chivalry not just for knights.


Chivalry  is an old code that knights everywhere followed as a code of honor and stood by that code to the very end. It was based on Church teaching at the time and directed them to protect the weak and innocent. To attack the enemy with courage and always live in honor. I think it is time to bring ourselves a new code of honor for us Disciples of Christ in a world where where decency and morals are like Chivalry is becoming a distant memory. How we become so blind to our own evil and the evil around us. Women are bretread in songs as objects and not human beings. People care more about money then doing the right thing. More and more people want to murder each other in cold blood over petty disagreements on Religion economic systems and  Government systems. Where people do not want to help other who are in need or demand money that is not theirs. This is the world we live in and here is the code I want to put out for all of the Disciples of Christ to follow even if it is hard or even if it demands you to lose friends over it.

1 never forget who created you and never use his name as a swear for it is disrespectful to the one that loved the idea of someone like you and created you in his image.
Psalm 139:13

2 Never dishonor a woman. Do not treat her as an object and do not bring any harm to a woman and never listen or watch something that says otherwise. Always treat them with respect and as equals.
Ephesians 5:25
Colossians 3:19

3 Always be there for someone in need whether a helping hand or shoulder to cry on.
Galatians 6:2

4 Always have a humble heart. Never think you are better than everyone else because you know that you were saved by Christ. For without that you would be in the same boat as them.
Galatians 6:3-4
Ephesians 2:1-4

5 Never steal others belonging or covet other people's riches or even worry about life itself.
Matthew 6:27-34

6 Always seek wisdom and knowledge.
Proverbs 1:1-7

7 Always protect the weak and be a voice that stands up. Even if it means losing your life in the name of doing what is right. Stand for the rights and freedom for others. Even if you disagree with them.
John 15: 13

8 Love your fellow men and women even your enemies.
John 13:34-35
Matthew 5:44

9 Never beat or bring harm to children.
Mark 9:42

10 Never go to the level of others. Always take the high ground in respectability and honor.
Proverbs 26:4

I challenge all who read this including myself to follow this code. If we all do than maybe this world will be a better place to live.
