Mini Skirts To Church?
Have you noticed that many of the new churches today allow their
congregation to wear pretty much what ever they want to church?
Even some of the pastors wear Hawaiian shirts instead of suits
and ties. Some members might arrive wearing jeans with holes in
them and flip-flops. Others might be sporting t-shirts with that
have controversial statements on them. Would Jesus approve?
I used to attend this church back in my hometown that had an
unspoken dress code that didn't allow the women to wear any long
pants to church. Only dresses and skirts that fell far below the
knee. The men only wore dress pants and shirts, or suits with a
tie. I really liked this church, but I was finding that trying
to get ready to go was really tough for me because somehow I
could never put together the right clothes! I normally never
wore dresses that length so my selection was difficult at times
unfortunately, even though I did specifically buy the clothes
just to wear to church. Okay I'm not a fashion model or
anything, but I just wanted to fit in!
I admit, maybe it seems like not dressing up might somehow be
disrespecting the Church and maybe even God himself. I have
thought about that, but I really think that there has to be a
happy medium somewhere. If you're going to attend a church, it
seems right or should I say "proper" to dress in a way that
would be pleasing to Jesus. Imagine him sitting in a pew next to
you. Wouldn't that really bring the appropriate attire issue
into perspective? But my theory is as long as you dress
respectfully and you are there to learn the good word of God,
then it's what is in your heart that really matters.
