Congrats to Tyson Tiller, the 29th Sergeant of Btln 3739! Tyson officially became Sergeant this Wednesday night at Btln! Ben Jepsen (2006) and Devin Chursinoff (2008) were there to present Tyson his Jersey! Tyson is the 17th Sergeant to receive his jersey.
Congrats also goes out to Phoenix! Phoenix has his first Helmet of the new Btln season! Dylan and Phoenix had the same forward progress on the last round, but Phoenix stayed up longer, taking the win! I don't know if I have ever seen a closer finish in British Bulldog! Congrats to both Phoenix and Dylan!
For the first time this year we played Handball. It was very intense from the beginning to the end! Ben's team had the early edge, but Devin's team battled back for a small lead. When we were nearing the end I wasn't sure what the score was, or who had the lead. To finish the game we went with one ball instead of two and also to "next goal wins". When we go to one ball and "next goal wins", the intensity definitely picks up! Both teams had their chances at the end, but Devin's team seemed to carry the play and ended up getting the winner!
In Bible study our topic was "The Passing of the Torch". As I was thinking about Tyson becoming the Sergeant this topic seemed to make a lot of sense.
As I was thinking about the passing of the torch I thought of Moses and Joshua (Deuteronomy 31:7-8, 23), David and Solomon (2 Kings 2:1-4), Elijah and Elisha (1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 1-15) and Paul and Timothy. We focused in on Paul and Timothy. My thought was, what direct advice did Paul have for Timothy?
2 Timothy 2:22 Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
1 Timothy 6:11-12 But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Paul tells Timothy to flee the evil desires of youth. Often we underestimate the sin in our lives and assume that we have it under control, but Paul tells us to flee from these evil desires! Next Paul gives Timothy a list of things that he should pursue. Righteousness, faith, love, peace, godliness, endurance and gentleness. Can you imagine what we would look like if we pursued these things? What a different place this world would be if we all pursued these things!
1 Timothy 4:7b-8 Train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come.
We need to train ourselves to be godly. It is something that we all need to work on, and is also something that we will all benefit from in this life as well as in eternity!
1 Timothy 4:12 Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
Even though Timothy was young, Paul tells him that he can still be an example to all believers! You are never too young to be a good example!
1 Timothy 4:15 Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress.
Lastly, Paul tells Timothy to be diligent in all these things, so that everyone will see the spiritual gains that he has made! If we are training to be more godly, everyone should notice a difference in us!
