Lotto, Music, TV – What do you think?
This Friday, 2/5/10, we will be concluding our discussion on the theme If Jesus Didn’t Mention It, is It OK? For all those that are interested, you can find the notes we used for this series if you follow the link above. With those, together with the recaps that we post here, you can get the gist of our discussions.
As for Friday, the final topics we will be discussing are Gambling (including lotto), Music, and TV/Film. The basic issue here is what is permissible for Christians. Now, as human beings, as adults, and as Americans, all these things are permissible. So, to clarify, we are referring to what is allowable when trying to live a life that is pleasing to the Lord and honors those examples and guidelines set forth by the Word of God.
With that being said, we would like as many people as possible to post their opinions here regarding these topics. What do you think? As a guide, think about these questions when you post (but you don’t need to be limited to them):
- Should Christians listen to secular music? If so, what kinds? If so, what are YOU listening to?
- What kinds of TV shows and films should Christians stay away from? Why or Why not?
- Is gambling a sin? Does it depend on how much you gamble? Is lotto gambling?
We look forward to hearing different opinions. God bless.

Thats a good question, “should christians listen to secular music?” There are so many reasons I can think to answer no and many other reasons I can think for yes. So you must be thinking, “well it boils down to individual convictions”… yes and no. I’m looking forward to what others have to say. Perhaps I will be enlightened by someone else’s point of view through discussion.
