Heads Up!

No one can serve two masters. — Mt. 6:24, Luke 16:13
I just read an interesting article by a William Welty about 1 Cor. 11:2-16, which concerns head coverings. I found the link through another article of his called Does Nature Teach?, as part of the ISV Bible’s website. This topic is overdue for the kind [...]
