Gambling with One’s Life 1 Timothy 6:10

I. The root of gambling u “Love of money” is the root of gambling. u The love of money is one aspect of the “lust of the flesh (1 John 2:16).” u The word used by John means an inordinate desire for something—goes beyond the normal. u Desire to get more and more is often caused by a lack of faith concerning the future (Matt. 6:25-34).

u Jesus asked, “What does it benefit a man to gain the whole world yet lose his life?” (Mark 8:36) u Rather than gaining more, the one who gambles usually loses what he already has—many times much more.

II. The ravages of gambling— gambling’s love of money leads to evil outcomes. u The word “evil” used by John applies to the ravages of gambling. u Examples of the ravages of gambling are numerous.

u Gambling creates no new wealth. u Gambling depresses legitimate business, siphoning off money from the regular business community. u Gambling increases welfare costs. u Gambling increases crime. u Gambling corrupts government.

u Gambling victimizes the poor. u Gambling is a sophisticated form of legalized stealing (Eph. 4:28). u Gambling produces the wrong attitudes toward work—promotes the idea that a person can live by his wits and luck without making any contribution to society.

u Gambling contradicts social responsibilities. u Gambling revenues violate all the sound theories of taxation. u As a source of state revenue, gambling has a consistent record of failure. u Gambling is socially disintegrating, politically corrupt and morally dangerous.

III. The results of gambling u Wandering from the faith u “Wandering from” means to be led astray. u Two possibilities: a. Led astray by someone else’s influence b. Led astray by the lure of gambling itself

u Wounding of pains u “Pierced themselves” means “to put on a spit” to be roasted over an open fire. u Results from one’s own doing. u They pierce themselves through with many sorrows and griefs.

u They may ruin not only their emotional well-being, but their physical health as well. u They may lose their self respect, good name and standing in the community. u They may lose their family and their intimate fellowship with God. u They may even lose their life.
