Congrats Ben! This is Ben's second Helmet of the Btln Season! At the end it was Ben and Noah, seems like these guys do everything as a team! It was just the two of them for about three rounds, and then finally Noah went down, giving Ben the win!
For the first time this year we played Stickball! I love the games that have four corners and four teams, like Mike, Mike 23 and Stickball! The game was closer this time around than in the past, giving us a closer finish and more suspense.
STICKBALL FINAL SCORES
Jonathan's team - 11
Ben & Noah's team - 10
Jason's team - 8
Ben's team - 7
In Bible study this week our topic was, "Why do bad things happen to good people".
This is not an easy topic or one that everyone is going to agree on, but at Btln we are not afraid to try and tackle these tough questions!
Matthew 19:17 And he (Jesus) said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God:
Isaiah 64:6 All of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags; we all shrivel up like a leaf, and like the wind our sins sweep us away.
Romans 3:10-11 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God.
These passages teach us that without God none of us are good!
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Our sin has earned us death! What a dreadful position we would be in if it wasn't for God's free gift of eternal life! Jesus took the death that we earned! (At the cross.) Amazing!
(Read Matthew 27:27-31 to see what Jesus did for us!)
Romans 8:22-24 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.
Even if we have accepted Christ's free gift of salvation we will still have to endure troubles. The difference for us as believers is, that we have God to help us through these troubles!
Romans 8:18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.
The key is, to look to our future in heaven with Christ!
THE CAPTAIN
