‘Men And Women In Church Activities.’
1 Timothy 2:8-12.
a) 1 Timothy 2:8. Men should
pray, and not just leave it to women. They should pray:-
1- With Holiness.
2- Without anger.
3- Without argument.
b) 1 Timothy 2:9. Women in
Ministry should:-
1- Dress modestly.
2- Dress decently.
3- Dress with good sense.
4- Not have elaborate hairstyles and use a lot of gold and pearls.
5- Not try to impress with expensive apparel.
c) 1 Timothy 2:10. Women who
Worship God should be eager to do good works.
d) 1 Timothy 2:11. Women
should learn about Bible and Ministry quietly.
e) 1 Timothy 2:12. The woman’s
place in Church needs to be a place of prayerful humility. Their sharing should
never be abrasive or in pride of gender. Their sharing should be distinctly
feminine and not usurping the male leadership and authority in the Church.

‘Do Not Touch But Say.’
John 20:17.
a) Jesus told Mary that she
was not to cling to Him or touch Him.
b) He had not yet ascended
to His Father.
c) Mary was to go to His
Brothers with a Message.
d) The Message was that He
was ascending to His Father and their Father and to His God and their God.
(This Second one encourages me to speak out the Words
of Jesus Christ: Do Not Touch But Say)

Women in Bible days were to dress with good sense.
Sometimes I hear today about men with lustful eyes. It is often the way that
women dress that causes men to have lustful eyes. When I think of my Muslim,
Hindu and Sikh friends whose womenfolk dress so modestly, also the Anglican and
Roman Catholic nuns, no man would look at them with lustful eyes because they
are so carefully dressed. A part (not the whole) of the problem for men in
Church with lustful eyes is ladies who dress inappropriately.
