Decorum in the House of God
1 Corinthians 11:4-7
Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.…


1. It is possible to dishonour Christ in our holiest services.

2. It is not enough to pray and preach in the spirit — some regard is due to propriety of manner and demeanour.

3. This is especially necessary in public worship, lest we dishonour Christ whom we represent before others.

4. Every true and enlightened Christian will therefore study what is decorous, as well as what is religious.

(J. Lyth, D.D.)
