God encourages you to experience great joy in following Jesus
God
has given humans freedom and permission to play--to fully enjoy life's
moments as he intended, with no ulterior motive. The Christian life
without play becomes malformed, and believers can miss aspects of the
abundant life Jesus came to give.
In A Theology of Play, Kevin
Gushiken builds a case for getting serious about play as a vital element
of being a Christian. "Play," he writes, "is not merely an activity but
a way of living." Gushiken explores play from various biblical and
theological lenses:
How an identity grounded in God's good creation invites us to play
The connection between play and the biblical concept of Sabbath
Why past hurts don't have to keep us from enjoying the present
Releasing false guilt and shame to find true freedom to Play
How to play in the midst of difficulty and pain
Ultimately,
knowing and enjoying God brings freedom and pleasure. A Theology of
Play helps Christian believers identify barriers to play in their
day-to-day lives and offers faithful guidance in recapturing play within
the rhythms of life.
