But by love serve one another. – Galatians 5:13b

Long before this verse was quoted in sermons, it was lived out imperfectly but intentionally by Christian orders like the Knights Templar. Founded in the 12th century, the Templars took vows not for power or personal gain, but for service—protecting pilgrims, caring for the vulnerable, and committing their lives to Christ under discipline and sacrifice.

Though they bore swords, their rule emphasized humility, obedience, and brotherhood. Their freedom as knights was not self-serving—it was restrained by duty and love, echoing Paul’s call that true freedom in Christ expresses itself through service to others.

A reminder for today:
Christian freedom is not about independence, but love put into action.

In this week of February, we remember the final witness of Jacques de Molay, the last Grand Master of the medieval Knights Templar. Even in the face of imprisonment, accusation, and political pressure, he held fast to truth and honor — virtues that remain central to the Templar calling today.

As modern Templars, OSMTH does not carry swords or stand before kings, but we do inherit the same charge: to serve with integrity, defend the vulnerable, and stand firm in faith even when the path is costly.

May this week remind us that courage is not loud — it is steadfast. And that our witness, like de Molay’s, is measured not by circumstance but by character.
