Everything comes from God. 8/30/15

1 Corinthians 11:1-16

 1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

 On Covering the Head in Worship
2 I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. 3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man,[a] and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

 7 A man ought not to cover his head,[b] since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own[c] head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God.

The brothers as Christ August 30th

 “But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.” 1 CORINTHIANS 8:12
If this realization were really in our consciousness — that to sin against a brother is to sin against Christ — how differently we would treat one another. Brothers and sisters, we are members of Christ. So we need to keep the precious oneness of the Spirit between us. God is between us. We are not making up or manufacturing a oneness. We are sharing in the oneness of the Father, Son, and Spirit. Their oneness is in us! We do not have another kind of oneness.
Brothers, there is a oneness of the Spirit. We can keep the oneness of the Spirit because God is between us as the bond of peace. The way you keep the oneness of the Spirit is to keep checking the monitor of peace. Is there peace? In taking the steps that you are taking, is there peace? Do not interfere with the peace. The peace between us is so sweet. The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17). Where there are no other factors but Christ between us, no legalities being imposed on us, there is peace! It is called the peace of Christ. That peace is not just a good feeling between us. That peace is a Person! He made peace. He Himself is that peace (Eph. 2:14). And keeping peace is keeping Christ between one another (Col. 3:15). That is what the church is. The church is Christ dispensing His peace between us. This is the sense in which we understand that the church is Christ.
