Publius Syrus, a first century BC author, posed the question, "What is left when honor is lost?" In this message we look at the honor code in the Scriptures, the command to show love, honor, and respect to others regardless of disagreement. This "code" applies specifically to authority, but certainly isn't limited there. It demands humility, love, and service to others. These qualities are desperately needed today in a self-centered culture that normalizes slander and disrespect. The church ought to model the example of Christ by showing honor, respect, and care for others. This "code" doesn't mean the church condone evil behaviors, but see the value of every human being as image-bearers of our Creator! This message is part five in the "Different" series from 1 Peter.
