In my eleven years of pastoring, I've seen well over a thousand visitors, none of them who didn't wear shirts. That would be awkward, I'll admit. But shoes? No problem. We had a teen guitar player who would frequently play barefoot.

When Chuck Smith started reaching out to the hippy movement, hundreds of them came into his church and nearly all were barefoot. The board demanded that Chuck require shoes because the oils of the feet of the hippies were ruining the carpet. Chuck told them to buy new carpet and leave his hippies alone!

Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention!

This coming Sunday we're going to require every person to do 50 pushups before they're allowed to enter. I will be preaching to 12 people. The others aren't serious about God.

I always used to hate it when someone would defend their moronic "standards" by saying, "Well even at McDonald's they have a dress code for employees."
