BTLN UPDATE

 

 

Sorry that this is late but life has been a little crazy lately. This week we played the Btln Trifecta. (The Trifecta includes Murderball, Handball and Extreme Bulldog.) Jeremy and Ben's team destroyed my team in Murderball, I'm thinking the games were 4-1 or 4-0, not sure all i know is that we got destroyed. It looked like things were going to be the same for Handball when Ben and Jere's team got out to a 6-2 lead,(The game was first to seven.)but my team battled back to take Handball with a 7-6 victory! I have never won Extreme Bulldog and things didn't change for me this week, it was close at the end but Jeremy and Ben's team won Bulldog and took the Trifecta. (The Captain 3, Jeremy 2)
Jeremy started our Bible study series "Entrust to reliable men" with Job.(Read Job chapters 1 and 2) What a great example of a reliable man Job was! God was so impressed with Job that he brags about him!

Job 1:8 Then the Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil."

God allows Satan to take everything away from Job to test him.(Job loses his wealth,health and children.)

What was Job's response?

Job 1:20-22 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised." In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.

Job 2:9,10 His wife said to him, "Are you still holding on to your integrity? Curse God and die!" He replied, "You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?" In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

It is amazing to see how Job responded to all of the trouble! If only we would respond this way! Job knew that God was still in control and that God still loved him no matter how bad life was!

Zach was in the middle for Bulldog, so this week he wasn't going to add to his Helmet total! This week it was Daniel winning his first career Helmet! Congrats Daniel!
