BEGINS WITH HONOR Honor To highly esteem. Regard as valuable. To consider precious.
Who?

Elders? (Leviticus 19:32, 1Timothy 5:3,17) Youth? (Matthew 18:1-6) Everyone (1 Peter 2:17)
Why?

Because God values them (James 1:18, 2 Peter 3:9, Genesis 1:27)
How?

By showing preference (Romans 12:10) By praising others (1 Thessalonians 5:11, Ephesians 4:29, Acts 13:15) Respect is earned but honor is to be freely given. ~ Craig Groeschel The key to being promoted by God is HONOR! 2. REMEMBERS HERITAGE Heritage Those things that are passed down from preceding generations. Something inherited from the past.
Proverbs 13:22 (NKJ) A good man leaves an inheritance to his childrens children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

We stand our best chance of leaving a legacy to those who want to learn, our children, by standing firm. In matters of style, hey, swing the stream. But in matters of principle, you need to stand like a rock. ~ Anonymous
