Yes, I'm not ...Thanks for your comments LotharBot.<br /><br />Yes, I'm not condeming anyone who isn't able to dress up for God. But, as you've stated, shouldn't a Christian at least manifest an outward respect for God? If a Christian complains with the statement, <EM>I came to praise Him with my soul, not with my clothes.</EM>, then I would respond with, "So, purposely showing up naked would be okay?"<br /><br Rustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649535070603621577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955622.post-1103624077787379872004-12-21T02:14:00.000-08:002004-12-21T02:14:00.000-08:00About 4 years ago I discussed this topic with my t...About 4 years ago I discussed this topic with my then-girlfriend (she's now my wife.) We'd just gone out on our very first date, and since I'd flown some 1200 miles for it (we met online, and this was our first face-to-face meeting) I thought the least I could do was dress up real nice and take her somewhere fancy.<br /><br />We were also studying through Leviticus at the time, and trying to LotharBothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06806302628374941715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5955622.post-1103438516691266422004-12-18T22:41:00.000-08:002004-12-18T22:41:00.000-08:00Thoughtful writing, Rusty.

This goes for the way we live every moment of our lives, not just during worship at church.<br /><br />People still dress up really nicely when they get married, don't they?

I do want to make some more comments, but with only one week until Christmas I doubt that you'll see any until afterwards.

However, I rest assured that the topic will not fail to come again at some point. Yet it appears you are a man after my own heart, for this issue of worship has been a topic near and dear to for at least the last 10 years.<br /><br />I'd have to say that I agree with nearly all that you Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
