Last night I was having a friendly conversation with some good friends regarding the morality or lack there of gambling in various forms. I typically find that the range of opinions regarding this to go from completely immoral to completely moral. People tend to have a fair amount of passion regarding this, and bring out said passion in discussion. Last night was thankfully more low key regarding the passion front, and the typical mindsets appeared in one form or another. Those of you who know me well, know where I land on this, but for those who do not I will not spoil the surprise.

My goal with this post is to engage in the discussion regarding gambling from a moral perspective. The foundation of this discussion is the Bible, just so we are all on the same page. Remember, keep it nice and on topic.

So what do you think? Is it wrong to gamble? Should a Christian gamble or refrain from it? Would you teach your kids to play poker?
