Youth ministry and Halo 3 (pt. 2) / Church Relevance

 A teenage boys approach… Churched and avid player of Halo

 “As far as blood and violence … if you find these things offensive, then you should not play this game. However, realistically, an accurate movie of the bible would be more graphic than a few hours playing Halo … Besides, Master Cheif is trying to save the Human Race, and is ready to give his life if that is necessary (Who does that remind us of ??)”– Kaleb Havens, age 16.

haha…interesting.  The cross of Christ was indeed violent.

Here’s a little statistic churchrelevance.com has written about that I have found interesting. I’m not one for statistics, but I do like truth quite a lot…and so i think it’s worth puting on my blog.
