I don't have a lot of glory left, but I am getting more and more beauty everyday.
Since we are commanded to do all things for the glory of God, I actually think this is a good topic to think about. And the question should not be, "Why should I grow a beard?" because I don't have a choice about that. The question should be, "Why should I shave?"
Perhaps men have perfectly legitimate reasons for shaving, but since the Bible does say
something about it, it is a question worth asking.
BTW, how do we come to conclude that the Levitical law against 'marring' the beard was ceremonial? Not arguing, just curious.
