clothes

I have a pet peave. I hate it that some people think it is so darn important to get dressed up for church. Seriously, God is not that impressed by our finest clothing. First of all, Church is the people, God does not live the building, so thearetically, if we are wearing our best for God, and God actually has made his dwelling inside of us, perhaps we should get dressed up every day. Our bodies are the temple, not the big building with all of the pews.
Also, Ive heard it said that it is all about giving our best to God, including our clothing. But since when does God use mans styles and trends to determine what is best. Can anyone honestly say that wearing a fine suit and tie impresses God. As if God sits up in Heaven talking to angels about the nice Armani suit that Jack John wore to church on Sunday. Truth I is, God can see right through the suit, right through the flesh straight to the heart. I havnt read anywhere yet that God wants us dressed up when we meet together. I have read a few things in the Bible about the way we dress. More so about women dressing decently with propriety and such.
So here is the thing. If you like getting dressed up, go for it, but dont think for a secomd that you are impressing God. God wants your heart, your soul, and your life. Not your expensive clothes. And if you do want to please God with your clothes, ladies, stop showing off your bodies.

    Does this mean I don't have to wear a tie?

    yes, that is what that means. It means you can wear whatever clothes you want. The important thing is that you are clothed with Christ. And maybe pants are important too.
