Pentecostal Women have Long Hair

Image
God numbers every hair on your head ( Matt 10:30 ). That much is agreed upon by all Christian denominations. But Pentecostals have a unique belief about those hairs on your head: we believe that God has some special instructions for them. Specifically, we believe that God asks males have a short, decent haircut; for the females, we teach that they not cut or shorten their hair in any way. This seems like an odd statement: that The LORD of all creation cares about your hair length. But in this blog, I'm going to tackle what The Bible says on this most interesting subject. How long is long? There is a fascinating passage in the New Testament about hair. It is found in the letters of The Apostle Paul. If you did not grow up in the Pentecostal church, you may have never heard this preached or expounded. " Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.  But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth ...

"It's Not a Heaven-or-Hell Issue"

"It's not a Heaven-Hell issue ..." Abraham : "I know that God told me to leave my extended family and not take them with me , but I can bring Lot. It's okay. It's not a Heaven-or-Hell issue." Lot's wife : " the angel asked us not to look back at Sodom , but I'm going to ignore that commandment. It's not part of the salvation plan: it's not a Heaven-or-Hell issue anyway." Aaron & Miriam : " we can murmur against Moses . I know he's the man of God, but he's our little brother and we disagreed all the time growing up. I can't imagine there'll be repercussions: it's not a matter of Heaven-or-Hell." The 10 spies : " we don't have to cross over into the promised land here and right now . We're safe, and we're free. Anyway, Moses is just a man, and this is not a Heaven-or-Hell issue." Moses : " God told me to speak to the rock and not strike the rock , but I'm going to do...

Let's talk about Dinah

Image
Years ago, I decided to read through the Book of Genesis: it was the first Bible book that I read start-to-finish. About two-thirds of the way through, I encountered a story that, in my teenage life (at that time), I had positively never heard preached or taught. It was shocking, and not a kids' story at all - and that's an understatement. This story's main figure was DINAH, the only daughter of Jacob the patriarch that is mentioned in the scriptures. For those unfamiliar with her story, I encourage you to stop reading this post, pick up your nearest Bible and read Genesis chapter 34 (or, click here to read Genesis 34 in the KJV ). I could discuss the many surprising matters that occur, but let me focus in specifically on the central character in consideration: Dinah, herself. NOT a sinner That's the first bit we have to be clear on. At no point is she pictured as a sinful or wayward girl. To me, this is the perplexing part. By all measures, she was a good daughter, an...
