Honor - Currency in God's Kingdom
Some say we live in the most critical, condemning, cancelling culture in history. People are easily offended and quick to tear others down. Our culture is missing the critical value of honor. As followers of Jesus, we believe that whether we agree with someone or not, everyone deserves honor. We intentionally honor others, those in authority, our parents, our marriages, those who are older than us, nature, and above all, we honor God. When we value others by showing them honor and dignity, we are recognizing the image of God that is placed on them. Let’s change the narrative of today’s world and show honor to everyone.
