1 Timothy 2: 8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling
Paul continues this train of thought by demeaning women. He tells us that women should be submissive, never speaking in church. Our redemption will come through continued faith and through our children, presumably mainly the male ones.
I chose this verse because of the church shooting in Charleston. I'm very impressed that the Christians were welcoming to their assailant. They truly showed the world how Christians behave. But Paul is wrong about women....
Prayer: I'm so sorry for the families and friends of Your servants, killed while following You so faithfully. This verse brings a mental picture to me of the martyrs, so accepting even as evil invaded Your home. Bring comfort to all those who are suffering, especially those who were hurt by this invasion of worship.
Amen
