“Disguise is central to God's way of dealing with us human beings. Not because God is playing games with us but because the God who is beyond our knowing makes himself known in the disguise of what we can know. The Christian word for this is revelation, and the ultimate revelation came by incarnation. ... God is the master of disguises, in order that we might see.” KnowsWayHumansMightChristianOrderGamesHuman BeingsKnownKnowingSeeingMastersUltimateInvisibleVisibleRevelationsDisguiseIncarnationPlaying Games Author:Richard John Neuhaus
“Avoid trivial pursuits. You are a child of God, destined for glory, and called to do great things in His Name. Do not waste your life on hobbies, sports, and other recreational pursuits. Do not throw away the precious moments of your life on entertainment, movies, and video games. Though some of these things can properly have a 'small place' in the Christian's life, we must be careful not to give undue attention to temporal and fruitless activities. Do not waste your life. Employ the time of your youth in developing the character and skills necessary to be a useful servant of God.” GivingChildrenMomentsCharacterChristianFaithGamesNamesSportsPowerfulAttentionYouthActivitySkillsWasteGloryCarefulEntertainmentPursuitVideoGreat ThingsDevelopingServantBe CarefulHobbiesDestinedChild Of GodServant Of GodPrecious MomentsSmall Places Author:Paul Washer
“I am a patient man--always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance, and also to give ample time for repentance. Still, I must save this government, if possible.

“It is far best for the Christian never to see some things, so he will never want them. The old-fashioned Christian who will not have playing cards in his house will never learn to gamble with them. One who never sees, in movies and night clubs or elsewhere, half-clothed girls, drinking, smoking, gambling, petting, making love to many men, is likely to miss being led into that kind of life by these sirens of sin. It is the Devil's game to make people think it necessary for people to "know the ways of the world.” PeopleThinkingKnowsMenWorldWayWantKindChristianNightGirlGamesHouseSinHalfMissingDevilDrinkingClubsCardsSmokingGamblingElsewhereMaking LoveOld FashionedGambleSirensPlaying CardsNight Club Book:The Ruin of a Christian Source: The Ruin of a Christian

“For Christian faith not to be idle in the world, the work of doctors and garbage collectors, business executives and artists, stay-at-home moms or dads and scientists needs to be inserted into Gods story with the world.
