Do Paul’s instructions about head coverings apply today, since he appeals to creation, not culture?

“We cannot assume a New Testament command applied only to the first-century church if the command is rooted in the order of creation itself. From one of our live events, R.C. Sproul considers the controversial subject of head coverings in corporate worship.”

Covering the Web: Edition #4

Covering The Web

“Covering the Web” is where we shine the spotlight on content about head covering or complementarianism that we did not produce ourselves. Each edition includes articles, videos, photos, as well as e-book deals relevant to our movement’s mission. Links are not endorsements.

  • MUST READ: Must Women Really Keep Silent in the churches? (The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood)
    “What happens if a husband prophesies, and his wife is a prophet as well? Is the husband supposed to be subject to his wife during the judgment of prophecies? Are husbands and wives supposed to suspend male headship during corporate worship? Paul’s answer to that question is a clear no.”
  • The Wise and Industrious Wife (Ligonier Ministries)
    “Every godly husband knows the value of a wise and industrious wife, so it should not be surprising to find that this is the kind of wife that God commends in His Word.”
  • Humility and Obedience: My Experience with Christian Headcovering (Wholly Holy Living)
    “From the moment I humbled myself before God and prayed for Him to destroy the walls of pride separating me from fellowship with Christ, I began to experience more and more desire for humility, a gentle and quiet spirit, and biblical submission to my husband as my spiritual leader.”

The following are a list of limited time e-book deals which are on the topic of biblical manhood and womanhood. If you don’t have a Kindle device, you can install their free reading app on your computer, phone, or tablet. Prices may vary per region.

Principle vs. Custom (Renewing your Mind Broadcast)

On October 14th, Ligonier Ministries broadcasted “Principle vs. Custom” by R.C. Sproul. In this video, Sproul spent the entire 30 minutes speaking about the topic of head covering.  You can watch the broadcast below. If you’re can’t see the video click here to watch it on their site.

Here’s a description of this video from their website:

Looking at various customs described throughout Scripture, how are we to understand the application of them in our modern setting? Is there deeper meaning rooted in these teachings, or are they simply cultural issues? Dr. Sproul helps us recognize the difference between temporal local customs and universal principles in the Bible as he wraps-up this study of biblical interpretation.

From the teaching series Knowing Scripture by R.C. Sproul.
