"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur
"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper
"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)
"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper
"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper
"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul
"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll
"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther
"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)
"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan
"If the Christian has lost sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way."
- J.I. Packer[/SIZE]

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

... Man, I *AM* old... >_< My faves were always the "classic" board games... Backgammon, Parcheesi, Monopoly and Scrabble... My mom was a stay at home mom, so during summer days, we would spend a lot of time playing together... as whacked out as my mom can be, I cherish those memories of our time together... it was an integral part of my childhood.

Settlers of Catan is really cool. You should check out their website because they have tons of expansions you can purchase. Another game I like to play is called munch kin. Its a card game similar to like a magic/D&D.

Id say my favorite is Monopoly because it takes forever to play. It's what makes the game fun(Well to me anyway.). I just love to put houses and hotels on my set of spaces. And then watch my mom and dad land on them pay me a lot of money!(Sure they may get Park place, but Ive got houses and hotels!)
I also like Scrabble, Checkers, many different card games(Yeah, I fail because I mentioned card games in a board game thread. But seriously, I do like playing card games more. Rummy, Blackjack, Texas Hold em', Golf, I doubt it, Hearts, Spades, Solitare, Uno, Phase Ten, and Skip-Bo.), and The game of Life.

Conquest of the Empire and War of the Ring are probably my favorites. Twilight Imperium maybe if I could ever get around to reading that fat instruction booklet and find THREE people who want to sit through a 5 hour game >.>

My #1 favorite board game--Scrabble. Boy, do I know how to party.
I also love those not-quite board games like Pictionary and Outburst.

I love that game.. SO much. My old group of friends at school (we've since parted ways since I became christian and they don't like religion) always played that, apples to apples, settlers, heroscape etc.
My friend actually made her own version of Munchkin, REALMS style (basically...a LARPing style)

I enjoy:
Clue
The Game of LIFE
Masterpiece
Taboo/Pictionary/related games (if that counts)
...and then there was this game I played at a friend's house once. I forget what it was called, but one player is a robber and the other players are policemen, and the police have to chase the robber down in London. The board is basically a map of London. Quite fun, really.
But I think my favorite board game of all time, just because you actually have to think, and because it makes me feel cool to play it, is chess. I rarely win, but it's still fun.

You can find out things about the past that you never knew. And from what you've learned, you may see some things differently in the present. You're the one that changes. Not the past.

I played a board game back in elementary school that I keep trying to remember the name of... It was a Bible game, where you had a board and games pieces like sorry, and involved learning things like animal husbandry and harvesting wheat... Would there be ANYONE who would know of a game like this??? There were also small round chips that looked like tiny poker chips or pogs or tiddlywinks if any of you guys know what those are... This was in, like 1990... I hate when I cant remember stuff...

I just played Settlers of Catan yesterday with my cousin, and I really like it! Cool game; it's like a strategy game.
