This study on Biblical Chivalry was presented at the April 2010 BTBM Conference held in Phoenix, Arizona. Gene teaches how we need—in these dark and perilous days—to awaken from our spiritual slumber, to break free of the shackles of earthly pursuits and possessions, and answer the timeless call into the fellowship of knights-in-training!

Psalm 17 - Suffering Injustice
Peter write a manual on unjust suffering using Christ as our example (1Pe 2:19-25). Jesus suffered injustice committing Himself to the Father "who judges righteously". Outline: (1) commitment (Psa 17:1-5) (2) conduct (Psa 17:6-8) (3) consider (Psa 17:9-15). Commit your cause to the Father and His character will be on the line (Psa 17:2, Jam 4:12, Joh 5:22). Unjust suffering is a test of our character and faith (Psa 17:3-5, 1Pe 1:7, Jam 1:12). Vengeance is God's (Rom 12:19). The Devil tempts us to react, to demand what's right (Psa 17:4-5, Rom 12:19). David recognizes he needs help to stay on the path in fellowship (Psa 17:5-8, 1Co 10:13). Satan and the wicked focus on this life to enrich themselves at the expense of others (Psa 17:10-12, 1Pe 5:8, Joh 8:44). David realizes he'll wake up in the reflection of Him (Psa 17:15). Possibly the setting for Psalm 17: Saul is told that the Philistines have attacked and withdraws from pursuing David (1Sa 23:24-29)
