Theology Tuesday: Women and Head Coverings
Did you know that in 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, Paul says that women should wear head coverings, like hats, in church? If you had never heard that before, you may now be wondering why we don't do that in most churches these days. If its in the Bible, why don't we follow it? Somebody recently asked me this question and my honest answer was that I hadn't studied this issue a whole lot.
I asked Christy for her opinion and she said she wasn't sure. We decided we would have to look into it and we both decided that whatever the Bible convinced us that it was saying was what we would do. With a smile, Christy said, "Cool, I may get to go buy some cute hats!" So, as I lay out what I've found, please have that same attitude. Be willing to follow whatever the Bible says, rather than making up your mind first and trying to excuse away what the Bible is saying.
