Should a Christian Play Video Games?

Should a Christian Play Video Games?

From Mario Brothers to Minecraft, generations have been immersed and often addicted to video games. But many would argue that video games are a sin. So, should a Christian play video games?

In this week’s newsletter, Pastor Mark addresses one of our reader’s questions, and dives deep into the topic of video games and the how Christians should engage with a culture. The Bible doesn’t speak directly to the issue, so how should Christians think about video games?

At The Trinity Church in Scottsdale, Pastor Mark Driscoll recently taught a Bible study series to the core launch team entitled “1 John: The Father Heart of God.” Recorded in black and white as the church plant was in its infancy, this intimate 13-week Bible study will begin being made available for free on August 1.  Along with the teaching series, we’ll be releasing several additional free resources on August 1 at markdriscoll.wpengine.com to those who sign up for our special new “Leaders List”:

  • 1 John Study Guide – As a companion guide to Pastor Mark’s sermon series, we’ve compiled a 22,000 word study guide with notes, study questions, and group materials.
  • 1 John Research Brief – Many of the partners of Mark Driscoll Ministries are pastors and leaders in need of more in depth teaching resources. To that end, we’ve prepared a 240,000 word research brief through the book of 1 John.

Stay tuned and follow the Mark Driscoll Ministries newsletter for the release of the Bible Study.
