    Can I use video games to preach The Gospel?

    Would God like such a thing?
     
    Please pray to God in agreement to Matthew 18: 19 and 20, thank you and I agree on and accept Matthew 18: 19 and 20.
     
    Yes I asked God in my life before.

    Hi Jason...I am curious, how would you use video games to preach the Gospel? Are you talking about developing your own game?

    I ask because I am a gamer myself, and it sounds like a cool idea.

    If your thinking as using at specific game as a teaching tool, you would have to pray about it.  God gave me a teaching lesson on fear using SpongeBob SquarePants.  So I'm sure that if it was His desire he would give you one about a specific game.  I think that using the game console itself is a great way to invite people over to hangout and then pray that God opens a door to share the Gospel with them.  Of course you would want to play only spiritually appropriate games (nothing taht is going to grieve the Holy Spirit). 
     
    Last night as a matter of fact my mother came over to play Zelda Twilight (yes, I said my mother).  There was this part where Zant (a bad character) was speaking about how he became evil.  He spoke about how he contacted a god.  It was at that point that we paused the game and we talked about the differance between God and gods.  We also talked about things that we could turn into gods and serve like TV, Food and Video Games.  Then we continued on with the game.
     
    So yes I think that you can use video games/systems as a way to spread the gospel.
     
    Just as a side note.  Every time we play Zelda Twilight my son sings a song by Shaun Groves called Twilight:
     
    Like the sky before the dawn
    While the night is holding on
    Sun and moon together in the gray
    So my soul is shared by two
    The worst of me, the best of You
    Saint and sinner mingle in my veins
    And I pray You'll end this twilight

    (chorus)
    Twilight, twilight
    I'm torn inside my soul tonight
    The dawning Day, the dying night
    Oh rid my soul of twilight
    Oh rid my soul of twilight

    Good I love but evil's done
    Good intentions come undone
    Good to know I know the One
    Who saves me from myself and

    (chorus)

    Oh Lord, paint my heart a solid hue
    The shade of You
    Oh Lord, break this dreadful in between
    inside of me
    Oh let it be morning

    (chorus)

    I know the Son is coming up
    Oh, the Son is coming up
    Yes, the Son is coming up
    In me, in me

    GOD can use everything under the sun to teach something.  I thought I read somewhere in the bible; GOD used a donkey to speak.
