Checkers is a game of strategy, patience, and sometimes sacrifice - much like the Christian walk. As you play, we hope you'll reflect on these spiritual parallels:
Our interactive checkers game is under development. Check back soon to play!
While you wait for our interactive game, here are the basic rules of checkers:
Checkers is played by two opponents on opposite sides of the game board
Pieces move diagonally forward one square at a time
Capture opponent's pieces by jumping over them
When a piece reaches the farthest row, it becomes a King and gains additional powers
The player who captures all opponent pieces or blocks them from moving wins
Just as every checker piece has value on the board, you have infinite value to God. He created you in His image and loves you unconditionally.
"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8
In checkers, a wrong move can cost you the game. In life, our wrong choices (sin) separate us from God. The good news is that Jesus paid the price for our sins on the cross.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23
Just as a checker piece becomes a king when it reaches the other side, we become children of God when we accept Jesus as our Savior. This gift is free - we can't earn it, just receive it by faith.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." - Romans 6:23
Becoming a Christian is as simple as:
You can pray this simple prayer to begin your relationship with Christ:
"Dear Jesus, I know I'm a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe you died for my sins and rose from the dead. I invite you into my life as my Lord and Savior. Thank you for saving me. Amen."
"I came to play checkers but found so much more. The message about Jesus touched my heart, and I gave my life to Christ right here at this site!"
