In this thoughtful conversation, Pastor Mike from Focal Point Ministries answers a caller who asks whether gambling is a sin. Pastor Mike explains why the issue isn’t merely about “self-control,” but about the nature of gambling itself—what he calls agreed-upon theft. He contrasts gambling with biblically approved ways of earning money (work, investment, inheritance) and warns about the destructive patterns he’s witnessed in many families. While not placing gambling at the top of the sin list, Pastor Mike gives clear pastoral counsel: Christians should avoid practices rooted in greed, chance, and financial harm.
