It’s time to live as honourable people.  A life of honor begins with choosing to be the people God says we are, in Jesus.  This life of honor is built up and strengthened as we live in ways God teaches will increase our experience of honor and respect. Here are some practical ways God's word teaches us to live with honour in our daily lives.
