Ever since I was about seven years old I've had a talent for computers. I built them, repaired them, kept up with the latest technologies and I loved to play video games. Then video games became online and I got this really stupid idea that I could bring people to Christ through video games. This idea succeeded to a point. I've brought a few people to Christ and I've made lots of online friends. But my real life social I've has been nonexistant. In fact I mostly talk to my wife, parents, sister ...etc online. I only really see them in person for major holidays. Sure my wife and I have meals together, we watch TV and cuddle together, we sleep together, we wake up together but our days are mostly spent in front of our computer screens or in front of a TV screen.
Tbch? I just could see doing nothing else for Christ. Video games and technology are the only talents God has really given to me and Peter did say use your talents to serve Christ. I mean, I have seen progress in my life I have seen the Holy Spirit work on me for several years but? I don't think I will ever give up computers and video games. I'm good at them, I'm very talented and I'm very enthusiastic about technology. But... I just can't help but worry im displeasing Christ with the way I've chosen to serve him. A choice I didn't come up with, a choice that brings lots of joy to my life in a joyless world. I just... don't know. I know what most people here are going to say, stay the hell away from technology. But should I remind you that you're using technology to post to me? So... technology can't be THAT evil. I think more of what John meant was to not be a part of the world. Like for example be homosexual, abort your baby, fall for the transgendered crowd...this world is going to hell on a high basket and I'm definitely not a part of this worlds values. I'm just really smart in one aspect of the world. I didn't choose my smarts they were given to me. I just picked up a computer one day and started fiddling around with it. I... fail to see how Satan designed my entire life and my entire talents. *shrug* could fool me though. Maybe God is angry at me *shrug*
