Fifty years ago...

My question is,, since the world has lowered the bar so much, why is it ok for the church to? We are in this world but not of the world. I don't see the culture changing so much that it would require the church to start doing any of these things.

I still don't.....

watch or own a tv
go to the movies
wear slacks
dress out for gym at school
dance except in church
go to ball games
"arch" my eyebrows
cut or trim my hair
wear any make-up
go swimming in anything other than your everyday clothes
to listen to certain radio stations except for gospel radio and talk radio once in a while for news.

most of those are man-made rules or extensions of Biblical ideas into manmade rules that furthered the Biblical idea behind the rule....
