Covering of Head, Does it matter?

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. - John 4:24

There is this controversial topic that do come up among churches. That is, should women cover their hair when praying to God?

While some believes they need to do as not to distract the angels, some believe it's not needed as God is concerned more of the heart that prays to Him.

I attend a church that women do cover the hairs although some new model of the church has dump that trend and some women worship God with their hair uncovered.

1 Corinthians 11:5 says 'But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.'

That above verse is what the those that favour a woman covering her hair use.

Those that favour a woman not covering her hair use the below verse:

1 Corinthians 11:15 says 'But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.'

The bone of contention is should a woman cover her hair or not. I will refer to verse 16 of 1 Corinthians which says 'But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.'

We don't. We don't have to be argumentative about all this, as Paul will made it clear it is not Church-like for us to argue. A woman covering her hair is a symbolic and cultural sign of respect, nothing more to it. It has no spiritual undertone. These are not weighty matters. As Apostle Paul said, we don't need to argue over this neither should it be a doctrine. Those that worship God must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth (Head Covering was not mention here).

Let us not be too concerned about the outward than the inward. See the outward matter but the inward matter more. I will continue on this tomorrow.

Good Morning to you and have a wonderful Thursday.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive. When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...
