Honor One Another: How to Lead

"Now, that word in Romans 12, where we started—that word "honor"—it's a Greek word. It looks like the word "time," but what it means is "prize." It can mean "value," it can mean "respect." It can mean "honor," and it can mean "recognition." I really like that word recognition because I think that gives us a good perspective of what honor is. Recognition is an important piece of honor—it's recognizing the value of another person. That's an act of honor, and it can be done in all sorts of different ways. It can happen in the form of gifts, it can happen in the form of words, it can happen in the form of service. And because honor is an act of recognition, honor doesn’t make something true; it’s a recognition of what is true. Honor is saying out loud – whether in word or in action – what is true. It’s acknowledging what is true." Ben Webb, Associate Minister
