Financial Ethics: Should Christians Play the Lottery?
“A faithful man will abound with blessings, but whoever hastens to be rich will not go unpunished.” - Proverbs 28:20. Powerball jackpots and scratch-off tickets might seem like a shortcut to financial freedom, but should Christians partake? On Faith & Finance Live, Rob West and Dr. David W. Jones return to our financial ethics series to help us think biblically about the lottery and whether it aligns with a life of faithful stewardship. Then, Rob responds to various financial questions. That’s Faith & Finance Live, where biblical wisdom meets today’s finances—weekdays at 4pm Eastern/3pm Central on Moody Radio.
