GOD – what the Bible says about risk taking and money making and
getting something for nothing. Your minister might write you a feature
along the lines of: What the Bible says about Gambling
YOU - or, you could invite your readers to respond to some simple
questions that you could put to them.
For example:
• Do you believe all gambling is wrong?
• Have you ever done the lottery?
• How you do feel about the idea of super casinos dotted about
the country? (okay, concern)
• What do you think might be the result? (kids gambling; more
addicts; no problem)
• Have you ever personally been to Las Vegas?/would you like
to go? (yes, loved it; no, never)
If you then rang up to, say, 20 people, and asked them to respond
anonymously, you would get a simple ‘opinion poll’. You could then
publish your results along the lines of : “Research among members of
this church reveals that half of us think gambling is wrong, and the other
half is saving up for a trip to Las Vegas!”
