Thanks for posting the words to the hymn, “The Bible Stands.” It ought to be sung far more than it is!

Today is the 50th anniversary of the death of the author, Haldor Lillenas. He also gave us, “Wonderful Grace of Jesus,” another great hymn.

Thank you. What valuable words you have written here. This is altruism at it’s best, the way of Jesus, Mary and all the apostles and disciples, then and now. How sad that we seem always to “forget” or perhaps rather choose not to act as have they and I thank you for letting others know that we cannot be “part-time” followers of Christ; we must often do what we may not wish to do, because it is right and just…because it is what He would do.
Thank you for this reminder.

Comment on Church and Clothes by Jordan Young

i don’t agree with your idea of wearing “church clothes” to church. you argued that there is no order when you look out and see people dressed in different types of clothing. that’s exactly what Elohim’s kingdom is. it’s a hodgepodge of different people. different races, different hair styles, different testimonies. God loves all of these differences. there is no need to discriminate against people for how they choose to dress. if a person walks into a church with a tshirt and jeans, they should not be looked at any differently than the man who shows up in a suit and tie.

if you are personally convicted to wear dress clothes to church, more power to you. in my home church we have people who wear suits. however, if you are not convicted, don’t feel pressured to dress a certain way for church.

Romans 14:5-8
One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord.

my personal feelings on the subject are much like phil’s. worship is a lifestyle. even corporate worship. i feel it should be seen as a lifestyle. not a sunday thing. not a wednesday night thing. a daily thing. an hourly thing. every second of our lives should be about God. do i do this? no. do i try? probably not as hard as i could. but i try. it shouldn’t matter what people wear, as much as the condition of their heart when they’re there. if a person comes in a tshirt and jeans, but is fully there in the present moment worshiping God with every breath, are they wrong? what about the man in the suit and tie who is wondering if his team is winning? is he right?

i leave you with this. it’s romans 14:1-4. (if you haven’t noticed i’m a huge fan of this book. ha.)
Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. One man’s faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

(disclaimer on romans 14:1-4. wearing certain types of clothes to church does not constitute an abundance or lack of faith. it’s just vaying opinions, but i feel these verses illustrate my point.)

Comment on Church and Clothes by Paul

Paul — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 18:55:02 +0000

I see what you’re saying, and I know it wasn’t your main point, but just to clarify, I didn’t say they need to be expensive. Believe it or not, there are those in our country who can’t afford more than rags. We have a responsibility to help them anyway. You are correct, though. The clothing you wear to a time of corporate worship greatly reflects your idea of who
God is, and there needs to be reverence for God, even in the way we dress. That does not necessarily mean a suit and tie; it just means nicer than what you would wear working a landscaping job or something like that. Something different, and nicer.

I just think we need to have more reverence for God. No, God doesn’t want us to buy expensive clothing to wear to church because He cares about helping the poor. However, I believe God wants us to dress nicely. Jeans, t-shirt and flip flops are not that. Why when it comes to God, we have no fear and have no love for Him. When it comes to man, we are on our toes. Christians need to wake up and realize what type of God we serve. I want to look nice for my Lord when going to His house of worship.
