Unity in Worship (1 Timothy 2:8-10)

Three verses that pack a punch. God's desire is for unity within His household. Here, Paul hits up a handful of things that can threaten that togetherness. It's a good moment for the brothers and sisters back then - and us now - to check our hearts to see if there's something we need to bring to God and let His Spirit change us. 

8 Therefore, I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument. 9 Also, the women are to dress themselves in modest clothing, with decency and good sense, not with elaborate hairstyles, gold, pearls, or expensive apparel, 10 but with good works, as is proper for women who profess to worship God.
