BTLN UPDATE - DOUBLE POINT NIGHT

Congrats Jonathan! This was Jonathan's first Helmet ever! The grade sevens have been trying all year to help each other, so that one of them could win a Helmet. When they realized that Jonathan had won, they all cheered! This Helmet was a win for all of the grade sevens!


This week was Double Point Night for the Memory Work. Josh, Andrew, Ashton, Caleb and Jonathan each did a passage. Josh for the fifth year in a row! It is so good to have all the guys in the room listening as the guys quoted Scripture. I am so proud of Josh, Andrew, Ashton, Caleb and Jonathan! Good work guys!

The Bible Study Topic this week was the importance of God's Word.

Matthew 24:35   Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

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

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

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.

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.

Psalm 119:97-99   Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. Your commands are always with me and make me wiser than my enemies. I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your statutes.

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.

This is just a small sample of verses that let us know how important God's Word is!
