Associative games can sharpen intellect and promote a person to see outside of the box. Christian card games are available that exercise these qualities. Christian versions of secular games add a spiritual dimension to games that are already fun and thought provoking.
Apples to Apples encourages association between a topic and the cards you have in your hand. Sometimes the association is a little questionable, but that’s the fun. Everybody’s opinion counts. This game will play up to ten people and makes a great Christian youth activity.

The story of Noah’s Ark never gets old for our children. It has all the elements they love, animals, adventure, danger, heroic efforts and more. Noah stood for God in a generation that totally opposed all God’s teachings and he did mighty things for God. He is a good example to us and our children.
The Ark card game is a Christian card game in which you work with Noah and help him out of a tight spot. The weather is beginning to cloud up and all the animals are being really slow about getting on the ark. You help manage the loading. This is for ages eight and up and a great way to spend family night with the children.
We need to have our time with God every day. Paul says we should desire the sincere milk of the Word and grow thereby.

Some of our Bible study time can be spent in studying what others have learned about the Word. God gives some special insight to teach (one of the fruits of the Spirit). Study with Christian books by Charles Stanley, Charles Swindoll, Joyce Meyer, Max Lucado or many others who God has blessed with the ability to bless you.
God’s Word is essential for our spiritual growth and productivity. Except the help God has provided to assist in your understanding and pray for wisdom and understanding from the Spirit while you study.
