Well, people will dress up nicely to see the Pres or to out to a party but, they won't dress up nicely to see Our Lord.
Sad...

(smacks forehead with palm of hand) And all those prayers I have thought and spoke over the last fifty three years on behalf of my family and friends were of no mind, because I was not in formal wear.
I guess I will have to buy a suit to wear each and every time I offer prayers, for whatever reason, and especially when I am in the great outdoors, His domain. But then, he really would never listen if I said or did anything, that was not in the physical confines of a church, with my siut on. </ sarcasm >

I only noticed 1 hat in the congregation and that was at our 2nd service.

That's because God is looking at the place that matters, the heart. All of the "dressing up" in the world won't conceal that area.
Remember, as far as "dress up" goes, God is not an affluent westerner.

Isn't that the truth!
How you dress has been proven to influence how you behave. Dress sloppy and you behave accordingly. It's sad that people will come to worship God dressed like a Goodwill clearance sale yet as you say on secular situations go dressed to the nines.
One thing is for sure ... God isn't fooled. He sees what's going on in the heart. Dressing down shows little respect for the King of Kings.
