{"product_id":"9781944321314","title":"Bible Studies for Belts: A Guide for Christian Martial Arts","description":"The purpose of this book is to assist those within the American Christian Defense Alliance, Inc. Martial Arts Ministry with a resource to help them better understand the operational framework of the Biblical aspects of our Martial Arts Ministry system and style.\u003cp\u003eIn this book we hope to create unity throughout the Christian Martial Arts world by establishing a set standard to utilize while disciplining students in the faith. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ultimate goal for any Christian Martial Arts Ministry should be to disciple brothers and sisters in the Lord. There is such an attack on the fundamental principles of the Word of God in this current time that it's clear to see if we don't do something then we will lose everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJesus last Commandment was to go and make disciples throughout all of the world. He knew that there was coming a time and day when believers would not walk in sound doctrine. This is why He continually emphasized that we should watch and pray lest anyone deceive us. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no greater thing that we can do to help change the situations around us that we find less then desirable than to love those around us and make disciples as the Lord commanded us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSome may be asking, how do you make disciples? Well the simple fact is we do have an example in Christ. He spent over three years with His disciples, they ate, slept, traveled, and all work together to support the ministry over that time. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reality is discipleship is a complete immersion into a way of life, in this case the Christian way of life. Martial Arts is merely a tool to enable us to reach those interested in self-defense. We hope that you will join with us and use this book as a reference guide to disciplining believers in the faith. If you are part of the American Christian Defense Alliance Martial Arts Ministry in some way this book is a must have for your Ministry\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe operational framework of the Biblical concepts and aspects of our Martial Arts Ministry includes a multilayered system approach. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifically we use a three-tiered system which incorporates what we call, \"Colors of the Cross\" \"Learning through Creation\" and \"Defending Your Faith\". The three-tiered system approach works in harmony together to help solidify a solid operational framework of Biblical principles covered for each belt level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDedication 3\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgment 4\u003cbr\u003eForward 6\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: How to utilize this Book 11\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Is it Biblical? 13\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: The White Belt 14\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Colors of the Cross - White -Focus is on Holiness 15\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: Learning through Creation 20\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: Defending Your Faith 23\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Lesson Wrap-Up 26\u003cbr\u003eSpecial Gift 29\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDon't forget to check out the rest of our books including, \"Martial Arts Ministry: How To Start A Martial Arts Ministry\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGod Bless\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Christian Defense Alliance, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47061216264432,"sku":"9781944321314","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781944321314_p0.jpg?v=1763792631","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781944321314","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
