Understanding Honor

What is honor? And in what way does God honor us? Honor plays a prominent role in Scripture, yet we frequently misunderstand it's definition, role, and import. In today's episode, Toph explains what honor is, horizontal honor and vertical honor, the difference between honoring God and being honored by God, and more. To explore the topic further, we would recommend Honor, Patronage, Kinship & Purity, by David deSilva — https://amzn.to/2EG9woU.
