I bet some big name preacher found out his conference sermon was not working.

We are Standard bearers of the truth....
We dress this way and we look this way because we have the truth...
You write the rest of the story.
Dress has always been aligned with having the truth.
When for the most part standards were nothing more then a calling card in a group of sectarian Pentecostals.
Not having standards is not the point.
Preaching them as part of salvation is the wrong point.
