A Passionate Pursuit Part 5 Series

Contributed by Eyriche Cortez on Mar 28, 2010

The fourth reason of spiritual growth is that we will finish well.

Usually March is the month of graduations. It reminds me of what someone wrote, “It is important to start right, but it is imperative to end well.” Sadly, many people start well but end poorly.

1st Corinthians 11 is one of the most controversial and misunderstood sections of Paul's writings. We'll explore it using culture, context, character, and language to find out what Paul is and is not saying to the Corinthians and to us today.

The first thing to know about this section is that it is not about marriage or the role of women in the church. It is about having respect in worship for each other within our culture.
