Ok Ill amend that to men and women wearing shorts to Church Service. My Dad does not like to see women in shorts, or really even pants for that matter, but when he sees someone in shorts at Church I have to physically hold him back. He was born in 1939. I have to agree with him for the most part, women in skirts look much more feminine and much more demure.
Our preacher wears shorts in the summer. He has dreads and a nose ring. Youde never meet a better teacher and christ follower than him. This threads getting pretty judgey.
Ah. Yes. For sure not in church. Jeans in church shouldn’t even happen.
Once I went to a seafood restaurant, dressed “decently” in shorts and a passable polo.
A black church boys youth group walked in, every single one in a perfectly ironed, wrinkleless suit, with a gleaming dress shirt, proper undershirts, matching ties, and sparkling dress shoes. Sharp to the T.
It hit me harder given how much worse they’ve been hit by cultural subversion as a whole - I almost cried out of joy - but everyone should be following their lead. An entire huge table of young men being reintroduced to the way forward! “This is how it should be!”
LBJ was a damned demon.
It also got me to notice how casual I was out in public, though. Haven’t fixed the issue yet, but it’s definitely something I try to be aware of more often.
Exactly. Who in the hell are these people squawking about us dressing fancy in public and church. Silly. And judgemental. God doesn't care if you wear a suit and tie. Ridiculousness
Encourage to stop the slide down the slippery slope of cultural degradation?
Everyone.
Don’t dress nicely so people will think highly of you. Dress nicely because we are called to be kings and priests, and should try to carry ourselves in a manner befitting that calling.
There are churches where the young women wear cutoff yoga pants to service, sexualizing both themselves and the men of the congregation, against the commandments of the scriptures because “we have been freed from the law.”
“Who are you to judge?”
For myself, I will judge righteously, as we are commanded to do, and point out that we are not called to carry ourselves that way. Please go put on a nice dress and come back.

What's wrong with casual? Who are we trying to impress with our clothing choices?
Weirdos fixated on outward appearances and having "long coats" so to speak, that's who. Pharisees.

Nice comment. Pharisees. Exactly. Maybe we should go back to fucking Victorian wigs and women tying up their dresses with cages inside lol
People love to throw that term around.
Jesus is considered by many to be relatively aligned with the pharisaic school. Go read up on it.
Impress?
Nobody.

I agree with the sexualization at church. That shouldn't be. I dont need to dress fancy in public. That's ridiculous.
