What does Paul mean when he says that worship should be done "decently and in order"? In today's reflection, Andy finishes 1 Corinthians 14 by exploring Paul's teaching about orderly worship, spiritual gifts, prophecy, tongues, and the controversial passage about women speaking in church. Rather than reading that verse in isolation, Andy considers it alongside Paul's earlier instructions in chapter 11, where women are explicitly described as praying and prophesying. From a Wesleyan perspective, he explores why context matters when we interpret Scripture and why the goal of worship isn't a particular style or tradition, but creating space for the people of God to encounter God together.
