sermonette: Gambling: A Question of Motive

Is Gaming a Sin?
Martin G. Collins
Given 05-Oct-02; Tape #578s; 13 minutes

Description: (hide)

Martin Collins focuses on the character flaw that motivates gambling- self- concern and covetous get for self. The motive for gambling destroys the godly way of give. Giving on a one- to- one basis is far more effective than giving to a "worthy cause" that diverts much to administrative costs and largely ignores the supposed recipients of the charity. The "something for nothing" mentality destroys productivity and incrementally destroys character.
