Are you the "King" of your Household? You should be the "Knight" serving your King by taking care of your "fair maiden!" Have you become a 21st century captive and just find your self bowing your "Knee" to the television and being disarmed by entertainment and "serfing" in the Tavern of Trash on the Internet.Living in Europe gives me a great interest in the medieval age. Actually I have always been interested in the Feudal time period and now I have a wonderful excuse to examine it in more detail. According to wikipedia the Knight would take the following type of oaths.
Duties to countrymen and fellow Christians: this contains virtues such as mercy, courage, valor, fairness, protection of the weak and the poor, and in the servant-hood of the knight to his lord. This also brings with it the idea of being willing to give one’s life for another’s; whether he would be giving his life for a poor man or his lord.
Duties to God: this would contain being faithful to God, protecting the innocent, being faithful to the church, being the champion of good against evil, being generous and obeying God above the feudal lord.
Duties to women: this is probably the most familiar aspect of chivalry. This would contain what is often called courtly love, the idea that the knight is to serve a lady, and after her all other ladies. Most especially in this category is a general gentleness and graciousness to all women. 1) A confidential survey over the past three years revealed that 70 percent of Christian leaders and pastors struggle with sexual sin and sexual addiction. (Our leaders)
2) 88% percent of children in evangelical churches leave the church by the time they are 18 and never return (our children)
3) More than half of men involved with Promise Keepers reported to have viewed pornography in the past week! (our hearts!)
A freeman became a serf usually through force or necessity. Sometimes freeholder or allodial owners were intimidated into dependency by the greater physical and legal force of a local baron. Often a few years of crop failure, a war or brigandage (sounds like brain damage) might leave a person unable to make his own way. In such a case a bargain was struck with their lord (god of this world), which often included protection and in exchange for this protection, service was required either in payment and/or with labor. These bargains were formalized in a ceremony known as "bondage" in which a serf placed his head in the Seigeur's hands (HELLO!), parallel to the ceremony of "homage" where a vassal placed his hands between those of his lord. These oaths bonded the Seigneur to their new serf and outlined the terms of their agreement.
I suggest one for yourself today! I no longer will be a "surf to the baron" that is trying to destroy you and your family!

I admit I am a sinner.....you know the rest....ask for forgiveness and to be cleansed of all unrighteousnes you will be clean......it is a promise....as they say...JUST DO IT!
In May 1381 the English peasants revolted because of the heavy tax placed upon them by Parliament. Similar occurrences around the same time happened in Germany, northern France, Spain, and Sweden. Although these peasant revolts were often successful, it usually took a long time before legal systems were changed. In France this occurred on August 11, 1789 with the “Decree Abolishing the Feudal System”. This decree abolished the manorial system completely. It included removing the authority manorial courts, outlawing pigeon houses, eliminating and rerouting tithes (set taxes), and it freed those who were enslaved. Fear and hatred of the privileged was the most important idea that emerged as a result of the eventual dismantlement of serfdom. The majority of the population consisted of peasants. This social system was no longer viable. The beginning of the eradication of the feudal system marks an era of rapid change in Europe.
Men it is Feudal (FUTILE) to keep going in the direction of Internet porn...you will pay...judgement is just around the corner and you know it.....no more hiding....run from the Baron and into the King of Kings protection first, pick up your shield of faith, where your helmet of salvation "if you even have one"....and put on the breast plate of righteousness! Fight the good Fight...we are loosing and you know it! No "True Knight" runs from a fight! There should NOT even be a HINT of this stuff in our hearts......
We know that our King does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but our King looks at the heart....
