BTLN UPDATE - DOUBLE POINT NIGHT




Congrats Neighbour! This was Isaac's first Bulldog win ever! All of the biggest guys went down early, giving some of the other guys a chance to win Bulldog. It never gets old watching one of the guys win Bulldog for the first time!

This was the second year that we have had Double Point Night on a Wednesday, and I am not sure what took us so long to make the change. I have not checked, but I am pretty sure that eight guys quoting Scripture has got to be a new record! Double Point Night is quickly becoming one of my favourite nights of the year! I am so proud of everyone that said a passage! Good work guys!

This week we played Murderball for only the second time since Christmas! I know what you are thinking, what is going on at Btln? We have been trying to change things a little, but we were long overdue for Murderball! Some of the older guys were trying to fix the teams, so my team ended up a little undermanned. (My team had the guys that were fixing the teams.) This meant that we would have to work harder to win. We were close a couple of times, but were never able to win, losing to Ben's team 3-0!


In Bible study our topic was "God's Word", it seemed appropriate for Double Point Night.


Psalm 119:89   Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.

God's word is eternal

2 Timothy 3:16-17   All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

God's word is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness.

Hebrews 4:12   For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

God's word is living and active.

Psalm 12:6   And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.

God's word is flawless.

Psalm 119:130   The unfolding of your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.

God's word gives light and understanding.

Psalm 119:9-11   How can a young man stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

God's word can keep us from sinning.

These are some of the reasons why it is so important to study and memorize God's word!
