The Hem Can Be Dragging The Ground, That Don't Keep It Down

The question came up whether a dress code was needed in the church. If the spirit is there, the issue will take care of itself. Someone in a leadership role should exhibit evidence, of the fruits of the spirit. If there isn't, it's the wrong place. There shouldn't be a predetermined mode of dress, to enter into the house of the lord. Once you get there, the teaching should bring about a change. If the saints don't offer reproof and correction, they're not doing their job. This not only applies to the women of the church. It goes for the men as well. This doesn't just apply to tight short dresses, and cleavage. It goes for sagging pants, and hats inside the building too. The church is supposed to be a hospital, we haven't been charged with turning patients away.This makes me think of the Pharisees that brought the adulterous woman before Jesus. They caught her in the act, but where was the man? She wasn't having sex by herself,and I'm sure it wasn't another woman. They would have brought her to be stoned as well. They probably knew about her because, they had been with her also.They obviously wanted to hide someones trangressions. The idea not looking at her, would make the sins go away.There's a thin line between truly being concerned and being a hipocrite.Some of my most explicit sexual experiences, were committed with a supposedly spiritual woman. I wasn't a changed man then. I don't think she was truly a changed woman either. I was worldly in my desires, and she was game. She was good at playing religion, she held a position in church. She wore dresses well below her knees, and didn't wear make-up. I've know ladies that were more revealing in their dress, but much less risque in their behavior. Looks can be deceiving.We as Christians do major damage when we talk the talk, but don't walk the walk. When a woman is a Christian it doesn't make her unconcerned with how she looks.Then she is vain for a different reason. Her beauty is a testament to the goodness of God. When we always look at these attributes, as being sexually suggestive. It says something about our mindset. Maybe we should get our minds out of the gutter. Some people are provocative in whatever they wear. They could put on a pair of overhauls, and still look good. If you can't wear the same clothes on Sunday, you wear everyday. Not that you would, but could you? You should probably check your dress. You know what message you want to give when you go out. Is that the one you want to give when you go to church? What's worse, to know and not do what you're supposed too? Or not know and do, the same thing?
