Page 22 - Martial Arts

Now, in our text, we find in verse 1 that

we're to present our bodies as a living

sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which

is your reasonable service. And then verse

2 says, "And be not conformed to this world.

. ." James 4:4 says that you cannot be a

friend of the world and be a friend of God,

and he says, "but be ye transformed” — that

is, to be changed — "by the renewing” —

notice — “of your mind, that ye may prove

what is that good, and acceptable, and

perfect, will of God.” A week or so ago I

preached on the will of God. We need to

know what the will of God is. So we're

looking at the physical aspect, the mental

aspect, and also the spiritual aspect of

training when it comes to martial arts.
