Violent Video Games Trigger Physical Aggression
Do Violent Video Games Trigger Aggression?
Study concluded that “violent video game play is positively associated with aggressive behavior, aggressive cognition, and aggressive affect, as well as negatively associated with empathy for victims of violence and with prosocial behavior.”

Proverbs 23:7 states, “For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” If young people consume a steady diet of violent games and other violent forms of entertainment, they will become more violent.
Entertaining ourselves with the real or imagined suffering of others is in direct opposition to Philippians 4:8, which admonishes us to dwell on those things that are just, pure, lovely and of good report, and Philippians 2:5, which commands that we allow the mind of Christ to dwell in us.
Satan is filled with wrath,the ‘prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience.’
Some of Satan’s greatest tools for spreading his vile wrath are found right in our homes, and that is the influence from television, movies, music, video games and the Internet.
James 4:7 instructs us on how to resist Satan’s influence. “Submit yourselves therefore to God.
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
We resist the devil by clinging to God and His Word, by filling our minds not with violent content from video games, but with the truth of God.
Philippians 2:12 (KJV)
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear
and trembling.
