Why "Bonus Life"?

A little on the meaning behind the blog name: I was inspired by John 10:10 "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)." That quote came from The Amplified Bible (copyright The Lockman Foundation). Everybody gets life, but those that are in Christ get more life. Everybody lives once, but those who follow Christ live a new life - an extra life. This "bonus life" is what this blog is suppose to be about.

I also like that the title reminds me of the old school video games where you would get a "bonus life" for picking up a 1-up in the game. I could have gone with "1-up life blog" but that doesn't have a the same ring to it.

Video games and The Bible: so much potential, so little results. I would say that Spiritual Warfare is the best Christian game I've seen. It's pretty much Zelda with bible verses, but at least it was fun! That's not a huge recommendation considering this is the competition.

Started with salvation and ended with video games - welcome to The Bonus Life Blog!
