Thanks for your comments Karen. It’s great to hear when things are timely. I’ll be updating this blog daily with more information on how to honor even when there’s sin, a disagreement we fight through, unrepentant sin, and a few more thoughts on honor. Any questions you have will help me know how to make what I’m writing even better. It’s much appreciated.

RevTrev,

Thanks for the timely (in my life, anyway!) discussion subject. It hit me rather squarely between the eyes, as it is a subject that I struggle with a lot–especially lately. God calls us to love unconditionally, despite all circumstance and what’s happened in the past. That’s why there is so much emphasis in the Word on love–particularly because it’s difficult to do.
Thanks for the relevant discussion.

Thanks Bernardina,

Respect and Honor can almost be interchangeable in a lot of cases. But I tend to think respect is for actions and honor is for a person. I don’t need to respect what someone does, says, or how they act, but I still need to honor them.

That’s an un-thought-through response, just one that came to my mind, so please forgive me if I come back tomorrow morning and correct myself…

… I can respect words or actions… I have to honor the person… Can I honor words or actions? hmmm… maybe this needs to be thought through some more…

good day Rev. Trevor . I had just finished reading your writings about Honor. By the way, what is the difference between the word Respect and Honor in accordance to the spiritual sense of application. Thanks a lot .
