A friend pased along a link to Left Behind Games, an organization creating a real-time strategy game of its name-sake. I find it hard to believe that this is the genre of God games that we desire young followers of Christ to dive into and become their world. Our alternative subculture is rooted in the whole Biblical Story, not an obsession w/the End Times timeline. For more on the Biblical Story, note: this is applied to the educational context but more on common grace coming soon.

To continue, we are to provide cultural resources of grace, truth, and love which extend networks of communication (even facilitated by and in the structures of media) toward the end of being part of a People of God which by the grace of God restores and blesses the creation and her inhabitants. May our computer scientists follow this call instead of focusing their time on playing, designing, or creating strategy games such as Left Behind: Eternal Forces . . .

"in the future when the faithful have been gathered up and ascended to Heaven during the Rapture. In the chaos that follows, the Antichrist has taken the reigns of power at the United Nations and is gathering the countries of the world under his banner. But a small resistance, the Tribulation Forces, have formed to oppose Satan's legions.

Along with the gameplay twist of converting secular/neutral units to fight for either good or evil, Left Behind Games promises the most realistic representation of New York City ever seen in a game, and the developer scanned 500 city blocks to render New York in-game."
