CLIMBING COMPANIONS 2012
I am grateful that I have read the Bible through every year for over 25 years. Each journey is a new adventure that uncovers new treasures. I hope you will take this journey with me. We are reading the One Year Bible Plan for this year. Each day will include a passage from the Old Testament, New Testament, Psalms and Proverbs.
I have found the plan to be available on YouVersion.com. One great thing about their program is that you can sign up, download their app for your smartphone and read directly from there. If you prefer, they will email each day's readings. We will once again use the New Living Translation for our reading. I chose it because it is fairly easy to read and understand as well as quite accurate.
During the earthly journey of Jesus, he asked people to join him. Those who payed the price of leaving their old life behind got to know Him far better than those who kept their distance. One example of this is...
When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside. Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed, climbed with him. Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. (Matthew 5:1-2 The Message)
I am inviting those who attend Stone Ridge Church in Yuma, Arizona, USA, along with our friends and family from around the world to become one of Jesus' "Climbing Companions." You can come back here each day to make your comments, ask questions and received encouragement on your journey.

I'm curious about what Paul said yesterday regarding women covering their heads and then today about women not speaking in church.I've always considered these more cultural norms than biblical law, but today the statement about women not speaking in church is placed with the other guidelines for worship, so I'm confused.
ReplyDeleteLara, one of the stickiest issues I face in Biblical interpretation is where to draw the line on cultural sensitives versus everlasting truth. First, I agree with the interpretation that you have had. That said, my observation is that the head-covering is generally considered cultural and women's role is diversely interpreted. Some churches think it's better to have women stay out of public speaking roles. Others think women can share a testimony or make announcements, but not preach. Some see no restrictions at all. It comes down to where someone draws the line and the Scripture seems to leave some room for discussion on it.
