Seven Biblical Honor Codes

46 “Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? 47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. 48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. 49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.” Luke 6: 46 - 49



Love and honor are reflections of each other.  Our Father is honored when we consider him first - especially in the following arenas:
1) general perception
2) degree of humility
3) marital status
4) sobriety
5) sexuality
6) generosity and stewardship of money, business, & property
7) respecting subordinates and others (integrity)



CUP TWO: DELIVERANCE
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows.

CUPS THREE AND FOUR: PUROSE AND FULFILLMENT
From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.  Luke 12:47-48
