Men of Honor

What Would You Do? has been one of my favorite shows since I first saw it half a year ago.

I love watching as people stand up for what is right, not backing down because they know honor is more important than their fear.

As God leads me further through my journey, I’ve moved from His lessons of obedience and sacrifice to honor.

In my friends, on the news, in my customers, in myself—taking note of honor has become important to me.


Recently on the news I saw a story on a captain of the Navy who had made crude videos.  The clips were grotesque, the themes disgusting.  I thought to myself how disappointing to men that humor is more important than honor.  This was a Navy Captain!

Instead of honoring God, men are honoring themselves at the cost of respect.

I want men in my life who are stronger than this world.  I want men who are leaders, who love God more than they love themselves.

At this age where those of us who are single are looking at settling down, let us not settle.  Let us be able to see a true love of God in the hearts of men who pursue us.  Extinguish relationships that are poisonous to our walk.  For these men in our lives, let us be women worthy to be pursued.  Let us be honorable as we honor our brothers in Christ.  Let build one another up with accountability and grace. Let our brothers not be afraid of the cost of loving You and be a lantern to others, lighting their way to You.


Love each other with brotherly affection.  Outdo one another with honor (Romans 12:10).
