Today’s Guests

Dave Buehring – Lionshare

The world doesn’t think like Jesus about honor. Often those in the world who honor individuals usually do so based on someone’s performance or achievement – a sports championship or a new record, a milestone such as a 50th wedding anniversary, a new job or even 25 years at the same company. That view of honor is not wrong but a Biblical value system has other measures of honor including character. This is because we are made in God’s image and reflect His character, and our intrinsic value because Jesus sacrificed His life for us.
