[Re-Blog] A Complementarian “Samurai” Man Emerged!
Dear brothers and sisters, today, I’d like to share my joy with you regarding the Christian Head Covering in 1 Corinthians 11. A few weeks ago, a Japanese brother wrote to my blog, saying that by reading the HCM articles, he was convicted that the Christian Headcovering is applicable for today (though he was not sure, at that time, that this command should be applied to ALL Christian women or not.)
Then, this evening, this same brother wrote to me and said as follows: I made a small leaflet regarding my personal conviction of the woman’s headcovering practice and distributed it to my wife and several other sisters in the church today.
Wow! Isn’t he brave? Isn’t he like a 21st century “samurai”? Yeah, I think he is! Not only this brother, but I’ve also witnessed other courageous and valiant complementarian brothers who stand firm on the Bible doctrine.
And I strongly believe that there must be many other potential “samurai” brothers in the churches across the globe whom the world is waiting for their emergence! We need more brothers like him who dare to testify the Bible truth gently and fearlessly.
As regards to the recent phenomenon called the “feminization of the church”, the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood said as follows;
Walk into the average evangelical church in America, and you will likely sing lyrics such as “I want my life to be a love song for you, Jesus” and “I want to fall in love with you.”
Then you might hear a sermon encouraging Christians to be “intimate” with Jesus and attend a “care group” where everyone is expected to share their feelings.
Such tactics might appeal to women, but they are at least partially unbiblical and push men away from Christianity, according to Randy Stinson, executive director of The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (CBMW) and assistant professor of gender and family studies at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (SBTS).
“Where are the men in our churches today?” Stinson said in a lecture sponsored by the SBTS theology school council March 29. “We have a crisis going on in the local church. Number one, men aren’t coming. And number two, when they are coming, they’ve [sic] marginalized, they’re being passive, they’re being pushed to the side.”
I believe that the recovery of the practice of the headcovering will reinforce and further the Biblical masculinity and femininity. And it must be one of the strongest testimonies of the 21st century Christian churches to the gender-confused world that God exists and that there is a creation order of men and women which reflects His infinite wisdom and beauty!
