And now, the conclusion to this three-part blog series.
God is still working on me, constantly pointing out my sin; not to condemn, but to lovingly correct me and draw me closer to Him. If you ever wonder "How can you call yourself a Christian when you do X, Y, and Z?", there are two possibilities. One, I may be struggling with that particular problem. For example, I still have a prideful habit of ignoring people I don't consider "worth my time". For that, I am truly sorry. I have no excuse for that kind of behavior. The second possibility, though, is that the so-called "Unchristian" behavior may not actually be Unchristian. For example, I don't believe that playing video games is inherently sinful (in most cases. I have some issues with certain games...), nor do I see a problem in making stupid YouTube videos to the glory of God.
For some fellow believers, video games are a temptation to ignore more important things, and therefore they consciously avoid them. For this, I applaud their efforts, and pray for continued success in their efforts. However, until I have such an issue, video games are as sinful to me as books or music; that is, only if there is something sinful about the particular game or if I allow it to interfere with ministering to others.
I've used a lot of Christianese in these posts, which is mostly out of laziness on my behalf. Sorry about that if some of it doesn't quite make sense; I'll be glad to clarify any of it for you if you'd like. Also, I probably could have been a lot clearer... But I have other things on the mind. Like my first plane ride outside the country. Oh, it's already over now, isn't it? Right now I'm probably fast asleep after a hard day of work.
In any case, I have one more scheduled post queued up for this Monday. I'm too tired right now to write one for Wednesday, so that'll have to be a gaping hole in my schedule. Oh well. See you in ~5 days!
