I love my friends how are you today I'd like to talk to you today about is it ok for a Christian
to play video games so this topic a lot of people maybe they have certain ideas about it maybe they
believe one way or the other way and I actually am a Christian and I want to go over this with
you about is it ok for a Christian to play video games so some of the really popular games right
now are it's pub G okay and another very popular game right now is hold on yeah Richard turn here
we go wait wait wait okay another very popular game right now is can you all see that with that
for tonight okay for tonight so is it okay for a Christian to play video games so I actually
am a father married five amazing children and I used to be more along the lines of like some
video games I wouldn't have wanted my children to play and I have grown closer to God and I have
matured in my faith more and I actually genuinely believe that it is okay for a Christian to play
video games and some some parents might be like well you know if children play video games then
they're gonna be violent they're gonna probably they maybe they'll think they'll go do something
terrible through school or something and my friends a video game is not the reason if your
kid is bad it's not because of the video game okay let's just let's just be real it's not the
video games fault if if if someone's kid is bad okay so um the video game does not make children
bad or adults bad now now in regards to that let me put like a disclaimer on that there are some
video games which aren't good okay I do want to say that like there are some which can actually
help corrupt an adult a child but that may because of the evil like stuff put into the video game but
many many video games are completely fine for children to play and and adults but there may
be some going into like vehicle and weird stuff and they actually may actually corrupt kits yes I
understand that but as a general thing like things like fortnight and pub G like a shooter game and
parents may think that the actual is a shooting game is actually something that corrupts so the
people that think this way it may be more along the lines of the legalistic religion type behavior
and so I just want to kind of go over something here and do you all remember the story of Daniel
in the Bible Daniel got taken away to Babylon a place that was it was a pretty terrible place and
he purposed in his heart that he wasn't going to do bad okay so Daniel was the head of like
the evil people so can you imagine that there is a Christian today and he got placed at the
very head of a bunch of witches and warlocks like what other especially you League religious people
might say anything I'd be like oh my word he there's no way he can be a Christian because
whose eyes on that very hittable but which is in the works well what about Daniel in the Bible I
mean Daniel got entrusted with incredible things in the Bible that many modern-day people have
not been entrusted like with as far as actually getting to like see some of the stuff that he
actually saw like we can read about it yeah in the Bible or whatever but um actually many modern day
Christians may not know some might get to it some some of us might get to experience more than what
Daniel got to experience in the Bible but they we were some of us may many christians may never get
to experience like what daniel got to experience so my friend like if your kid plays fortnight it's
not like I actually streamed for tonight on the Internet my son plays for it not he he streamed
on the Internet fortnight is actually a very like its overall a pretty good game so I want to like
encourage you that um the the church is s'posed to be salt okay I mean just think about this when you
buy salt at the store do you buy salt at the store so when you're eating dinner you can have all your
food over here and then you can pile your salt up like over here in a little pile huddled together
for protection um that's just not how it works like when you have salt what salt does is salt
goes into that like out it spreads out with the food and it flavors the food you understand it
flavors it so some people may believe that they're supposed to be a Christian and go into some cave
or maybe and go like whatever and they may have weird survivalism ideas or maybe they have this
idea of like go off into like some kind of like like huddled together in their church building
for protection against the world because if we do and maybe something about we're near the world and
they're gonna take this to be evil my friend like do you like read like in the Bible like Jesus got
all kinds of criticism because he was around a bunch of sinners it's the sick people who need
a doctor when you're the light of the world when you my friends are the light then what happens
is if you go into a dark place it gets lit up all like the light doesn't have to just try to
stay huddled around all the lights it's like you know like if you're the light when you go in if
you're in the if you go the darkness it'll light up that's just that's like kind of how it works
so um there's actually like many different areas and some of the church may have been not doing
as much for the kingdom of God as they could because they might not have been the light in
the work place maybe at events maybe maybe in the gaming industry maybe in the sports industry many
people may not have been the light but my friends there's nothing wrong with being a light in a dark
place as actually a very biblical thing is to be a light and with if you're the salt of the earth
like it's supposed to flavor and that's what's a huddle up together for protection so I'm like and
it's something else that people in the church and maybe like well it's okay to go to it like
they might know enough to like send someone as a missionary to another country well let me think
about what sin that other country that people are sending a missionary to there's like maybe
idol worship all kinds of like wild like people of other faiths and stuff and then they may go sit in
a Christian in there to try to convert people and bring them to Jesus so like they understand that
to go into the dark place but in America many of them may not go out and have like an influence in
the dark places and so it's my friends like video games I think are many video games are fine now I
do know there's some video games which I believe are actually like evil i I understand what that
but many video games like fortnight come on I mean I think it's a very kid-friendly game like I don't
I don't think they like to show gore and anything like that you know like the whole core stuff it's
it's a pretty cool game it's a way that um if you are you you can actually show Christ's love out
in the thing out to the world out to other people so my friends this may be kind of like a hot topic
for a lot of Christians a lot especially American Christians because they may have this legalistic
view that video games are evil and of the devil like who knows what they like I couldn't grew
up more legalistic and it doesn't my friends it doesn't really work like that you can just look at
this life of Jesus if if Jesus were on earth today he he might be I mean think about the places today
like if Jesus were on earth right now think about where Jesus would be going okay like when he was
here on earth he got all kinds of criticism from the from like the religious people because he's
hanging out with like prostitutes he's hanging out with the sinners and he's hanging out with like
these like sinners and tax collectors whatever so if you can check kind of think about what's like
the evil places of today and think about where Jesus would would go like you know where would
he go if he went to the evil places of today but now if modern day Christians may do some
things I mean be tempted to get like a lot of good criticism so my friends I think and as a Christian
who has been walking with God I can hear God's voice I have been I like to do an hour to three
hours a day with God I have a relationship with God and I think many of many video games are just
fine and if someone's kid has a problem it's very likely and if unless is like a really bad we're
doing it might be but many times there might be another reason why the kid has a problem and it
may not be the video game but what people may do is when something bad happens at a school or if
something bad happens in my back oh it's a video game he's playing let's let's ban video games my
friends there's been Wars and other countries and stuff like way before video games and some people
might be like well what about all that Miley I don't see how that's why would God want all that
violence just terrible well listen do you like have you read the Bible you know David was a
man after God's own heart look at all the stuff that David did like he would go how many wars
or fights was was he in what about like Joshua in the Bible there's like so many people and God may
have like Wars what about liking Moses and all this stuff that happened to like Egypt there's
all kinds of stuff that happens and so just make sure if you're like you know kind of thinking
about video games trying to like line it up like with the Bible but anyways my friends I love you
I'll think about it pray about it but I think for tonight it's a great game I played plugged
you to it's really not that big of a deal and it's not like I've only like played video games in my
life like I've done like all kinds of stuff I've like done real estate investing I've started a
pressure cleaning business bata pressure cleaning business about a window cleaning business but two
giant Oreo cleaning businesses I've done like so many different like things have been construction
work and right now I've been like streaming on gaming on YouTube and I love it and it's like
getting a meet like amazing people getting to show Christ's love to people and it's actually
amazing it's pretty cool and we should be the salt of the earth and flavor the food and got
like so my friends I love you all think about it pray about it and I want to go ahead and like
