The notion of the knights of the ancient European world is something that warms every ounce of the average westernized male. We have visions of knights riding on beautiful steeds with large glistening swords at their sides as they fight dragons and save damsels. There is nothing wrong with these images of knights as they help to solidify a sense of valor. There is an idea embodied here of fighting for a cause and saving humanity from the horrors of evil.
There is something else that belonged to these knights of old that seems to be largely forgotten. They had a great deal of faith in God. Make no mistakes, this God was not Buddha, Ganesha, Allah or the Great Spirit. This was the God of the Christian and the Jew. His compound name is El Elohim or Yahweh (the unpronounceable name). The name was considered so sacred that no one was allowed to pronounce it and to this day no one even remembers how it was pronounced. This is the God the knights worshiped. The God who freed the Jew and the Gentile.
We can argue about the Crusades which followed later in the knights evolution as not being of God and there is certainly enough blame to be cast there but I would like to suggest that we take the best of the knights of old and make them our own. I would like us to start a new era of morality based on the knights inner code of Christianity. This is what drove them to fight for those who could not fight. To be the savior of the peasant and the king.
I want us to cast off immoral thoughts, pornography, adultery, lying, jealously and hatred. I today, make this vow that I will do everything within the power of God and the power he has given me to never partake in these behaviors. I vow to not drink alcohol or use profane language. You are my God and I will be your knight and servant. I will bring my sword of scripture to bear on your enemy Satan and his followers. I will share my faith with others and make a difference for you. I will exercise my mind an my body to be stronger. I will be a better father and husband. You El Elohim are my God and there is none to compare! I will worship you and cast off the sin around me every day.
I trust and hope that everyone who reads this will do the same. Join me in taking back the western culture for Christ, the Son of the Most High God!
