BTLN UPDATE

 

 

The night started with ping pong as the guys started practising for the Btln Ping Pong Tourney! Ping Pong is only three weeks away!
We tried Murderdog this week. (A new game combining Murderball and Bulldog.) It seemed logical to combine the two best games that we play at Btln. The game was okay but not nearly like Bulldog or Murderball.(Murderdog could be good, it just needs some work.) After trying Murderdog three times we ended going back to Murderball and had three amazing games! Jeremy's team coming back from one man left to win the series 2-1!
In Bible study we looked at the story of the Paralytic from Luke 5:17-26. In this story the Paralytic is lowered through the roof of the house that Jesus was teaching in. When Jesus saw their faith he said "Friend, your sins are forgiven." Next Jesus heals the Paralytic in front of the Pharisees who had been thinking that Jesus was speaking blasphemy when he forgave the sins of the Paralytic. The question is, why did Jesus forgive the Paralytic before he healed him? First of all because having one's sins forgiven is a higher priority than being healthy. Secondly Jesus wanted to prove that he was God. The Pharisees knew that only God could forgive sins. They also knew that only God could heal the Paralytic. If Jesus wasn't God and only a good prophet then there was no way that God would use Jesus to heal the Paralytic if he had just blasphemed. This proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jesus was God! The problem was and still is that in the end we as humans still need to accept and believe Jesus! The Pharisees had no reason not to believe and neither do we!

Acts 16:31 - "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved!

Kaleb was in the middle for Bulldog this week. With a grade twelve in the middle it didn't take long for the guys to start dropping like flies. After a few rounds Cody emerged the victor! Congrats Cody! This is Cody's second win in four weeks! Cody is making a late charge for Winston! Lookout Btln 3739!
