Thoughts on Head Coverings

By -

  The mention of ordinances or traditions (Gk. paradosis) in verse 2 does not invalidate this section as only a cultural custom and not a commandment. In 2 Thessalonians 2:15, Paul tells believers to “hold the traditions [paradosis] which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.” In Colossians 2:8, Paul cautions believers lest they follow “after the tradition [paradosis] of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.” This teaching about head coverings is not a tradition of men, but a teaching for believers. It is supported not only by cultural traditions but also by other biblical truths (verses 7-10). The relationship between man and woman is the same as that of Christ and man and that of God and Christ. In all of the relationships, there is a leader and a submitter. There is not a superior and inferior (verse 12), for Christ is not inferior to God, only submissive. Men are to pr...

Bible Reading Chart

By -

Hopefully, you have a plan to read the Bible as we start this upcoming year. I have used many different reading plans. The Bible in a year (both Genesis to Revelation and chronologically), with a little of Psalms and Proverbs each day (or not), a "harmony" of the Gospels, just one book, and topical plans. I have several other shorter reading plans you could use as well.  This year, we decided to encourage my 12-year-old son to read through the Bible and that my husband and I would read with him. We thought that it would be too much pressure to read it through in one year, so we settled on reading one chapter a day.  I made this Bible Reading Chart so we could keep track of what chapters we have read. All you have to do is put an x over the number of each chapter as you read it. That way you can read at your own pace. You don't even have to do them in order. So, print this out here  and start your 2021 with a resolution to read God's Word.

Bible Verses for What A Beautiful Name

By -

While I initially resisted this song due to its repetitive chorus (basically epitomizing the 7-11 stereotype of modern Christian worship), it won me over.  First of all, the verses are powerful, filled with references to God's Word.  Second, the choruses are true.  The name of our Lord is beautiful, wonderful, and powerful.  Finally, the psalms are filled with songs that are very repetitive.  (I wonder what critics of modern worship think of Psalm 136 and all those "For His love endures forevers?") What A Beautiful Name by Ben Fielding and Brooke Ligertwood Verse 1: You were the Word at the beginning One with God, the Lord Most High. John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Hebrews 1:1-2  God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom als...
