The Importance of Being Part of a Diverse “Body” – Finding God in Video Games

The Pikmin series features some of the most unique protagonists in all of gaming… taken individually, these tiny beings appear relatively weak and helpless, and at first glance the world around them seems too large, hostile and cruel for any of them to survive. But the secret to their success is that they never face these challenges alone… by following the direction of their leader and combining each of their diverse strengths to compliment their fellow Pikmin’s weaknesses, they take on and overcome these “super-sized” challenges. And through their intentional (and often sacrificial) collaboration with each other, this collection of seemingly mismatched souls become an unstoppable force for good… all because they chose to come together as one unified body to follow one “master’s” voice.

As individuals, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the challenges of the world around us and feel under-qualified for the missions we have been called to complete… but that’s because we weren’t designed to take these on alone. In the body of Christ, our differences are necessary and meant to be complimentary… and it is only when we choose to put aside our personal agendas, place our limited capabilities in the Master’s hands, and unselfishly work together for His purpose that we will see mountains move.

For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have the same function, so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Romans 12:4-5

For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29
