by I see head covering as a “big deal!”
Some women may reply, “Sure, it’s fine for you to tell me to wear a covering since it doesn’t affect you!”
In reality, it does impact me (and every husband and father).
The husband serves as the head of the home with the obligation to teach. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 (Hey, that’s the same book that we’re studying!)
Men are also charged with leadership in the church to teach on every topic including head covering.
The first step to compliance with appropriate head covering must come from men willing to be ridiculed, laughed at, mocked, and made fun of. I can assure you that teaching this subject will get you some of this!
So as a man, if I have to teach and exhort others, then it affects me!
Men it is high time to step up!
The obligation to teach on this subject rests upon us!
If we refuse to step up and lead in this conversation, then we will be held to account for our failure.
We have a choice to make; honor what God has said or not.
God’s role of men in church (and the home) is to fulfill leadership!
This is not an opt-in assignment. God has delegated the task to us. We aren’t asked by God if we are interested in the job. He has told us that it is our responsibility.
Now it’s time to turn the question around the other way, why is this simple act such a problem for women today?
Is the concept difficult to grasp?
Is the act really difficult or challenging to accomplish?
The servants of Naaman asked him, if God asked you to do something great, would you? 2 Kings 5:13
As a woman, if covering your head is asking you to do something “great”, then the question becomes “Will you do it”?
Assuming it’s something small and insignificant, will you do that?
Head covering for a woman is either a “great thing” or a “little thing.”
Any way you slice it, it’s a God thing!
