Is gambling a sin? What does the Bible say about gambling?

Is gambling a sin? What does the Bible say about gambling?: "Answer: The Bible does not specifically condemn gambling, betting, or the lottery. The Bible does warn us, however, to stay away from the love of money (1 Timothy 6:10; Hebrews 13:5). Scripture also encourages us to stay away from attempts to “get rich quick” (Proverbs 13:11; 23:5; Ecclesiastes 5:10). Gambling most definitely is focused on the love of money and undeniably tempts people with the promise of quick and easy riches."

How to Win the Public on Homosexuality – The Gospel Coalition Blog

How to Win the Public on Homosexuality – The Gospel Coalition Blog: "President Obama's support for same-sex marriage is making headlines but not news. That's probably because he was in favor of same-sex marriage before he was against it and now in favor of it again. Campaigning in 1996 for state senate in Illinois, Obama said in a typed statement, "I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages." Running for statewide and then national office apparently changed his perspective, at least temporarily."

Gay Is Not the New Black – The Gospel Coalition Blog

Gay Is Not the New Black – The Gospel Coalition Blog: "It's hard to deny that homosexual marriage appears to be a foregone conclusion in America. This is a frightening prospect not only for those of us who understand marriage to be a testimony of the relationship between Christ and his bride, the church, but also for all who value the family and its contribution to the well-being of society and human thriving. And while it's difficult to watch a coordinated, well-funded, well-connected propaganda strategy undermine thousands of years of human history, it's especially disconcerting to witness the use of the civil rights struggle as the vehicle for the strategy."

“How should I witness to my coworkers?” | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence

“How should I witness to my coworkers?” | Ray Comfort's Daily Evidence: "When we interact with people on a daily basis, we have many opportunities for sharing our faith. First, be sure you are respectful to your employer and set a good example in your work ethic by working “as to the Lord” (Col. 3:23). When others around you grumble and complain, if you have a calm, forgiving, steadfast spirit, it will make an impression. As you respond in a Christlike way to angry coworkers and stressful circumstances, people will see a difference in your life."

On The Box: Words of Comfort: The Redcoats (part 2)

On The Box: Words of Comfort: The Redcoats (part 2): "The Internet has given instant access to the darkest of sins. Hard core pornography is seconds away from the eyes of any youth who can type in the word “sex.” He can have instant delirious sinful pleasures at the click of a button. But it comes at a price. Those who give themselves to darkness will automatically cower away from and hate the light, and when any human being hardens his God-given conscience, he will find that he can also hate without any sense of guilt"
