This past week in Sunday school we had a very interesting discussion on 1st Corinthians 11:2-16. In that day, a woman would wear a veil or “head covering” to show that she was under authority of her husband. Apparantly, some women were rebelling against this and refused to wear any kind of covering, and this was causing disruptions in the church. Paul writes, that by God’s design from creation, “But I want you to understand that that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.”
Question to think about (they were brought up this week), and be ready to discuss next week when Aaron finishes this section: how does this apply to our culture? Why are these roles so skewed in our culture? How do we display these God given roles in the church and family life?
I would love to hear your thoughts. You wont want to miss our discussion this upcoming week. One more question while we are at it: How has Paul’s letter to the church at Corinth been practical to you this year? Someone shared a testimony this past week to me of how a situation applied directly to his life. Would love to hear some comments….
