After all these years, the Nintendo Wii console still stands as one of the best selling hardware platforms of all time, selling over 100 million units during its’ lifetime. But despite those incredible numbers, the final legacy of the Wii was a bit of a mixed bag, with some of the best titles ever released sharing the same shelf space with some of the worst games ever made. The Wii gave us truly incredible titles like Super Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess, but it also brought “shovelware”… large quantities of poorly made, low-quality titles that were not an effective  representation of what the Wii was truly capable of delivering when it kept its’ standards high. 

As “living platforms” demonstrating the Lord to all who are observing us, what we say and do matters at all times… and our quality standards are defined by whatever is true, noble, just, pure, lovely, virtuous and praiseworthy in the eyes of the Father. When we let His life shine through us we bring His light into the darkest of places, but when our words and actions are inconsistent with His values we combine His fresh water with a bitter aftertaste. We are ambassadors for Christ, representing Him at all times… even when things are tough, let’s rise above the standards set by the world around us and deliver words of life and light that meet His seal of approval.

Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? James 3:10-11

A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. Matthew 12:35-36
