Games and Rules
Is a game defined by its rules? I don’t think so, but I think we commonly fall into the trap of behaving as though it is. A game is defined by its activity. I think we play games because there are things we want to do, like run jump throw catch chase problem solve overcome double down, that we just don’t get to do in our daily life. While we could do some of these things on their own, we thrive on purpose, so we arrange a game to make our activity less arbitrary. As we play the game, it becomes clear that some constraints or boundaries will help keep the game alive. Ideally the players see their use and keep to them such that the game thrives.

However, things go awry when the activity ceases to be the focus of the game. With children, this looks like a slow descent into chaos, but with adults this often comes in the form of a focus instead on victory. You can tell this is happening when the rules start to get really detailed, and carefully leveraging rules becomes just as important as the true activity. Sadly, this is the state of most high level competitions, whether they are professional sports or spelling bees. The game loses its joy and just becomes one more means by which the oppressors oppress.

The Bible shows us how this pattern is a transposition of the history of humanity. In the beginning, God gave humanity an activity, to be fruitful and multiply and to work and keep the garden, then he gave a single rule, not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and bad. At root, this is the truly fundamental rule, to choose not to focus on the good and bad of each thing but rather to focus on the activity of God. But humanity, desiring to elevate the self rather than submit to God, began a cycle of oppression that continues today.

Jesus saw this pattern in the treatment the Pharisees gave to the Mosaic law, using it as a way to elevate themselves above their fellow Israelites. But Jesus did not come to abolish this law, which is truly designed for human flourishing, but rather to reclaim its prime directive, to fulfill it by example and to fill us up with His spirit so we might become truly obedient.

Our children are precious. Do they know how special they are to us? Do we tell them?
Psalms 127:3-5 NASB1995
[3] Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. [4] Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one’s youth. [5] How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in the gate.

Proverbs 22:6 NASB1995
[6] Train up a child in the way he should go, Even when he is old he will not depart from it.

Ephesians 6:4 NASB1995
[4] Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Don’t let angry outbursts be the thing that our children remember most about us.

Romans 8:1-2
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.

If you have accepted the gift of faith in Jesus.
If you have chosen to follow Him.
You are no longer condemned.
The world can tell you suck.
The devil can remind you of everything you’ve ever done.
But you are forgiven.

John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Jesus has placed the Holy Spirit in you.
You are no longer under the law, but under grace.
You are no longer a slave to sin.
Your setbacks and your stumbles are part of your sanctification, for God will take that evil and use it for good.

You are free to do good.
You are empowered by the Spirit to do what you could not do in your old flesh.

Rejoice, my brothers. You are free.
You are not fatherless. You will never be abandoned. You will never be condemned.
Jesus took every punishment you deserve so that you are free to be the man He made you to be.

So go live it.

– Word
Inigo Montoya was a tragic character. Not only was his father killed when he was a boy, but his life was consumed with revenge. It dominated his existence.

The Bible tells us the bitterness ensnares us like a weed. His heart and life were being strangled by this weed. The best way to get rid of a weed is to tear it out by the root when it is small. If you wait, it does more damage and is harder to remove.

COT:
‭We all like getting recognized for good achievements. It is nice to be noticed and thanked for our contributions at work as well. How about when we do something nice for someone? Do we like to be recognized? Does that motivate us to do other good deeds? Here is a Biblical example where this is condemned.
Acts 5:1-5 NASB1995‬
[1] But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, [2] and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife’s full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles’ feet. [3] But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land? [4] While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” [5] And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it.
Ananias and his wife Sapphira held back a portion of the money made by selling their land, but they claimed the money they gave was the full price of the land. Our motivation to perform good deeds should be because it is pleasing to God as we show love for one another. It is about helping others and not doing so do be recognized for our good deeds.
