  • Pillar of Honor: Weigh In On It

    Pillar #7 - Honor

    Honor (Kavod) - “To be heavy, to give weight to.”

    Honor means assigning someone value, respect, and significance in your life.

    Honor is a divine principle that reflects God’s order in our relationships. 

    With honor, relationships flourish, communities are strengthened and divine blessings are released.

    Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV
    But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.

    2. Releases gratitude for the harvest he places in our hands.
