Mini Skirts To Church?
Author: Verona Raymond

Have you noticed that many of the new churches today allow
their congregation to wear pretty much what ever they want to
church? Even some of the pastors wear Hawaiian shirts instead
of suits and ties. Some members might arrive wearing jeans with
holes in them and flip-flops. Others might be sporting t-shirts
with that have controversial statements on them. Would Jesus
approve?

I used to attend this church back in my hometown that had an
unspoken dress code that didn't allow the women to wear any
long pants to church. Only dresses and skirts that fell far
below the knee. The men only wore dress pants and shirts, or
suits with a tie. I really liked this church, but I was finding
that trying to get ready to go was really tough for me because
somehow I could never put together the right clothes! I
normally never wore dresses that length so my selection was
difficult at times unfortunately, even though I did
specifically buy the clothes just to wear to church. Okay I'm
not a fashion model or anything, but I just wanted to fit in!

I admit, maybe it seems like not dressing up might somehow be
disrespecting the Church and maybe even God himself. I have
thought about that, but I really think that there has to be a
happy medium somewhere. If you're going to attend a church, it
seems right or should I say "proper" to dress in a way that
would be pleasing to Jesus. Imagine him sitting in a pew next
to you. Wouldn't that really bring the appropriate attire issue
into perspective? But my theory is as long as you dress
respectfully and you are there to learn the good word of God,
then it's what is in your heart that really matters.
