Title: Honor and Respect
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up. – Ephesians 4:29a
Recently our church staff revisited several core values that shape our work environment. To function as a unified team, the need for unanimous “buy-in” on several fundamental values is critical. At the top of the list? Honor & Respect for each other. This includes all the ways we talk to—and about—one another, even when they’re not around. Showing respect, honor, and kindness is possible, also if we’re upset or hurt. It’s not always easy, but it is possible. What about you, your marriage, your family, your workplace, or your team? Could you apply this to your mouth, and even use your influence and leadership to create a culture that builds up, versus tears down?
Real men build up others.
