fight for the lost

I am a gamer.  

I thoroughly enjoy interacting with virtual worlds born out of the union of dreamers and technology.

Video games today have a lot to say about the human condition much like the film and movie industry.  The following video is no exception.


Now, you may be thinking, "What the violence was that about?"

While I will agree with you that Grunt's actions are less than desirable, let's move beyond the facade of violence and pay close attention to the battle cry.  His battle cry should be the heartbeat of every Christ-follower- a passion to fight darkness, evil, and injustice.  

Grunt has a mission.  Grunt has the passion to see the mission through.  Grunt is willing to die for his mission.  

What about us?  How are we living on mission?  What level of passion do we have to engage in the mission?  All of us have a reason to live but so few of us have a reason to die.  So let me ask, what are we willing to die for?

Fight for the lost.
