Honor is tested in our most intimate relationships. Honor happens when we live together, believe together, pray together, fail together, and win together.
Honor is the only environment where freedom and love thrive. Without honor, we will feel the need to turn ourselves into legalists and offer external threats.~Danny Silk

Blame is simply giving away our power, power to direct and change our own lives, to someone else. When we blame someone, we have said, "I cannot change unless you change. I cannot forgive unless you change. I cannot love unless you change."~Danny Silk

"Do not give your time to the things that drain you, or the things that bring you down. Make room for good things to begin. You are already enough!" ~Quote from book, Fight On

If you were raised with a fear driven mindset based on the belief that you can control people and they can control you, then you will naturally perceive God as a controlling punisher. But the Tragedy of the fall actually proclaims that God does not want to control us.~From the book Keep Your Love On

"Women are not a sexual buffet for the gratuitous appetites of men. They are the image bearers of God, and crown of His creation!" Benjamin Nolot

Idolatry is expecting something other than God to give you what only God can give, and you end up having to depend on yourself and your own efforts to produce something only God can produce. In essence, you're playing God, and that's exhausting. ~Pete Wilson, Empty Promises

"It’s time for a serious intervention in masculinity. It’s not enough to not be a rapist. You don’t get a cookie or a Nobel Peace Prize for that. If we want to end the pandemic of rape, it’s going to require an entire global movement of men who are willing to do the hard work required to unpack and interrogate the ideas of masculinity they were raised with, and to create and model new masculinities that don’t enable misogyny. Masculinities built not on power over women, but on power with women."

My favorite verse is in my signature.

 

[ImaginaryDay]

"I may be very furious against adultery, or theft, or immorality of some other kind, which I do not happen to practise myself, yet my own sins may cry out against me.... That is a very cheap sort of virtue; bullying other people’s vices. The easiest thing in all the world is to be constantly denouncing popular faults; but to wring the neck of one of my own bosom sins is a harder work by far." - Charles Spurgeon

If you desire the praise of man, you will fear man. If you fear man, you will serve him-for you will serve what you fear.~John Bevere

“The community of believers—the church—is called to be Christ’s Easter body in a Good Friday world. Through the church, the risen Christ is already alive and at work in our pain-filled, suffering world.”

-Kenneth C. Haugk in “Don’t Sing Songs to a Heavy Heart: How to Relate to Those Who Are Suffering”
