1 Corinthians 11:2-13:13

Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God. (1 Corinthians 11:13-15)

Paul the Apostle is writing about the traditional practices in place in the churches he helped to establish and/or to strengthen. His arguments in these verses of scripture sound similar to some of the things I have heard said in churches, during the past 50 years, namely, "Which hat shall I wear to Sunday School and church?" and, "When are you going to get a haircut, boy?"

So, God, what would You have me learn from Paul the Apostle today?
