I have seen the most hate filled people that looked straight outta the "we dont smoke and we dont chew, and we dont run with the girls that do" _Desoto ad perfect from the 50s, _[which seems the age of conformity coincides with the "standards",] bunch that complain about anything sung in any minor key because church songs "ought notta have none of them BLACK keys on the piaanny used" with their fake lovey "bless your heart" and "we so glad to see you, come in here and let Jesus clean that beard off your face", tone - hiding behind a smile only the Grinch would be proud of.

AND...

I have seen some folk with a street swager that paid their dues riding in the back of the bus because of the color of their skin, that would hug a brother in christ that was a casual bearded white dude, like they also lost their mother because to them - you beleive- and you are their brother.

Any guess which church is growing.

I know an AME pastor that preaches straight 3 step oneness, with a beard. I know many women of the Lord with shorter hair and pants, that are prophets and have more love for people than I can skake loose out of my whole self.

I have loved folks that loved me - even at my growly worst- that could read what was going on with me because of the gifts of the spirit in them....one of whom was a divorcee..."gasps" /s.

And I watched my wife, now departed for her reward, take the lot in life that Diabetics with kidney failure are dealt and turn it into a soul winning positive right until that last night in the hospital.

All the suits ties, clean shaved, and ugly-dress wearing in the world will not save a single person. But ...."If you love me, keep my commandments "....."And the second is like unto the first, Love thy neighbor as thyself.

Sometimes I think there is a generation that thinks the old ways lead to looking like old people. And would condemn anyone that would propose otherwise. Evidenrly you are one of them...

Good day sir...

Love is good and right but love doesn't take the place of modesty and Holiness standards, they should accompany one another its not one or the other. Women prophets with cut hair and pants? not on the coldest day in hell. Let me guess with makeup and jewelry too.
