Key Takeaways:
- Games can be defined as being: 1) Playful, 2) Competitive, and 3) Rule-Governed
- God is the God of both the purposeful and purposeless, and our results-driven culture is at risk of overshadowing the latter with the former
- Healthy competition is constructive (bringing out the best in one another) rather than destructive
- Rules don’t ruin fun, rules protect fun
- Pride and idolatry can distort our view of games, but Christ can redeem our view of games back to its Edenic design
