Instead of spending time on writing such stupid posts pull at your bible and read it. Jesus cared not a twit about clothes. Zero Zilch.

We are more concerned with their hearts. Luckily the people in my congregation don't take the time to judge other people based on their clothing. I would be very sad to be a part of a religion like that.Pattiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14178795115614150791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617186417989010374.post-28084040437015927952012-02-16T19:51:05.446-06:002012-02-16T19:51:05.446-06:00I think this is such a judgmental way of thinking ...I think this is such a judgmental way of thinking and in no way is this what GOD has shown us in the Bible. I grew up wearing my nice dresses to the Baptist church on Sundays and use to think people should try to dress nice for church, like that is what mattered! Then I realized a few years ago that God wants us to worship him and gather together and does not CARE what we have on. Who cares if your kids wear a suit or shorts (not that a polo is too shabby, good lord) or you have on your finest. I started going to a non-denomination church that (he grew up baptist and catholic) is the largest church of it's kind in the US. It went from 80 people to 3,000 every Sunday in 3 years. We have church in theaters. They welcome people off the street to come in. People from all walks of life show up to worship together. People wear jeans, jerseys, shorts. Jesus, preached to the sick, the needy, the poor, the thieves. Do you really think he cared what they wore or what we do today. I totally disagree with this post and pray you and the person you quoted will see what church is really all about. Maybe it will help you in other areas of your life. www.simplechurch.tvKamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08906517351210804091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617186417989010374.post-16382845908011446542012-02-16T18:57:43.113-06:002012-02-16T18:57:43.113-06:00I always wanted my children to act that same way a...I always wanted my children to act that same way at home, at play, and at church.

Holland's talk was towards the older crowd specifically, not towards little children. My little boys dress in their polos and nice khaki shorts, which is appropriate attire for a 3 and 6 year old, these are not 'play clothes'. We make sure their clothing is clean and unwrinkled. We style their hair. We teach them respect and reverence. They love going to church and they love talking about Jesus. I can assure you, they do NOT dress like this at the park, or beach. Holland spoke of the beach when he talked about women wearing flip flops to church. The beach and playground is where little boys wear their ugly old Spiderman tshirts and mismatched camouflage shorts that they love, because they are very independent and they wish to dress themselves. They do not dress the same at either place, nor do they act the same in either place. It is disheartening that people still think this way.Little Lovableshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02372045299073262480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617186417989010374.post-21657362526811838392011-11-08T12:43:09.357-06:002011-11-08T12:43:09.357-06:00I agree and I love their church outfits!I agree and I love their church outfits!Jason & Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084590762722094422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617186417989010374.post-72120856420193298162011-11-06T23:12:17.030-06:002011-11-06T23:12:17.030-06:00I think we should strive for the best, but I'm...I think we should strive for the best, but I'm more concerned with people coming to church than what they or their kids are wearing. <br /><br />But I also figure we would have a smokers' corner if all of us were really being solid missionaries. <br /><br />Dress your kids in their fabulous outfits (I want a boy next simply for the church clothes :) ), offer your hand-me-downs to those you are worried about, then be happy they went through the effort of getting to church.Geevzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283250161706433702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617186417989010374.post-81033690000717749822011-11-06T21:38:48.485-06:002011-11-06T21:38:48.485-06:00Good on you Emily.

A lot of our church clothes for Daniel are second hand, or on sale, but we want to prepare him for dressing respectfully when he holds the priesthood. I think little girls are so cute in their beautiful dresses, shoes and hair bows, but there really is something very special about seeing a little boy nicely groomed and dressed for church.Michael Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539995992711328752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7617186417989010374.post-79374391857815004572011-11-06T01:34:33.100-05:002011-11-06T01:34:33.100-05:00thanks for calling me to repentance...
