9.22.24 Rules Then and Now

1 Cor 11 Rules 

We live in an area where the churches have women who place coverings over their hair for each and every service. Having not grown up with this demand, it is uncomfortable for me to worship in these churches. Paul is sharing not just the cultural ways in Corinth but it is to be shared every where and at every time. In my neighborhood there are women who wear a head covering at all times as well as skirts and dresses that touch the heel. What are we to do, what am I to do? Having thought long and hard on this issue, I have concluded it is a cultural thing not something demanded of me. Am I right or wrong? 

Paul’s second set of thoughts is more important; it is about how to serve the Holy Communion which is done every Sunday in our church. We follow Paul’s steps and do serve it just as the early NT church did but also our church plays music during it which is uncomfortable for me, but it is our church’s way so be it. 

How do you think about each of these areas? Share your thoughts with me.
