Me:\u00a0 Did you enjoy the game Prodigal?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 It was just a little bit better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Well maybe next round will be better for you.<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 I can only hope.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I was just reading about some other games that are not so fun.<\/p>\n

This is from the book Simple Faith by Charles Swindoll<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some Christians play a lot of indoor games.\u00a0 Among their favorites is one we might call “Lets Label.”\u00a0 Here are some ground rules for starting.\u00a0 Find someone who is different.\u00a0 He or she may look different or sound different or think different.\u00a0 It works real well if the person holds to different opinions and\/or reacts in a different way than the “acceptable manner,”\u00a0 which differs from your religious group.\u00a0 This game is especially effective if someone has a mark on his or her past record that your group considers worth discussing, even if it is over and done with, fully forgiven, and none of your business (which is true over 95 percent of the time).<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When we play this game then nobody wins.\u00a0 Not you and not the other person.\u00a0 Instead God wonders why is children are playing games and not just loving one another.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Micah 7:18<\/p>\n

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance?\u00a0 He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love.<\/p>\n
