Coming soon: Left Behind – the video game (?)

After the book and video series. Can the game be far behind? I thought it was just a gag when I saw the review on TV.

Lifebridgers, what do you think. Is this taking it too far?

Here’s the description in one of the gaming sites:

Based on the renown series of Christian-faith novels about the aftermath of the Rapture and the lives left behind in the ensuing turmoil after those who are saved by their faith in God are gone. Left Behind: Eternal Forces will put players in command of the apocalyptic battles raging in the streets of New York City between the angelic Tribulation Forces and the demonic Global Community Peacekeepers during the End of Days. Gamers will participate in events from the Left Behind book series in single player mode and battle to capture territory from other players in the multi-player online game mode.

Excellence Replaces Competition by Howard Butt, Jr.

From a talk called “Competition and Servant Leadership” delivered on July 30, 1999, at the Laity Lodge Leadership Retreat in Leakey, Texas

Excellence comes from the Father. “Be therefore perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect” (Matt 5:48). We will never be perfect. But as we strain toward higher and higher standards, we can do excellent work.I learned years ago in the grocery business that the replacement for competitiveness in Christian life is excellence. Instead of trying to beat down the competition, I try to be the very best that I can be. I believe that is the way to fullness and satisfaction in organizational life—to allow excellence to replace our competitiveness.

Ask yourself, In what ways do I struggle with competitiveness in my workplace? How can I replace my competitiveness with excellence?
