Jesus Lives
One For All & All For One

 

The Vision

Is it possible to combine a love for gaming with an unquenchable passion of serving the LORD? Noticing the name calling, profanity and bad sportsmanship among other things that displeace God in a majority of existing gaming teams, this is an obvious question for most. But we believe it is possible. How you ask? Just like it is possible at a workplace, at school or anywhere else - Keeping Christ at the center of it all, being Christ-like in all we do, walking the talk and living out your faith wherever you go.

 

One For All:

Christ died for all of us:

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! [Romans 5:7-9]


Jesus Lives:

Jesus defeated death:

For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him. [Romans 6:9]


All For One:

And now our mission on earth is clear:

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. [1 Corinthians 10:31]

 

One For All, All For One:
And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. [2 Corinthians 6:15]

 

 

The Mission

Here then, is our mission:

  • To be a competitive Christ-centered gaming team knit together by strong bonds of fellowship.
  • To be a lighthouse of the Gospel and help fulfill the Great Commission by building a community built on principles of discipleship, evangelism and outreach.
  • To help change the world by turning lost gamers into Christ-centered labourers.

 

 

God helps us out!

After writing all this, it felt like I gave the impression that we are to do this all and live righteously in our own strength, in our own power. But no - God sent us the Holy Spirit to help us out during our time here on Earth, and that is exactly what the Spirit does.

I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you. [Jesus, John 16:12-15]

So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. [Galatians 5:16-23]

 

 

The Promises:

God did also give us some promises:

 

This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him. [1 John 5:14-15]

 

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. [Rom 8:28]

 

I[We] can do all things through Him who strengthens me. [Phil 4:13]

 

And last but not least,

 
...If God is for us, who can be against us? [Rom 8:31]
