I have heard my parents and grandparents talk about some of the older standards that were had (hose, shoes, wearing red, radios, etc.). Many things have changed with time. However, many of the basics that influenced the men of God at that time are still valid today.
I grew up in what would have been a moderate house in a more conservative age, but by the time I hit my early twenties, we were one of the most conservative churches that I knew. I grew up believing in holiness, and as I sought after the things of God, I began to see what He did and did not approve. I fell in love with the doctrine of separation and distinction, and I have no desire to depart from it.
