My minister as part of the sermon today mentioned I Corinthians 10:31. This verse says "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." This verse was a favorite of my elementary school principle when I was young. It also falls in with the first question of the Westminster Shorter Catechism.
Q: "What is the chief end (purpose) of man?"
A: "Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy Him forever."
How do we glorify God in our hobbies? If we are to eat and drink to His glory, surely I am to play Go to His glory. I don't believe this means I should never lose. I think perhaps this might mean:
1) I always play my best as he gives me the ability and experience to play.
2) I don't cheat my opponent.
3) I always treat my opponent with love.
4) I don't keep this passion to myself but seek out the company of others to share the enjoyment of Go and witness through living for Him.
I know that this is an unusual line of questioning for this blog but these are things I've pondered.
