Just don't run down the 57-year-old woman in the spaghetti strap mini-dress who is standing in the isle.

I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this subject!

I believe modesty is a reflection of a humble heart.

Not to worry the "holiness" patrol will remove her, taker her to the altar and scream at her in tongues for 15 minutes...... for mini skirt mama's sake I hope they have breath mints.

I never said anyone was judgeing what people wear to church, but I do not like this casual attutide that some have. Shirtails hanging out, sloppy looking. One can be neat and weat the best they have. Is God not worth that?
My wife and I dress very modest and we dress nice. We dodn't look like we got up out of the yard from doing yard work and went to church.
Our clothing is modest and nice and neat.

You are judging! At least those people are in church. Who cares what you like or dislike. Once again you look on the outside and God looks on the inside but of course you will be judged as you judge.

YOu have your beliefs and I have mine. I am sure I will not shange your mind and you certainly willnot change mine.
I would not go to a church where they dressed imodest (didn't follow holiness standards) or they dress sloppy for church. I wasn't raised that way. I dress better to go to walmart than some do to go to God's house and that is a shame.

Do you put on your best clothing (suit, tie, dress shoes) right before you kneel down and talk to God at home? A church building (what you deem the house of God) is no more special than a quiet place in the corner of a darkened alley or in the comfort of your home. ...i'll tell you what i'm ashamed of....people who limit God's power to one specific group of people and a specific place of worship. God is bigger than that....at least mine is anyway.
