Beach Service Last Night

So I wore shorts to "church" for the first time ever last night!


We gathered at Cocoa Beach and with guitars, harmonica and our voices, we began to praise and worship the Lord.

Some of the people on the beach joined us from time to time as we sang unto the Lord.


It was a nice experience and I had been meaning to get to the beach anyway, but I noticed something that hit me right between the eyes when I realized it.



Several of the leaders were NOT wearing shorts. They were wearing jeans and t-shirts. No one wore a tank top.

At least two of the women were wearing skirts.

None of the women from the church came wearing a bathing suit.


The teenage guys went into the water took their shirts off for that, but when done, put them right back on.

1 teeneage girl had a bathing suit for the water, but had clothes to cover her bathing suit once out of the water. The other girls wore shorts, t-shirts, jeans, or skirts.


I just thought it was interesting to see the actions of these Christians in this situation.

The Bible clearly states women can only swim in blue jean skirts, T Shirts with sleeves to the elbow, and tennis shoes.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
