It's time to BRING HONOR BACK to the House!For far too long we have removed Gods House from our Homes and our Homes from God's House! It's time we BRING HIS HOUSE & HIS HONOR BACK! It's time we bring HIS HOUSE back into OUR HOMES, and OUR HOMES back into HIS HOUSE!

Recently, at the C3 2011 Conference hosted by Ed Young (www.edyoung.com) at Fellowship Church in Grapevine, TX there was an explosion of HONOR IN THE HOUSE! Some have called it an HONORFEST! i LOVE iT! I started my own study on HONOR and have stolen a lot from Pastor Ed Young and the other speakers at this conference; I also stole a lot from Pastor Anthony Milas and his notes on the conference (www.anthonymilas.net).

Here are some of learnings from honor! And I HOPE TO STIR UP AN HONOR-REVOLUTION IN YOUR HOME & GOD'S HOUSE!

HONOR STARTS FROM GOD & COMES FROM GOD

My victory and honor come from God alone. He is my refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach me. (Psalms 62:7 NLT)

God is all about honor. In fact, my friend Pastor Buddy Crememans (www.buddycremeans.com) like to say, GOD HONORS HONOR!

The culture is all jacked up about honor. We don't want to honor our parents, we don't want to honor our elders, we don't want to honor city officials, teachers, authorities (such as police officers, fire fighters, etc...), we don't honor the president (not to mention pray for him as the Bible actually commands we do), and HONOR HAS BEEN LOST IN GOD'S HOUSE! It's time to bring honor back.

All HONOR COMES FROM GOD AND RETURNS BACK TO GOD.
So when you honor up, you honor all the way up to the Lord Jesus Christ! When you honor out, IT'S GONNA GET BACK TO GOD!

People are watching you and how YOU HONOR! How you honor will determine how they honor. I don't expect a guest to know our church's culture, but I do expect our staff, ministry leaders, and volunteers to learn and embrace the culture of honor!
