Subject: Should Women Wear Hats? |
Bible Note: Hi, Val... I don't think it is pride, per se -- although that's a component. I think it is simply how our deceitful hearts operate (Matthew 15:16-20). Ultimately we want to be our own god. Alternatively, we want to serve God in our own way ("same difference" as the kids used to say). Consequently, when someone comes along focusing on the external, all of us are happy to go along with it, since it relieves us of the responsibility of dealing with that nasty, old submission issue. So, given that I have this tendency just as much as anyone else, I have to wonder: What Scriptures am I treating this way so that I don't have to face my own heart's corrupt, rebellious nature? I do know this much: I know its bad... but I'd bet that the actual number is a lot worse than I imagine! In Him, Doc |
