				The Influence of Video Games Let’s be diligent with the entertainment our kids take in. Here are resources to turn to next time you’re not sure whether a video game is appropriate.   ESRB.org—Every game has to have an ESRB rating. This site gives the rating for a game and the broad reasons for that rat­ing.   commonsensemedia.org—This site gives detailed descrip­tions of the content in movies, books, and video games. The site isn’t religious; they’re merely reporting.   pluggedin.com—This site provides details about game play and reviews the games from a biblical standpoint.   Let’s stay strong—and pay attention to what our kids are paying attention to. “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.”—Proverbs 4:23
