Are you chilvaric?!?!?

Good morning all!! What a wonderful day to be alive in our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!!! God is good, all the time; all the time, God is good! Today my main prayer is for God to help me be humble, doing His work, giving Him the credit. Are you humble and doing God's will? Sometimes it is tough.
In Galatians 5:24 "THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST JESUS HAVE NAILED THE PASSIONS AND DESIRES OF THEIR SINFUL NATURE TO HIS CROSS AND CRUICIFIED THEM THERE."
In order to accept CHRIST as Saviour, we need to turn from our sins and willingly nail our sinful nature to the cross. As Christians we still have the capacity to sin, but we have been set free from sin's power over us and no longer have to give in to it. We must commit our sinful tendencies to God's control daily, crucify them daily, and moment by moment draw on the Spirit's power to overcome them.
We need to practice Chivalry!!! You say what??? What you talkin' 'bout Willis??? Well, look at the following list.
Chivalric codesThere were several lists written down during the Middle Ages. One example code can be found in the book Chivalry by 19th century French historian Leon Gautier:
 Thou shalt believe all that the Church teaches, and shalt observe all its directions.
 Thou shalt defend the Church.
 Thou shalt respect all weaknesses, and shalt constitute thyself the defender of them.
Thou shalt love the country in which thou wast born.
 Thou shalt not recoil before thine enemy.
 Thou shalt make war against the Infidel without cessation, and without mercy.
 Thou shalt perform scrupulously thy feudal duties, if they be not contrary to the laws of God.
 Thou shalt never lie, and shall remain faithful to thy pledged word.
 Thou shalt be generous, and give largess to everyone.
 Thou shalt be everywhere and always the champion of the Right and the Good against Injustice and Evil
Are you chivalric? The very first one says what?!? BELIEVE ALL THAT THE CHURCH TEACHES, AND SHALT OBSERVE ALL ITS DIRECTIONS. But continue on from here- look at each one. Think about how these relate to your Christian life...and Are you being chilvaric??? I just pray that God helps me be chilvaric, to be a student of the word, and to let Jesus Christ shine through my actions and words. Thank you God for being a loving and kind God. Thank you all for reading. Love you all.
In Christ's Love and Grace
Johnny
