BTLN UPDATE - THE MILL

Congrats Luke! This was Luke's third Helmet of the Btln Season! Luke has increased his lead in the race for Winston to two Helmets! Dane was there at the end with Luke and almost had his second Helmet of the season. Dane is overdue for a win in Bulldog.

This week we played "The Mill" for only the second time ever! We added a Lightweight line (grade 7-9) to make things easier on the younger guys. I believe the spacing was 6 feet for the Heavyweights and 7 feet for the Lightweights. The game was very close, needing double overtime to break the draw! I'm thinking of adding a Train Round next year!

In the Bible Study our Topic was Love.

1 John 4:7-8   Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1) Love comes from God and God himself is Love!

John 15:13   Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.

Romans 5:7-8   Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

2) The greatest act of Love would be dying for a friend. Jesus took this one step further, he died for us while we were still sinners!

Romans 8:38-39   For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

3) Nothing can separate us from the Love of God!

Psalm 103:11   For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;

1 Corinthians 2:9   However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”— the things God has prepared for those who love him— 

Ephesians 3:17b-19   And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

4) God's Love for us is so great that it can't be measured! God's love is beyond what our minds can conceive. While on earth, we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg when it comes to understanding God's Love for us. When we get to Heaven, then we will "know fully, (God's Love) even as we are fully known."
