Church is more than dressing up. God calls people his church. He was in dirty sandals....would you have judged him?? It should be your relationship with him that matters. The first church was not a fancy building. God wants your love ....even if you are naked!!
I’m sorry. What are you talking about?
But our dressing nicely when we go to church is to say, God, I honor you.
Doesn’t have to be fancy, but dressing like God matters is what it reflects.
Dressing like someone just threw something on when theyu have time to choose something a little better can say a lot about that person’s attitude towards coming to church to meet someone who is King of the Universe.
Most of us wouldn’t dress in highly casual clothes to talk to our bosses much less a dignitary, because it shows lack of respect.
But for some reason, we don’t think God deserves this type of respect.
I totally understand what you are saying and I couldn’t agree more. However,I’m not sure I like the idea of a church of naked people....YUCK.
All these comments about outward appearances is disturbing and sad. So many believe that going to church every Sunday is your ticket into heaven. That is not what Jesus taught. He said He is the only way, truth and life. I go to church to get rejuiced, to get refreshed in God’s word.
When I was looking for a church, I didn’t “look” at the people or even the building. I wanted a church that taught directly from God’s word and where I felt I could be authentic in my worship and with people who were genuiune and real. I wanted a Pastor who encouraged us to know Jesus on a personal level. God wants us to know him, not just pretend our salvation is secure because we happen to set foot into a building.
Jesus had nice enough clothes that the Roman Legionaires all wanted them.
