tonight at the Stirring, we began a new series called "Honor: the lost virtue" ...
over the past few years, I have been on a personal journey when it comes to honor ... learning how to honor my parents, how to honor the spiritual fathers and mothers in my life, how to honor leaders and how to honor other churches ...
you cannot read the Scriptures without being exposed to God's heart for honor ... Jesus teaches, "the proud will be humbled, but the humble will be honored" ... James writes, "humble yourself before God and He will honor you ... more than anything, honor is humility in action ... honor is how we humble ourselves before God ...
in America, we live in such an honorless culture ... we've thrown honor out the window ... instead of honor, we live gossip and betrayal and slander and jealousy and envy and division ... honor is the lost virtue ...
as a generation, can we recapture God's heart for honor? ... over the next few weeks, I'm praying that God would show us His heart for Honor ... that we would become a people of Honor who shape a culture of Honor ...

Sounds like a great series......I will have to listen to the podcast.
Good word last night. Has anyone told you, your preaching resembles that of an Irish man in a crystal cave? Maybe not the cystsl cave, but you do sound Irish sometimes. Maybe it's the holy spirit.
...since i put my post up before you put yours up, i should get dibs on our website's honor banner as the photo for this particular blog...
but i guess we could share too...
i'm also curious to see what the new image for the up-coming series that i advertised in my blog will be...
