Halo’s move from utilizing their own propriety “Slipspace” technology to announcing they will build all future Halo content using the “Unreal” game engine is a pretty significant decision… the studio has finally accepted the limitations of their own software design and are choosing to use a proven, superior engine going forward. While this was a humbling and costly decision to make, they can’t build the future Halo experiences we all want on an old, flawed, or insufficient foundation. The only way to deliver a new Halo title that is worthy of the name is to change the way they create the game starting from the ground up.

The choice to follow the Lord in our lives must also be accompanied by our willingness to fully submit to His “game engine” in every decision we make if we want to enjoy the blessings and benefits He has promised us. He isn’t an “add-on” or supplemental DLC that we download into our daily routine… the mission of His Spirit is to rebuild our entire way of thinking from scratch on HIS foundation. Trying to simply add His wisdom to our old way of doing things in an attempt to have the best of both worlds will only end in frustration… His promises are real and will always come true, but He can’t bless what He didn’t build. Let’s construct our lives on His foundation and design so we can enjoy His blessings today.

Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless the Lord guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. Psalm 127:1

Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall. Matthew 7:24-27

According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:10-11
