Will the church change it's mind about gambling?

I hope not. I hope the church continues to teach against something that is potentially addictive and has a proven track record of ruining lives and families. The book of Proverbs has several references that indicate that gambling is for fools. Hopefully we are still in the business of encouraging folks to seek wisdom.

One is a game of chance, the key operative being the word 'GAME,' and the other is purchasing a portion of a business, with full faith and credit that those running the business are doing everything within their power to make that business succeed and grow.
