True honor is an outflow from a heart that fears God.

An offended heart is the breeding ground of deception.

Physical growth is a function of time. No two-year-old child has ever been six feet tall. Intellectual growth is a function of learning. Spiritual growth is neither a function of time or learning, but it is a function of obedience.

True honor is an outflow from a heart that fears God.

The greater hardship you endure, the greater the authority God entrusts to you.

Offended people still may experience miracles, words of utterance, strong preaching, and healing in their lives. But these are gifts of the Spirit, not fruits. We will be judged according to fruit, not gifting. A gift is given. Fruit is cultivated.

We don't honor just to get a reward; we honor because it is the heart of God, and it is our delight.
