Well, I let my kids wear jeans and t-shirts, and yes one even wore his baseball uniform. I guess I'm raising my kids the wrong way. I think I'll tell that to the one who helps with the prayer group every morning at his high school.
High school isn't a church,but it would also be better if kids didn't wear jeans and a t-shirt to school too. JMO
Here's some food for thought... :)
In a large city in a very large and beautifully decorated and expesnively adorned church a service is being held. The people there are well dressed in their fonery and they all are wearing the best jewelery. A man walks in late. He appears a cowboy to look at him. He has on a pair of clean, but well worn almost worn out jeans. His top is clean, but ragged. He has a beat up western style hat on his head. When he enters there is silence, even from the pastor. People look, some stare. Some children giggle and some even point. Still others just look away.
When the man sits down, people scoot over away from him.
The pastor, who was giving a sermon, walks down from the pulpit. He walks over to the man and whispers to him. "Sir, I think you should go home, and talk to God with your heart. Ask him how you should dress when worshipping in this church."
After the service, the man goes home and prays.
The following week he returns to this church. He is in the same ragged shirt and worn jeans that he wore the week before. He still wears the tattered hat. He is greeted again by looks of disdain and children's giggling.
This time, the pastor is not so quiet in addressing this man. He walks down from the altar and approaches him. He says, rather loudly "I thought I told you to talk to God and to ask him how you should dress to worship in this church."
The man tips his hat in respect and says to the pastor, "Well sir, I did. I went home and I prayed with my heart and asked God how one should dress when worshipping in your church."
The pastor looks at him and asks, "And what did he say?"
The man looks around and replies, "Well sir, he said he didn't know. He's never been in your church."
