1 Cor 11 Head Coverings

I'm bummed we missed last week. I sure would have liked to hear what people think about head coverings, as well as eating and drinking judgement to oneself with the Lord's supper.

Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying, disgraces his head. But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, disgraces her head; for she is one and the same with her whose head is shaved.

~ 1 Corinthians 11:4-5

I just went to bible.org to read about head coverings, and found this article: What is the Head Covering in 1 Cor 11:2-16 and Does it Apply to Us Today? It lists the most common positions on this and then writes of each one in turn.

Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord... For this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep.

~ 1 Corinthians 11:27, 30

Now, for all the times I've said "warnings (with consequences) don't really have an effect on me," I'll admit this warning about taking the Lord's supper in an unworthy manner makes me nervous. I'm not aware of doing so, but it makes me want to think about it very carefully. And sickness and death as a result of this - do our churches ever consider, if many of our members are sick or dead, that we may be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord?

I'll probably hit you all up at dinner tonight for a recap on last week.
