About Reviews

Note: When we refer to “Christians” throughout this site, we’re specifically referring to Protestant Christians.

Our Position on Christian Video Gaming

We are aware that Christians hold different convictions on secondary and tertiary matters, including whether Christians should play video games. We believe friendly debates among believers can be edifying (Proverbs 27:17) and God-glorifying. Our conviction is that video gaming is not inherently sinful, but something that can be enjoyed appropriately as part of reasonable Christian liberty.

However, discernment must be employed. Video games cannot sin, but they can contain sinful content (blasphemy, swearing, idolatry, etc.) and can lead Christians toward sin. Most game developers are not Christian and hold biases and agendas that filter into their games, potentially influencing our walk with Christ or the walk of others.

Our Review Methodology

When publishing reviews, our goal is to equip readers with the right information to help them determine whether a game is suitable for their consumption or the consumption of those around them.

When participating in extra-biblical activities, such as media consumption, we ask ourselves:

  1. Does this content honor the Law of Christ (His two Commandments)?
  2. Does it align with setting our minds on things that are just, pure, and pleasing to God? (Philippians 4:8)
  3. Even if not sinful, is it beneficial to participate in? (1 Corinthians 10:23, 1 John 5:21)
  4. Would this activity negatively impact Christian growth or duties? (Ephesians 2:10, 5:15-17, Colossians 3:1-2, James 4:17, 1 Peter 4:2)
  5. Can this activity be done to the glory of God? (1 Corinthians 10:31)
  6. Could promoting this activity become a legitimate stumbling block for weaker Christians? (1 Corinthians 8:9)

Balancing Liberty and Wisdom

Christian liberty is a wonderful gift, but not all things are pleasing to the Lord (Colossians 1:10) or beneficial to our spiritual growth (1 Corinthians 10:23). Video gaming, like many things, has the potential to become a dangerous addiction that steals time from Bible reading, prayer, and local church fellowship (1 Corinthians 6:12).

As a ministry, we must clearly distinguish between Biblical doctrine and our opinion. We walk a fine line in encouraging or discouraging games based on their moral and spiritual content. We pray we never confuse readers, become a stumbling block to fellow believers (Romans 14:13-14, 1 Corinthians 8:9), or negatively impact anyone’s walk with the Lord (Matthew 18:5-7).

Our Theological Framework

Christians are no longer under the Law (the Ten Commandments) but under the Law of Christ (Mark 12:28-31). Christ is the fulfillment of the Law (Romans 10:4, Galatians 3:23-25) and mediator of a new and better covenant (Hebrews 8:6).

Non-Christians remain under the Ten Commandments (Matthew 19:16-17) and guilty of breaking God’s Law (James 2:10). The Ten Commandments serve as a schoolmaster to reveal our offenses against God and point us to Christ as our only hope of escaping eternal punishment (Galatians 3:24-27). As part of our evangelistic efforts, we highlight the Ten Commandments to help reveal lawlessness to non-believing readers and point them to Christ, the only begotten Son of God, whom we must follow to be spared the punishment we deserve (Acts 4:12).

What We Discourage

We seek to discourage games that promote behaviour that could lead believers to sin (Matthew 18:3-6, 1 Thessalonians 5:22) or unbelievers to violate the Ten Commandments (Proverbs 4:14). Our reviews aim to provide clear, honest assessments so you can make informed decisions that honour God and edify your walk with Christ.
