“The UFC and the Bible have a lot in common: Ultimate Fighters”

…I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

For everything in the world- the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does-comes not from the Father but from the world.

T he world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. 1 John 2: John 2:14-17

THE DISTRACTED WARRIOR

ABANDONS HIS HEAVENLY POST IN PURSUIT OF AN EARTHLY KINDGOM. ABANDONS HIS HEAVENLY POST IN PURSUIT OF AN EARTHLY KINDGOM.

No one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs-he wants to please his commanding officer. 2 Timothy 2:4

THE WARRIOR’S SUBTLE AND DEADLY DISTRACTIONS

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world 1 John 2:16 KJV 1 John 2:16 KJV

LUST OF THE FLESH: SEXUAL LUSTS LUST OF THE FLESH: SEXUAL LUSTS

LUST OF THE EYES: MATERIAL LUSTS LUST OF THE EYES: MATERIAL LUSTS

LUST OF THE FLESH: SEXUAL LUSTS LUST OF THE FLESH: SEXUAL LUSTS LUST OF THE EYES: MATERIAL LUSTS LUST OF THE EYES: MATERIAL LUSTS PRIDE OF LIFE: SELF-MADE PRIDE. PRIDE OF LIFE: SELF-MADE PRIDE.

…let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles…Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith… Hebrews 12:1-2

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people he didn't exist.

Then Nathan said to David, "You are the man! 2 Samuel 12:7

"I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none. Ezekiel 22:30

Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5:5
