."both parties are guilty and leading each other astray from the Lord. "I personally feel that it is definitely wrong and especially when "you know" where the money is coming from and how it was earned? NO! how it was made through gambling at the expense of someone else lost. And then knowingly place it in the Lord's treasure chest of tithing within the church, which is a "holy treasure" unto the Lord, for the purpose to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, a resource(s) to be used for reaching souls and sending missionaries to reach them with the precious word of God. Yes, my dear friend, that could have been the bread and butter of life to some poor mother and child, brother or sister, etc.
Think about it for a moment! If you have participated in such actions, ask the Lord to forgive you. I trust this has encouraged you and in no way have upset you! may God richly bless you through His abundant mercy and the peace of God be upon your household with salvation and great joy!!! John 3:16
Yes my dear friend it would be my pleasure for you to help spread the gospel truth and thank you for taking the time to reply to my sermon article about gambling.

I've never been a gambler and I'm not sure how to show them that it's not helping their walk to God.
