LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

It has been debated for centuries, and to some, the verdict is still out: there is neither nor shall there ever be genteelness for women and men in their conduct and behavior in society towards all men (mankind). This shocking wrong thinking has reached heaven and the throne of God. God in heaven is not pleased with this monstrous ideology in his church. This rhetoric heresy doctrine is not for the body of Christ. It is the world's and it should stay there. There is no place in God's church for abolishing propriety in Christian ladies and gentlemen.

To believe that propriety has passed is preposterous! Our heavenly Father has much to say concerning Christian women and men maintaining their proper positions in society, in the likeness of becoming ladies and gentlemen. Genteelness refers to the quality of being genteel, which is polite and refined. The marvelous outcomes of genteelness are graceful manners and refined conduct, which are well pleasing to our God. We express that this is a process, not an overnight development. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” (PHILIPPIANS 4:13).

Christian women and men are to pursue propriety as a goal towards their self-achievement as a daily regime to become positive spouses, parents, guardians, siblings, friends, employers, or employees, and overall persons. This perseverance will win you merits in your workplace and create a healthy working environment, which will consequently consider you as a prospect for promotions for bettering the organization that you are employed by with your well-mannered behavior. No one desires a door slammed in their face or overlooked in their communities; no one desires to enter into a room and it becomes silent at your arrival; no one desires to be excluded in family or friends reunions, neighborhoods festivities, simply ignored or shunned while the church and the world is busy enjoying the fruits of their righteousness that was sown towards each other; love, kindness, patience, politeness, sobriety, non confrontational, non quarrelsome. There should be absolutely no vulgarity that comes out of a Christian lady or gentleman's mouth, but genteelness. "To speak evil of no man, to be no brawler, but gentle, showing all meekness unto all men" (TITUS 3:2).

Christians are to positively have no regard for those who have bad communications lest (fear) we will fall into iniquity and be taken over by their evil deeds and unholiness. "But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase into more ungodliness" (2 TIMOTHY 2:16). You say, “I have good manners and I am not easily persuaded. It will not affect me”, but God says differently. "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners” (1 CORINTHIANS, 15:33). Christian gentlemen should always display graveness and dignity and show respect toward all women and men.. Christian women, ladies, should demonstrate sensibility and a quiet, meek spirit to her own husbands, for this is well pleasing to God. "Likewise ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands…” (1 PETER, 3:1), "But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of a great price” (1 PETER, 3:4). .

Christian ladies and Gentlemen are to never speak evil of one but to display the love and peace of God to all men. "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers” (EPHESIANS 4:29). Always start your day by blessing your household first and other contacts with a pleasant good morning! A lady and gentleman always speak with a warm smile, good morning to their families first, neighbors, and their workplace. It is alarming how many people do not speak, especially in the mornings. It can make your day! This blessing is also to continue throughout your day. Every time you say good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night, you are speaking blessings over their day by declaring it will be good because God created the day, and he wants his people to have a good day and rejoice about it! “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it” (PSALM 118:24).

There is a lady in every woman and a gentleman in every man, through God's word. Amen. God wants to bring it out of you through His Son Jesus Christ. It is of no effect to God, concerning your pedigree or status, only being obedient to his word. Take a deep breath and embrace all that God has for you! God is good and God is love, so let us all show God's love to all men, now exhale and say, “thank you Jesus for making me a lady and a gentleman through your holy word.” AMEN. 

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

To God be all the Glory,
