Another Great Article on Christians and Gaming

From Think Christian:

In a new article, Think Christian mentions an article that talks about the effectiveness of discipliship in the context of video games. A different type of mobile ministry perhaps, but one that all computer users should be aware of and the manners and customs of this different genre.

"Men of God's members gravitate toward historically themed games. "It's not so much the emphasis on the violence," says Parker. "It's the emphasis on service in WWII, on honor, and on history-it's a common theme that unites people from different countries." When it comes to other games without a historical or service-oriented theme, however, Parker has strong reservations. "When you do start talking about games like WarCraft or EverQuest, the influences in the game have nothing to do with honor, nothing to do with God, and it would be nice to reach the people who play those games, but those same people play other games [as well]. We feel that, since God's in control of this ministry, God will determine where it goes and what we play. God will bring to us who He wants us to talk to or to help.'"
