Many of us slung the dice in high school, enjoying long games of Dungeons and Dragons in the garages or basements of our friends. The game was social, and it allowed us to argue about arcane rules as we pretended to slaughter the bad guys, all while giving us a reason to get together and imbibe various substances.

The Amiga was born a game machine, but it entered a world where the video game industry was well-established and changing rapidly. Long gone were the days where a lone coder would stay up all night in his basement for six weeks and bang out a hit for the Atari 2600.

This is an episode of Chris Rosebrough’s Fighting for the Faith that I was on back in December of last year. While the show has many humorous parts, the problem is a very serious one. When we try to be “culturally relevant” by incorporating what the culture already uses and disposes of on a daily basis, we lose our relevance to the culture. I hope in this edition of Fighting for the Faith, it shows how important it is to exegete Scripture for the benefit of others and not our own life experiences or popular movies.
