Summary

In biblical times, honor was a big deal. To today's culture? Not so much. So why is having honor important for Christians? In today's episode, Patrick looks to 1 Chronicles 13-16 to discuss the importance of giving God the honor and glory he deserves. Read the Bible with us in 2024!

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.
0:05.0	Where we connect the Bible to your life,
0:09.0	in the time it takes to get to work.
0:10.0	I'm Patrick Miller. What do you honor? Who do you honor? I know that many of you
0:18.3	listening to this live in a Western nation like America or the UK which means that you didn't grow up in a honor-shame culture.

1:24.9	defend their honor. But that said there's at least one thing that most of us
1:29.9	honor. We don't like to talk about it. We don't like to admit it, but it's true. We honor ourselves
1:37.6	so much that we feel incensed and defensive when someone says internal desires,
1:43.0	we honor ourselves so much that we assume someone's internal desires,
