Church Raffles - Pro or Con?
I was at an Apostolic church a while back that was having a raffle as a small fund raiser. The pastor was promoting the raffle as a form of outreach. (The individual who won the raffle drove over an hour to come back and pick up the prize). Having been taught most of my life that we don't participate in games of chance of any kind, I looked to the scriptures and, of course, found no scripture that said "thou shalt not gamble". I've read various opinions on the matter....pro & con. If anyone is interested in sharing their viewpoint on the subject, please provide scripture references to support it.
