Seen and not heard?

Shane has been with us now for three weeks, and his Discovering your Design programme is going to revolutionise the way we introduce people to our community.

Recently, in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and Spiritual Language seminar, he made some really relevant comments about women speaking in the church, taken from 1 Corinthians 14. It really stresses the importance of taking biblical passages in context, and checking Hebraic sources.

Essentially, women are absolutely able to speak in churches. In the context of this passage (1 Corinthians 14), the word for woman is WIFE, and is talking about how wives should not humiliate their husbands in public places like churches by disagreeing with the point they are making, or prophetic words they are bringing. Instead, it would be more appropriate to voice their doubts at home.
