Matthew 7:15-20

If I were to say the words "waka waka waka" I'm willing to guess a good chunk of you would immediately recognise the noise of
(If you have never heard of this game I would suggest typing it into Google and playing a free version they have)
"PAC-MAN"
This game has been on of the greatest games/time-wasters for the past 35ish years, and is just as popular now as it was when it first came out.
So first, to answer that question you are asking yourself. Yes I am very much a nerd but that just makes life fun. More importantly; there is a very interesting gospel point that I would love to make between Pac-man and the scripture in Matthew. In Matthew 7:16 Christ is teaching how to recognise whether what people teach is really his word or something else to get gain, and the phrase that he uses is "By their fruits ye shall know them, Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"

The same thing applies to Pac-man, for those that have never played before the best way to learn how is to open a game and start playing, the best way for anyone to learn anything is to experience it for your self then you know for sure what ghost will kill you and how to avoid them (the fruits of playing the game).

Are we searching for the fruits ourselves? Or are we trusting that people know where the fruit is already and hoping there will be some for us when we decide to go there ourselves?
