Ferd, I love you but you know that, as a movement, we have a huge issue with conforming to only those things that fit our traditions. We say we are Apostolic, why is it that we don't follow Apostolic principles like caring for the widows and elderly? This was a huge issue in the first century church.
I'll tell you why. It doesn't fit what we want our church to be like. We view this sort of ministry as welfare and we are wrong. God will judge us harshly for our laziness and selfishness.
And then we whine and whine about stupid things that have no basis in God's word. Shorts, jewelry, television and the like. We're more worried about appearance than we are if someone is alone, and hurting, and hungry.
I don't for a moment believe that God is pleased.
