Faith. Life. Gaming.
A good Sunday morning to you all!
Something I realized after writing last was that I have failed to pray over JBG as a ministry and have instead been relying on my own gifts and strengths. So, I want to take this Sunday and pray over JBG, it’s future, and discover what God’s will is for having a video game site that shares His light. If you’d join me today in prayer, I’d appreciate it!
When I first started this site back in 2003, I started JBG to fill a perceived need. The lack of a Christian voice, in the gaming media, was deafening to me. Almost 9 years later, that lack of a Christian voice is still deafening. If anything, the gaming media has only grown more perverse…more bold in it’s love of sin and sometimes hatred for Christianity.
Starting out, I had wanted Johnny B Gamer to become a becon of sorts; a light against this growing darkness. This hasn’t happened to the extent I thought it would. I feel like I have failed…
So right now I am trying to figure out what it means to be salt and light online. How to create something that is competitive with the big boys.
You may laugh at me…but I still think the need to provide a safe place online to read about video games exists. I’m just unsure what that looks like and I am tired of being alone in this endeavour. Looking for encouragement…
21 Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished,
but those who are righteous will go free. – Proverbs 11:21 NIV
Everyday life can be so rough. I feel like I see and experience actions firsthand, deeds that go unpunished, all the time. I find comfort knowing that God has got my back.
The opening to Uncharted 2 is simply breathtaking. Our hero awakes to find himself covered in blood, a victim of a terrible train wreck. As you guide Nathan Drake up through a train hanging off a cliff, there are several moments where you wonder if he is going to make it. Now of course he is going to make it because he is the main protagonist of the series…but still! I wish more games started off with such a fantastic opening scene to get things going. I guess though all games can’t be that way, after awhile such a thing would come across as contrived. Anywho, I am really enjoying Uncharted 2. Have a good Saturday everyone!
