I will read that book. I've heard of it, but never read it. |

Thanks again! Guess you are ready for service tonight, if you have a service on Wednesday nights. LOL!

It would be hard to resist teaching this, but I planted a new church and we do not have midweek meetings yet. Keep us in prayer.

Okay, I will pray, but sometimes I wish we didn't have mid-week service. I hate fixing my hair. I wish I belonged to a hippy church, where you didn't have to roll your hair or use hairspray and mousse. I'd wear a daisy dress and a pony tail. 
Actually, and seriously, we are having tremendous services on Wednesday nights.

maybe you ought to relax the "dress code" for your services and go informal.

LOL! We dress to present ourselves to God. If I wanted to wear a daisy sundress and ponytail, I would do that at the beach.

It's OK for the beach but not OK for God?
I'm not trying to be argumentative or give you a hard time.
Maybe I spent too much time (1992-2006) at a Vineyard Church.

Probably. LOL! In the OT the people prepared themselves to meet with God. It's an exciting event and I think I would want to dress a little different than I do when I go grocery shopping, but that's just me. And we don't have to agree, because it is my right to live the way I think is best for me and vice versa.

Hey PO, when you do your personal prayer in your private time, do you also put on appropriate clothes?

We are totally informal now. I found out that "dressing up" for church never started in the early church. The early church was simply informal. But after Constantine turned his temples over the Christians, one never knew when Constantine might show up in any given building he gave them, so they all dressed up in case their church was the one for that day! Really!
And collars for ministers came from a time when the fashion FOR ALL MEN was such a collar. And the ministers simply held onto it and retained it until they were the only ones wearing it, sort of like 1945 styles were everyone's style that came and went with certain groups holding onto them and making them a dress code.
But it's certainly not sin to dressing up.
