It's unpractical to many who are living a humble and as a result a often dirty life. The most God serving people I know, are working hard in jeans and such and sometimes don't have time to clean up before service due to life happening. My most recent pastor, cattle farmer. Would sometimes have to get messy before even coming into the service on regardless of the day. He was working a full time factory job while running the farm to help the church folks and pay for the old barbershop building we were renting as home base to have services and go to the poorest areas of town immediately after every service, and give the gospel. (The barber shop was there already so easy walks). Guess how those people are dressed? Guess how it comes off with the 'long coats'? It's the ghettos man...We serve God, and it gets us dirty, I go to Church to serve and work for Him. Not to look good for the already saved folk. I ought to just wear overalls as it's more fitting, cause I'm there to work, serve and get dirty. Not play society.
Well said. We live in a country town and we wear Jean's and flannels to church. We are a born again christian church. Our pastor is a black dude with dreads and a nose ring. Nicest most knowledgeable human I know pretty much.
