Knights of the Prince 2011 Rules and Guidelines

Guidelines Concerning Recruitment
To become a member of our kin the only requirement is that the requesting party must believe in Jesus Christ to be the son of God and have faith that through him we gain forgiveness of our sins and eternal life in heaven.

Guidelines Concerning Increasing Rank
When a person becomes a member before they are promoted to the rank of kinsmen/kinswoman they must be a member of the kin for at least two weeks.

In order for a kin member to become an officer they must be appointed by the approval of Leader, Successor, and remaining officers of the kin. (This guideline may be overlooked if there are no officers currently instated aside from the leader obviously)

Code of Conduct
All kinspeople are bound by the same guidelines as you would be in church. But just to spell out the obvious here’s a list.

1. Be respectful to everyone no matter personal opinion. Be helpful and kind to all kinsmen just as we are to be to anyone.
(Mat 22:37 NIV - Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' Mat 22:38 NIV - This is the first and greatest commandment. Mat 22:39 NIV - And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.')

2. Watch your mouth, whether it be filthy language, inappropriate joking, to just careless words.
(Jam 1:26 NIV - If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless)


That’s really it, if there are more that needed to be added in the future it will be added to this list.

To Everyone And Anyone

Hey there, this is Craigo and I just wanted to say that I’m working on getting this kin going again. If you haven’t been on for a while or used to be apart of our kinship we would greatly like to have you back and apologize for kicking you from the kinship ranks but our new policy is that if you have been gone for over a month without letting someone know ahead of time why you will be gone you will be kicked. I will be making a detailed Rules and Guidelines article for everyone to check out who is either already a kin member or interested in joining. I want our kinship to have a mix of casual and active players, I don’t want to force anyone to be a leader unless they are up for it.

Also I’ve decided on an appropriate name to change the title of our kinship to, ”The Valiant Few”. I made this decision out of my own personal interests and also as a decision made by majority rule of active players. Besides the fact that we think the name sounds pretty cheesy and cliche, no offence to it’s former creator. We also know of another Kinship that has been around for a while that is one of the only known remaining Kinships that are Christian, and they are known as “The Knights of The White Cross”. We would like to stand out from them and possibly in the future we may have an alliance with them so that’s something to look forward to if we can get ourselves up to snuff. We appreciate any help you can give us.

Godbless,

-Craigo

The Full Armor Of God.

When I think of a Christian Kinship this is the scripture that immediately comes to my mind.

Eph 6:11 NIV - Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.
Eph 6:12 NIV - For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Eph 6:13 NIV - Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Eph 6:14 NIV - Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
Eph 6:15 NIV - and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
Eph 6:16 NIV - In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Eph 6:17 NIV - Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
Eph 6:18 NIV - And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.
Eph 6:19 NIV - Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel,

It's so true and this is our goal and our witness to people when they ask us about our suits of armor or our swords. We are prepared for spiritual warfare and every day we have to take up arms against the devils schemes in our lives. We are Knights of The Prince, but more importantly we are brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of Heaven.

-Craigo, Leader.

Moving Forward

Jam 4:13 NIV - Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money."
Jam 4:14 NIV - Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Jam 4:15 NIV - Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."

This is my predicament, I want to make sure this is the Lords leading. As should we all, I'm planning on moving out to a place that's about 45 mins from where I live now but it's a big step for me because I live with my parents and where I will be moving is a big city compared to what I'm used to in rural Northern Indiana. Please pray for me that I can find God's guidance as to what direction I should take next in life. Also pray about the future of our kinship because if it's not God's will I don't want to do it. But I'm sure that God doesn't have a problem with a Christian kinship =)!

God bless,
-Craigo

James 3 Today's Scripture

http://is.gd/jxftzE James Chapter 3 is an awesome chapter. Check it out, it's a very insightful and you will feel wiser having read it I promise you. It might also convict you of some things, just a for-warning. Anyways, just another update from your neighborhood Craigo, I have been putting up "advertisements" in the ooc and regional chat channels that we are seeking new members. If you have any Christian friends that would like to join a Christ centered kinship have them give me or Riveros a tell when we are online and we can get them an invite. I will be coming up with a Code of Conduct and Kinship General Rules in the near future for the kin so keep checking back here for more news from us!

May God bless you this day!

Good Morning!

Hope everyone has had a good week this week. And I'm sure not a one of you has seen this blog yet but just for future reference I want to let everyone know that I am going to try and make posts every few days to keep us all on the same page. So far what I've found out is that I need around $13 for a name change so once I have that we can change our name but in the mean time we should be thinking about possible name changes. Send your suggestions to my ingame mail box. -Craigo.

First Post.

So this is Craigo you're leader. Riveros and I are in the midst of determining a new for this Kinship. We haven't had many active members and we're hoping to change that. We want our Kinship to be active and growing and doing stuff. I know I haven't been around for a while but I'd like to try to do my best as Kinship leader and our first order of business is a name change. I'd also like to make a real webpage for us, so stay posted and check back here often. Just set it as your homepage haha. In the meantime until I can get a little cash we will remain Knights Of The Prince. If you have any questions toss me them in my ingame mailbox. Appreciate it and God Bless.
