Leviticus 19:8 (Contemporary English Version) In fact, you will be punished for not respecting what I say is holy, and you will no longer belong to the community of Israel.
Songs have been written about respect, R-E-S-P-E-C-T, “I want a little respect when you get home.” It seems that those who are the most vocal to demand respect are often the least deserving of it. Most people earn the respect given to them, a few people are in positions which we respect. The meanings of respect: to have admiration, high opinion, esteem, reverence, place value, revere, think a lot of, look up to, admire, appreciate, show consideration for, follow, comply with, obey. We all would like to be respected. Respect has two distinct attitudes; one is given freely, the other is enforced. The scriptures tell us to respect-our parents, the things God called Holy, the elderly, the Sabbath and to respect God. Many people have neglected to respect anything or anyone including God and the average Christian has followed this trend. By failing to respect we are losing our nation. We need to get back to respecting what God told us to respect.
