Re: Should standards be an issue when witnessing?
Most small churches are small for numerous reasons; 1] that Pastor's ability to lead and to grow 'leaders', 2] teachings major on the minor issues, such as; dress standards [putting the proverbial cart before the horse], and 'works' of the church as an act of belief or loyalty to the Pastor and not belief that Jesus is who he says he is, and a lack of love for souls [hence the us four and no more]. When God's hands are tied by the limitations we place on him, all people see is us and not him.
The Bible teaches,..."When the devil, like a flood, comes against us, Jesus will raise up a standard against him", not us raising a dress standard but we fight under the banner/standard of Jesus voictories not our own.
