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!

Ephesians #28
There are only two states you can have - alive and dead - we are born again (1Co 15:22, 2Co 5:17, Tit 3:5). We were transfered out of darkness (Col 1:13). We cause grief to the Spirit of God when we sin (Eph 4:30, Eph 4:25). Believer must decide to lay aside former conduct. Out of a desire to please we often lie. To other members of the body we need to speak the truth (Eph 4:25). We can walk in the darkness or the light (1Jn 1:3-10). Anger, even righteous indignation, should be cut short. Stealing needs to turn to giving. Forgiveness is the cure for bitterness. These thing grieve the Spirit.
