First off congrats to Zach on his sixth Helmet of the 2011/12 Btln season! Zach has now tied the record set by Sam Schiesser and tied by Chris Henderson. Zach has two months to beat the record! Congrats Zach, you deserve the record! You earned it!
In Bible study Ben talked about Timothy and his relationship with Paul in our continuing series "Entrust to Reliable Men". (1 Timothy and 2 Timothy)
Ben talked about how Paul mentored Timothy and how we all need older friends to mentor us as well. This is our goal at Battalion!
2 Timothy 1:2-14 To Timothy, my dear son: Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. And of this gospel I was appointed a herald and an apostle and a teacher. That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet this is no cause for shame, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him until that day.
What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
This whole passage is full of Paul's advice to Timothy. ("I remind you you to fan into flame the gift of God which is in you.")("Join with me in suffering for the gospel.")(What you have heard from me, keep as a pattern of sound teaching.)
This is the kind of friend we all need!
2 Timothy 2:1-3 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus.
More good advice from Paul to Timothy!(Where have I heard this passage before?)
Mike is always a classic. We had four teams of four and the game was close. After a few collisions and even more battles we had our winner, it was Zach's team! The guy hardly ever loses! The scores were 24-22-22-21.
We ended with Bulldog and like I said before, Zach was our winner! Congrats Zach!
THE CAPTAIN
