I have to agree with you about Salvation!!

As to the clothing/modesty issue, I look at it this way.....I'd rather have a person in church, receiving God's Word, in a pair of shorts than not in church at all!

I, for a short while, went to a church where everyone "dressed to the nines" and looked down on those who showed up that didn't "measure up". You guessed it.......I stopped going to church, yet AGAIN!.

I now attend a church where all are welcome - shorts, sandals, what have you. It is the most loving, accepting church I've ever been in. Every week the sermon is about Jesus/Salvation and people want to come back. We are taught that it's not our job to judge others' hearts and souls but to be like Jesus was with sinners like the Samaritan woman....welcome them, embrace them and show them Jesus' love and make them want to hunger for more of his word! Lead by example and not harsh or judgmental words and they will voluntarily change.

I like to see a good looking woman in shorts but the problem is that i am thinking about her instead of listening to what the preaching is saying to try his best to help me save my soul from the hell that i deserve.
