“There is no honor among thieves?” Adage

Do I choose to honor what is honorable? Inner city gangs give respect to the most violent warlord. Such honor is not honorable. If we are to give someone or something our respect, we should take care that the object of our loyalty is worthy of it. There are times when withholding honor is the most honorable thing we can do.

“Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.” Rom.13.7 “Conversations Within” ts 11/11/2019
