The Vision of Casiano’s Martial Arts
Since I was a young teen I’ve had a passion for fighting. I will go as far as saying that I was filled with a violent spirit. I was always attracted by martial Arts, but martial arts cost money that my parents were not wiling to pay, so I engaged in boxing since it was […]

Free From Spiritual Slavery
Even as there are some elements of racism in some churches in America, ultimately, it may not be a white and black issue. However, more deeply, it may be an issue of biblical vs unbiblical. We must stand by God’s Word and not find ourselves compromising just because of our racial reality, preference […]

In Honor of Six Men
Boy, there is something about the 40s that is humbling, at least for me. As I took a long walk in some nature trails in Fairbanks, Alaska, I started thinking deeply about the men that were and are spiritual leaders in my life. I have had supervisors in jobs, good spiritual friends, team […]

Act Like You Have Some Sense
Crime has a face, an image and is that “thing” that tells others, “watch out, be careful.” It seems as if it is now fashionable to look like a thug. The problem comes when a person treats another person as if they are one; especially the police. When an officer approaches you and the first […]

Who Is Killing Us?

Exercising the Spirit, the Soul and the Body in Martial Arts

With Them, I Will Not Be In Unity
Unity in the Church can only take place under the umbrella of God’s Word and the recognition that Jesus Christ alone is the only way to salvation and the only way to find reconciliation with the Father. True unity in the Body of Christ cannot take place by disregarding Sound Doctrine. […]

Don’t Try to Change the World
The death of Robin Williams is another example of how extreme, cruel and bloody this fight is. Here is a man who seemed so happy. One of the best actors of our time; perhaps the best comedian ever. However, it was all a mask. In his secret place he was struggling with a severe depression. […]

Conveying the Ministry of Prayer to Our Students
No other ministry is challenged more by Satan than the ministry of prayer. People can fake many things; they can go to church on Sundays, they can read Christian Books, they can enjoy Bible Studies, they can talk the Christian talk and they can even learn how to sound good praying publicly. However, we can […]

Church Styles of Sunday Services
“Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth does not become weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable.” Isaiah 40:28 (NASB) The Prophet starts this verse with two questions, “Do you not know? Have you not heard?” It seems […]
