Fundamentals - Culture Of Honor - Part 3
The Faithfulness Principle - Faithfulness to our relationship outweighs the importance of any offense between us. The value of the relationship is greater than the conflict of the moment. I will not allow any problem to override the principles by which we live.
Proverbs 27:6 – “Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.”
Problems in the form of misunderstanding and differences of opinions will arise from time to time concerning issues that are usually minor, and will try to divide us. Therefore, it is important for us to determine beforehand that our relationship is the most important thing and outweighs our problems and issues. We must always be strengthening our relationships by letting the people we love, walk and work with know they are important to us. Concerning the essentials we must strive for unity, in the non-essentials we will allow for liberty, and in all things love will prevail.
Questions To Ponder:
Is this problem or your concern a threat to our relationship? Will you value the relationship above the non-essentials in order to walk together in unity?
