Re: What Would You Say?

They really enjoy the services, and his children are getting involved and have made some good friends there.

The problem is that his wife wears pants and see nothings wrong with it at all. He hopes that someone doesn't approach his wife about it, because she is very strong in her opinion about it! She wears dresses to church, but that is the only time she does. It hasn't become an issue yet, but he feels that soon it may be an issue. He called to ask what he should do!

What would you tell him?

I would tell him to be very very careful because one day those social relationships will lead them into the church community and culture. Some would say that is not a bad thing, however, if the culture and the community drive a change in behavior instead of true and intellectually honest conviction, then it is nothing more than putting on a rubber nose so you won't feel weird while riding all those little bicycles around in a circle with your friends.

Yea, I just said what you think I said...
