Top 8 things the Holy Bible can teach video games
Cordova, TN., (March 13, in the year of our Lord 2013)
– We were talking here at Family Friendly Gaming about some
ideas for original news stories. Plenty of websites have ideas
they publish on what video games can learn from other
industries. Things like movies, television, and more. Yet
throughout it all we could not find one of them that pointed to
anything of real importance. Then it was revealed to us – the
Holy Bible. The guide to life has all kinds of helpful
information in it. Please join us on this helpful original news
story on the top eight things the Holy Bible can teach video
games.
5 Discipline is important
These topics are all difficult to deal with, which is why it is
so important the video game industry learn from them. Discipline
is extremely important. There are too many people running around
who were not properly disciplined as children. Their adult
temper tantrums, and all forms of rages need to be dealt with.
Video games can be used to teach the entire culture how
important loving discipline is. They can also show ways to deal
with those who are ruining themselves because they were not
properly disciplined when they were younger. None of us enjoy
discipline at the time, but we improve because of the loving
guidance.
Proverbs 3:11-13
11 My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline,
and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.
Proverbs 12:1
12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
but whoever hates correction is stupid.
Revelation 3:19
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and
repent.
6 It is better to do as God says as opposed to what man
says
Too often there is group think. The herd runs off the cliff to
their own doom and demise. Thinking for yourself is not being
encouraged anymore. Looking to God for knowledge, wisdom, and
understanding is also not being encouraged. Yet it take a
courageous person to look to what God finds important. It takes
a strong person to obey God over man. Video games can show that
following God is more important than the disobedient ideas of
man. I fear God's wrath way more than I fear any anger from mere
humans.
Acts 5:29
29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God
rather than human beings!
7 We are prone to errors - turn to God when we do
We are all going to mess up. We are all going to sin. The
mistakes we make do not define us. How we react afterwards is
what defines us. Do we accept responsibility for our mistakes?
Do we come clean on what we did wrong? Do we repent from our
sins? Do we ask forgiveness from others? Video games could be a
wonderful tool helping human beings face these issues. Video
games can be used to train people to do the right thing. So
after enough practice of doing it in a game we can all be
confident we will do the right thing in the real world. There
are so many examples of people doing the wrong thing in this age
that it is scary. Video games have the opportunity to step up to
the plate and make a positive impact on our culture.
Acts 20:21
21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn
to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.
Acts 26:18
18 to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and
from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive
forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified
by faith in me.’
Hebrews 3:12
12 See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a
sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
8 Sacrifice - Christ sacrificed himself for us
Jesus was very clear in John 15:13 (“Greater love has no one
than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”). He
sacrificed much for us, yet so many refuse to make sacrifices
for Him. He treated us better than we deserved to be treated.
Too often we see examples of selfishness in a wide array of
arenas. We see less examples of selfless sacrifice. Yet it is in
all of us. We all have the ability to put others before
ourselves. We all have the opportunity to help others out.
Family Friendly Gaming strives for this on a daily basis. We
have made waves in our missions field. Video games could send a
tsunami across our entire culture. Video games can show thinking
of others first is the honorable path.
Romans 3:24-26
24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the
redemption that came by Christ Jesus. 25 God presented Christ as
a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to
be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his
righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins
committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his
righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one
who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Hebrews 9:28
28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many;
and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring
salvation to those who are waiting for him.
Philippians 2:5-8
5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset
as Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his
own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
