Free online to play just like CS you don't have to pay but in the long run you do pay in many different ways.
It would seem free yet I really don't think it is.
Remember we are Christians and these games are of the world not to mention worldly.
I think its okay to kick back and relax and enjoy playing a game but I know in my heart our time really is not free.
Jesus Christ paid the price for our FREEdom so that what we do with the time we have should not be wasted with playing worldy video games all the time.
I don't mean to be telling you what you should be doing with your spare time and please I'm not meaning to lay a guilt trip on anyone.
I only know this from expierence with video games that I would change from playing a game if I was playing it constantly and even I would lay there in my bed and figure out a strategy to defeat the enemy or beating the game or just getting to the next level. In my mind say I would be in a semi sleep state I was still paying the game.I realized that one can become obsessed with a game. My mind was not being renewed by the word of God because my thoughts were on the game instead.
I don't know exactly why I'm saying this but in the gut of my heart I am hearing something wrong about video games and even for one to say as an excuse to play with other Christians as group fellowship/witness just does not cut it anymore. I feel as though we are trapped in a self deception and we just go merrily along like dumb sheep.
I guess I'm just sayin all this because I love you guys and I like to say to you all please becareful don't get caught up in these video games.
In my heart I really believe that something is not right here.
