“Who do you honor?”
(Review written for 'Honor')
What does it mean to honor someone?
The dictionary explains honor as regarding another with great respect. Not merely a positive thought about them, nor considering them kindly, but with the highest respect and esteem.
Who are the people in your life whom you honor?
I'd put my husband and parents on that list; my pastors, missionary friends & leaders, and previous mentors. They would be those who have had an impact on my life, those I look up to and desire to emulate.
When we think about the highest respect we give others, it's often reserved to the special people in our lives. In this book, the author challenges us to bestow that exceptional consideration to ALL our brothers and sisters in Christ.
“A right understanding of honour is vital to healthy churches. Its presence or absence is a barometer for humility—and God has made clear again and again that any community of professing Christians that is not marked by humility is opposed by him.”
Highly recommend!
