I Corinthians 11:15 "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering."

Something has been bothering me, especially as I see my siblings focusing so much on their hair in front of the mirror as they gets ready to go to church: women’s hairstyles seem to matter WAAAAAAY too much (as does clothing, name brands, etc.) in the Apostolic Pentecostal church today. We preach modesty in dress, but what about modesty in the aspect of hairdos as well? What about the Bible telling women not to broid their hair with gold and elaborate hairdos?
We shake our fingers (figuratively, of course) towards others for wearing even a small necklace or earrings – but we think it’s ok to put a fancy gold hair clip, beaded & dangling hair sticks, or other hair “jewelry” in our hair – and many women in the church are now adding fake hair pieces (not out of necessity due to balding, but due to vanity) . . . it’s RIDICULOUS! The latest: I have seen mothers putting fake hair pieces on their little girls! How sad is that? (Sorry, but it kind of makes me think of Jonbenet Ramsey & all those little girls in beauty pageants… we simply want them to grow up TOO FAST in our society. The church should be their safe haven!)
I’ve seen women work on their hair for more than an HOUR (literally) getting ready to go to a church service and I think to myself, “If she had spent this extra time praying instead of primping, how much more of GOD we’d feel in our services?”
If a woman is fixing her hair in an elaborate hairdo as to make others think she is beautiful as opposed to fixing it in a neat, becoming way that is modest, how can we possibly consider that acceptable in the church? if someone notices their beautiful outfit or their elaborately done hairdo before they notice the Holy Ghost glow within them or see their good works toward mankind, they have their priorities ALL WRONG.
It’s my personal opinion that this vanity withour hair is one of the reasons the Lord tells us to cover it, because women (by nature itself) feel a certain pride about their long, beautiful hair. It is our glory, after all, isn’t it? But aren’t we supposed to give God the glory in all things? (And don’t give me the ol’ “ How will others know about our glory if they can’t see it? Isn’t it SUPPOSED to show?” My answer is a resounding, “NO!” – our hair is our glory because of our obedience to the Lord by not cutting it and by being a part of His divine & proper order. The Lord himself makes it our glory, it is not by any work of our own, and you can be SURE it isn’t dependent upon how we fix it or how nice it looks. It IS OUR GLORY because God says so. PERIOD.) I Corinthians 11:15 "But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering."
The Bible doesn’t say we need to show or flaunt our glory, isn’t it enough for us to know we have this wonderful glory & then glorify the Lord by wearing it modestly as not to being attention to ourselves & our own beauty? Not to mention the pride that wells up within us if our hair is done in a particularly beautiful hairdo.
Don’t get me wrong, I think keeping yourself clean, neat, and presentable is essential, but I go to church (and especially to larger church conferences) and it seems it’s all about who can outdo whom in the hairdo department. It’s not a SOCIAL EVENT or a HAIRDO COMPETITION, ladies! We should strive for humility in all areas of our lives, including our hair.
Forget about your hairdo for a few days. Spend the extra time praying. Then go do something kind for someone else who needs it – without them even KNOWING it was you who did it. See how much better it makes you feel and how much more God will bless you!
As a matter of fact, i cut my hair last season.. and really felt guilty about it... but.. i've also learnt a lesson from it... remember always that (the hair is for covering and protection and also it gives glory unto god) but why christians(women/ladies) cut their beautiful locks nowadays? to attract people to look at their new hairdo or maybe some other reason.. that is how cutting hair can lead into the world by putting eearings, chain and other things that doesnt please God.

The Million Dollar Question

Do you have eternal life? We all will have eternal existence in either Heaven or Hell. The Bible says it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgement. On that day, you will give an account of your entire life. You must say,"Oh, I'll be alright. After all, I've never murdered anyone!" but God sees hatred as sin. For man looks at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart. You may say" Well, i've never robbed a bank." However, if you've stolen anything, even if it's not worth much, you've sinned. Every sin, no matter how common, is an offense against God who is righteous an just. When it's your turn for judgement, will He find you innocent or guilty? The Bible says for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Sin not only seperates you from God now, it also has an eternal penalty. Do you know what the penalty is? The wages of sin is death, spiritual death in Hell where you will consciously suffer forever. But the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus. This is because Jesus, who never sinned, was punished for sinners. He was brutally beaten and died a cruel death upon the cross, bearing the wrath of God. For our sake He made Him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in Him we might becomt the righteousness of God. After Jesus died, He was buried, rose from the grave, and later ascended into heaven. You too can have eternal life but you must repent and totally trust christ. If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. All your sins will be forgiven, your relationship with God will be reconciled, and He will grant you everlasting life. Today, if you will hear his voice do not harden your heart. Spent time before God in prayer. Confess your sins and turn away from them. Put your faith in christ alone to save you and surrender your life to him. Eternal life is found in knowing the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom He has sent.
