What does it mean to be male and female? Are there other genders besides these two? Where do we look to determine what gender a person is? There may be no greater hot-button topic in our day then gender. Strong feelings and opinions can quickly devolve into arguments, misunderstandings, and name-calling. We need God’s Word to cut through the noise to be able to understand not only his design for gender, but also the goodness and beauty of his design. We face challenges not only in how we speak to and defend the truth of God’s Word in relation to gender, but also in how we seek to personally live out what it means to be male and female in the midst of our homes, churches, and culture. While the specific situation Paul was addressing in 1 Corinthians 11 may not still apply in our day, the biblical grounding and principles for what he is saying speak directly into this challenging area in our day to help us live as male or female for the glory of God and the good of the world.
