I'm sure all the prophets and apostles and Jesus himself had a beard. I think it's time for OPs to cut loose and have beards.

Could that be worldly corporate culture in the church?

Most modern churches are exactly that, incorporated bodies, corporations.

The real church isn't an incorporated organization. It's a living organism.

Is it his leadership/platform? Or is it the Lord's?

Ah, so glad we house church and were delivered from those kinds of problems.

The pic below is the church I attend. That's me in the stripes on the right. Lol

it's a beautiful thing to see God's people gathering together. You look pretty clean shaven in that pic #justsayin. I've never had the pleasure of being in a house church, although this past Sunday we were in a Holiday Inn Express conference room. I gotta tell yah though, it would be hard to run the aisles in that room

In all seriousness, I think there would be a few things that I would miss being part of a house church. I love worshiping together with God's people. I love when it gets hot in the middle of a Sunday night worship service, and I've gotta go back to turn the fans on. I love to hear God's word preached with passion and zeal. I love to see people in the altar repenting of their sins and starting a new life in Jesus Christ.

Clean shaven look was brought into Judea through the Greeks and the Romans.
Alexander had his army shave for the purpose of fighting. I've have never heard anyone make a comment that clean shaven look was homosexual. I've heard the opposite. Matter of fact their is something called Gay Bears. What ever you all do, don't by any means Google it. But just take my word for it. Down here in Fort Lauderdale and Miami the Gay Bear group all wear beards.

The transvestites shave their beards so that they can pass for women.

There's nothing wrong with any of that. House church sees more prostration, clapping, and weeping than running. But, I'd never judge one who chooses to take a lap, be it around the pews, or around a house. Lol

Yes I'm clean shaven in the pic. I raz some about the being clean shaven thing, but I'm not serious. Lol
