Since Paul (through the Spirit) told the congregation at Corinth to behave like a man (1 Corinthians 16:13), I’d say it’s quite important for the church to be able to identify the behavior of a man.
I wonder if most men in the church of our age have enough testosterone to teach on the need for women to cover in the worship assembly? Who wants to wake that “bear”?
"We need gentleness, but we don’t need softness. The two couldn’t be more different."
Well said! Men today are soft, physically, emotionally, spiritually. We've been cowed into being 'Nice' rather than Good, Polite instead of Honest, and Soft, not Gentle.
So, we pray from 1 Corinthians 16, when Paul says we ought be Watchful, Stand firm, Act like men, Have courage, and do all in Love., that our Father would enable us to be and do these by His Spirit.

I don't think many are afraid of the discussion, but agreeing on a conclusion is pretty rare
Yes. Many perform an interesting gym routine with chapter 11 as well.
It is always easy to share all the
basic fundamentals we all agree on but it is a different story when someone mentions “the elephants in the room”.
I like how you are bold enough to step out a bit in this series.
We need healthy debate to return.
This article is so on point!

Man and Woman, he made them.
That is why a man leaves his father, and a woman leaves her mother and joins together.
