Jesus Had Short Hair

0:00 Speaker 1: Jesus had short hair.

0:02 Speaker 1: He who made the soul created the body.

0:06 Speaker 1: That same love of detail and attention by God went into the making of both.

0:12 Speaker 1: To declare that God doesn't care what you wear or look like is absurd, so much so that it borders on rebellion against the intricate design of the created universe.

0:23 Speaker 1: Consider this man buns, cropped or designed hairstyles.

0:29 Speaker 1: Any fashion or trend that draws attention to oneself feeds into vanity, which is a sin.

0:35 Speaker 1: That's why the Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, wrote in no uncertain terms Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him?

0:48 Speaker 1: 1 Corinthians 11.14.

0:50 Speaker 1: True disciples of Jesus are called to align themselves with a good conscience, guided by the Holy Spirit.

0:59 Speaker 1: This includes recognizing that, by God's design, short hair on men is part of his created order.

1:07 Speaker 1: Some might argue.

1:08 Speaker 1: But what about Samson or others in Scripture who had different hairstyles?

1:13 Speaker 1: To that, I'd ask do you have a specific anointing from God, like Samson, to deviate from the principles outlined in 1 Corinthians 11.14?

1:24 Speaker 1: To deviate from the principles outlined in 1 Corinthians 11.14?

1:27 Speaker 1: The truth is, hairstyles like long hair, man buns or designer cuts often reveal a deeper issue.

1:35 Speaker 1: They suggest that the person at the center of that life is not Jesus but themselves.

1:39 Speaker 1: When churches tolerate or, even worse, celebrate these trends, they reflect a faith rooted more in cultural Christianity rather than in true obedience to the living God.

1:53 Speaker 1: If we're unwilling to follow clear, straightforward commands in Scripture, what else might we be ignoring?

2:00 Speaker 1: It's often the seemingly small things, like honoring God's design for hair, length in men, modesty in women, or even avoiding tattoos, that snowball into greater disobedience.

2:14 Speaker 1: Over time, these small compromises can lead to the corruption of entire ministries, churches and individual walks with God.

2:24 Speaker 1: Look no further than modern church worship.

2:28 Speaker 1: Too often it is shifted from relevant praise to entertainment-driven performances.

2:33 Speaker 1: This decline is a striking example of how just a little yeast, just a small act of disobedience, can work through an entire batch of dough.

2:45 Speaker 1: Jesus himself said Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.

2:58 Speaker 1: Luke 16.10.

3:00 Speaker 1: If we can't be trusted with the little things in God's Word, how can we hope to handle the deeper truths of Scripture?

3:09 Speaker 1: The time has come to stop being dishonest with God's living Word.

3:13 Speaker 1: Let us repent of neglecting even the smallest of His commandments and pursue a life of complete obedience.
