clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility,
gentleness and patience.” Colossians 3:12 NIV
Hi and welcome to my personal Web Site.
Regarding the quote above from the Holy Scriptures, which is The Great Light in Freemasonry, it mentions gentleness and this is many times a difficult thing to practice day in and day out. However, even though it is difficult to do it is something a man should do his level best to continue doing in order to be a Gentleman.
Being a Gentleman means being a Gentle Man. I’m certain you can think of someone you know who is a gentle man. Being a gentle man does not mean he is easy so-to-speak; he is firm and strong where it counts, but he is gentle where it counts too.
When you think of a man you know who has and demonstrates this, all to rare quality, I think you will agree that this man is the kind of man you would like to be associated with, and possibly the kind of man you would like to use as a role model, or a man to emulate.
There is a Psalm that tells us how to be a Gentleman, it is Psalm 15: 1-5
“1 Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary?
Who may live on your holy hill?
2 He whose walk is blameless
and who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from his heart
3 and has no slander on his tongue,
who does his neighbor no wrong
and casts no slur on his fellowman,
4 who despises a vile man
but honors those who fear the Lord,
who keeps his oath
even when it hurts,
5 who lends his money without usury
and does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
He who does these things will never be shaken.”
Finding men who are Gentlemen can be hard to do sometimes, but a search for Gentlemen can be made easier if a person were to look for them in places they tend to congregate and hang out. The best places to look for Gentle Men who are real Gentlemen, Men who are firm in their values and hold a positive outlook on life is in a house of worship and in a Masonic Lodge.
If you are ever in a community that is new to you and you want to meet some fine people who reside in that community go to Church on Sunday. There you will meet some fine people, and some of the men will be Freemasons and some of the Women will be members of the
Order of the Easter Star, as well as some fine Christians.
I am now building this site, and I hope to have some interesting articles you might like. I will be including things that are important to me, and I will also include some of my publications: T.F.S., (which stands for 3, 5, & 7;) Masonic Matters; and More Light or Mehr Licht.
This is the first page; I’m working on the rest.
Sincerely and Fraternally,
Ed Halpaus
