Most churches today have accepted the words Do This in Memory of Me (Luke 22:19), yet found it in their hearts to reject the words, Wash One Another’s Feet. (John 13:14) The main excuse for doing this, and rejecting the latter teaching, is that foot washing is merely cultural, and we don’t need to do ancient cultural practices. All we have to do is be hospitable to one another.
This brushoff of a command should seem strange considering many millions in the Church have practiced foot washing continually to the present day, although with different understandings of its value. Stronger still, when we realize that the washing of feet is not a mere demonstration of ancient behavior, but a command of the Lord, one which He also explains, it is a teaching to be obeyed, not to be dismissed. In expressing the humility we should have, and in expressing the cleanliness we should pursue, a fair-minded person could call it a sacrament.
Does your church dismiss foot washing because Jesus didn’t really mean us to do it, or do they dismiss the practice because they think it stinks?

Like other essays I’ve written, this started out as a letter to a pastor regarding the Bible and theology. In this case, I write on the modesty and simplicity of the Christian life, and how it clashes completely with cultural practices like wearing make-up or jewelry, dying hair, and surgically altering the body. I end with a reminder of what the godly Christian woman does with her mornings, rather than staring at the mirror and covering her face.
Christian modesty is rooted explicitly in 1 Peter 3:3-6 and 1 Timothy 2:9-10, as well as in the humility and simplicity we are taught to have. Our respect for how God made our body, and rejection of altering our body, is also rooted in natural law from Genesis creation and Romans 1.
The Christian woman is adorned with her heart, and the Holy Spirit. She doesn’t need make-up on her face any more than she needs spray paint. She is a beautiful woman because God made her that way.

The speaker emphasizes the importance of seeking wisdom, especially when facing spiritual opposition and challenges that may come from Satan. Using Paul's experiences as an example, the message urges believers to rely on God's sovereignty and continuously seek more wisdom. Wisdom is defined as knowing what to do, say, and when to act, in alignment with God's plan. Through biblical references, the speaker highlights that wisdom is something to desire, ask for, and expect from God. Proverbs 4 serves as a reminder of the value of wisdom in navigating life’s battles.
In this passage, the speaker reflects on Paul's extraordinary journey to testify before Caesar, emphasizing the sovereignty of God in guiding Paul's path. Despite satanic opposition and numerous trials, God works out His plan, sending Paul to Rome. The message underscores the importance of trusting in God’s plan for our lives, even when facing fear, spiritual attacks, or personal hardships. The trials Paul endured, including imprisonment and threats, serve as a reminder that through faith and trust, God can turn even the most difficult circumstances into opportunities for His glory.
