The Anatomy of Honor

What is it that keeps love and faithfulness at paramount levels?

Empowering people is one key element of an honoring culture; the other is the ability to confront people. You have to have both or you don’t really have an Honor Culture

My friend Paul Manwaring use to be a prison warden and he says, "We don’t confront prisoners we try to calm them down”.

If we live as prisoners or powerless people, we try to be un-confrontable.
But when captives are free there must be confrontation.

Freedom requires high levels of self-control.

Light is never overtaken by darkness unless it diminishes itself.

Honor should elevates another’s status, like Jesus with children. We are co-laborers with an unlimited God

It’s easy to honor and respect people you don’t know… the bible says, honor your father and mother. Honor is tested in your most intimate relationships.

Honor is adding value to someone else’s life by coming in contact with yours

There has to be two powerful people in a relationship for honor to show up, otherwise its not honor.
