Micah 1:7
Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes, as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used.
Maybe this verse answers the question of whether or not a church should take winnings from the lottery or not. Money no doubt has a spiritual force.
Prov. 15:16 Better a little with the fear of the LORD than great wealth with turmoil.
Prov. 16:8 Better a little with righteousness than much gain with injustice.
Prov. 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!
Prov. 16:19 Better to be lowly in spirit and among the oppressed than to share plunder with the proud.
So it is better to be righteous than rich.
