Because we give ourselves permission to dishonour people who disagree with us on social media, we do so until we annihilate them, until we communicate they have no value at all.
Christopher J.H. Wright
Christian mission must… treat all human beings with dignity, equality and respect. When we look at any other person, we do not see the label but the image of God. We see someone created by God, addressed by God, accountable to God, loved by God, valued, and evaluated by God.

If they make the choice to walk over me rather than walk with me, I’ll have to love them from afar.

The core belief that each person is beautifully unique and valuable, and that there are enough opportunities and resources in the world for every one of us to “happen”– as opposed to the lies that are not valuable and there is not enough for us all to flourish or succeed– leads us to commit to building relationships with high levels of encouragement, affirmation, generosity, and calls to excellence.
John Ortberg
When we live in the love of God, we begin to pay attention to people the way God pays attention to us.
Katherine Walden
There is a fine line between being kind to a stranger and patronizing the same person .. and you both know it as soon as the words are out of your mouth. That line has a name, “Respect”.
Elisabeth Elliot
The power of servanthood commands respect. It does not demand it.
