On Sunday, we had our normal class time again. I miss the group! Last Sunday I couldn't be there because I had to attend another course in another church far far away. I heard from eddie that they played battleship. I thought the game sounded quite fun! but it seems like it didn't really appeal to the group.
Anyway, we played this game called 2 truths and a lie. basically, each one of is to tell 2 truths and a lie, and we are to guess which one is the lie. Some people obviously cannot lie. We learnt some interesting new things about each other... like erm, Jeremy doesn't like sports (if I didn't remember wrongly), Carolyn went for detention before (gasp!)... yup, all the deep dark secrets were revealed.. haha
During our lesson, we had a discussion about games. Actually, my style of teaching is very spontaneous. I actually had another lesson planned (well, according to the curriculum, we were suppose to do the introduction of Thessalonians). But, since on my way to the hall, I met Nic and Jon playing some card games... and when I was in the hall, Lon started talking to me about games... I decided that perhaps it is an interesting topic to talk about. Not so much for me to lecture you guys about what's right or wrong because I think you are old enough to figure it out yourself... but it's good for us to examine together as a group, what is the line we should draw regarding games-- be it card games or computer games. Adriel and Sandy is always talking about games being satanic, and games can be easily addicted. But the TRUTH is, do we really buy that? Are we truly convicted that these games are bad for us? I don't know about you, but I'm sure that we cannot be quick to condemn ALL the games out there right?
So is bringing card games to church right? Can we play them outside church but not IN church?
We concluded that being a christian means that we are to be the same in or outside church. It doesn't matter. We carry Jesus in us wherever we go.
We came up with certain guidelines to follow regarding games: -violence (is there too much disturbing scenes and violence and blood shed?) -addiction (do we play for long hours almost every day such that it affects our relationship with other people?)
If any of you disagree, or have additional views about what we discussed on Sunday, please feel free to write on the TAGBOARD!
Now that we have made these stands, as a small group, let's watch out for each other ok? I think it's important that we grow closer together as a small group by supporting one another!
Nic and Ben have SYF coming up. Nat has softball competitions. Do keep them in prayer ok?
