P. 53
Christian circles; we're looking to downplay
self and put our trust in God. He's the One
that lifts us up and encourages us, not
through self-inflated views. Martial arts focus
on abilities, performances, demonstrations,
rankings, competitions, belts and trophies
and awards. Again, it's about what I can do,
my abilities, what I am capable of doing
even though they have their codes of
conduct and their virtues and all of that.
That is just a front. I'm simply saying that
the martial arts create a prideful disposition.
I'm going to read three verses from 1
John chapter 2, and in these verses, I'm
going to focus in on one of the aspects of
the world, and that's the pride of life. Pride
