Lining up to... what Jay?

Your comments did look/sound bad but...I think you spoke more truth than you realize.

Our culture relies too much on looks and appearance. Look at what the church would be missing out on spiritually if John the Baptist walked into the church wearing animal skins and he was 'used' in the capacity of general maintenance because he did not look like his 'suit and tie' pentecostal counter parts.
