BTLN UPDATE

 

 

 

 


What is the chaos that you see in the pictures? It's Mike 23! Why 23 you ask? We weren't sure if it was 2 or 3 so we called it 23. (Hey, I didn't say that it made sense.) Mike 23 started with one beach ball(I think it lasted about 30 seconds), now we play with five exercise balls, ten murderballs and one Zorb! The Zorb was added this time and only for the last couple rounds. Not sure what we will add next time but consensus was that we should play it more often.
In the Bible study we talked about Gods justice and how he is completely just.

Romans 3:25,26 - God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement, through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left sins committed beforehand unpunished - he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.

What an amazing passage! As a just judge, God had to condemn us because of our sin, but as our saviour he was able to justify us! We only need to accept his precious gift!

Isaiah 30:18 - Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!

Quite often the passages that talk about Gods justice also talk about his love, grace and compassion. If only we could be so balanced. What a great God we serve!

Zach G. was the B-dog this week and after a few rounds it was down to Stevie and Zac W. for the Helmet. Stevie gained about two more yards than Zac did and took the win! Congrats Stevie!

WINTERSLAM NEXT WEEK! BRING A FRIEND!
