HYBELS ON GAMBLING
Bill Hybels conducted an informal survey with his Sunday morning congregants and found that twenty percent of them had participated in some form of gambling within the last six months. His analysis of the motivation of gambling is the hope for a windfall without the submission to the disciplines and rigors of working, budgeting and saving. This is replaced by the hope for easy money and the quick hit. But even worse, at the very root of this desire for riches is a “deep, gnawing dissatisfaction with your current level of provision that God has made for you in your life.” Underlying this desire is “the monster called ‘More’.” Adapted from Christianity Today, November 25, 1991
