Should I Wear A Dress To Church?
February 3, 2008
As my family and I were discussing whether or not we should move to the Sunday PM Worship service at our church, my nine-year-old daughter asked if she would be required to wear a dress? (Currently, Sunday mornings are for dresses, while choir on Sunday night calls for more casual attire.)
My daughter’s delima (as it turns out) was rooted in her belief that the Bible explicitly commands us to dress our best when we go to church. So I posed the following question to my wife . . .
Why are we to dress our best when we go to church?
Her reply . . .
“Our bodies are God’s temple. We should treat them accordingly. This also means dressing our best and being holy before God.”
To which I offered . . .
“But John the Baptist was holy, and he looked like crap.”
Her [final] response:
“Yes. But I’m not John the Baptist’s mother.”
Next Sunday, I guess we’re all wearing a dress to church.

How can you argue with that logic? Sorry, dude.

I like the way that woman thinks. I’ll have to befriend her or something!

She’s right !!! Because her mother taught her these things when she was a little girl. I’m glad to see she is holding on to her roots.

Funny that you follow this up with an entry about respect. Probably need to leave the clothing decisions to the ladies.
