A lot of folks thinks it’s trivial to honor ones parents or elders in the family or in church. As a matter of fact some have no respect at all for parents or elders. If honoring parents for example asking their guidance on life matters, seeking direction or blessings or approval to do certain things, did not matter then why did The ALMIGHTY GOD our FATHER command it? There are blessings specific for honoring parents and believe me you want these specific blessings.
