Questions are so much easier to ask.
One day, we are all going to know.

Our pulpit is in front of the choir loft. He had to take it off, so we could see the choir.SBG said:Why would he take it off in the pulpit? Did he get up there and pray the entire time? Obviously, he considered the pulpit a sacred place and removed as an act of reverence.

For me, it still goes back to respect. Everything I have was given to me by the Lord. I am a steward of what he has entrusted to me. He has given me shorts and T-Shirts and slacks and a suit and other clothes.
No one yet has explained why they wouldn't honor the Lord and respect Him enough to wear the nicest clothes they have (that again He provided) when they come into His house to worship Him. A pair of slacks and a collared shirt (standard dress on a golf course, no less) should not be that much of a problem to manage for church out of respect.

shaggybill said:So if any of ya'll heard God was going to be down at your church tonight in person and he was wanting to talk to you about some stuff, you're telling me that you would show up to meet him in a pair of shorts and a t-shirt? Yipes...
It's not about your appearance, folks, it's about coming into the presense of the Holiest of Holies and showing the absolute, most humble respect you can muster. If shorts and a t-shirt is the best you can do dress-wise, when you have better clothing available... Well, I guess I better close my mouth.
It's all about bringing your best before God...

shaggybill said:I'm pretty sure this entire thread has been about what people wear to church.
shaggybill said:Well... Unless my browser is really screwing this site up, the first 12-15 pages were discussing wearing shorts to church.

No one has said anything about shorts and a t-shirt.
But, I guess in some circles people think that is the only way shorts can be worn.

You tell me.billyjames said:I'm really trying to plug in. If I concede and wear a nice, button down collar and the best pair of slacks I have (And maybe even a tie and sport coat at Easter), can I still wear my Birkenstocks and still be reverent and worshipful?
reverent
adj 1: feeling or showing profound respect or veneration;
When Moses was in God's presence at the burning bush, didn't he tell him to remove his sandals, he was on Holy ground?billyjames said:can I still wear my Birkenstocks and still be reverent and worshipful?
