Should Christians dress differently for services than they do for work or every-day living?
1. Specific rules for what is modest apparel... a. To do so would be to do what the Bible itself does not do b. Rather, to offer the general principles that can help the Christian who desires to
please God rather than self or man 2. When faced with the question "What shall I wear?” may I suggest the following? a. Prayerfully consider whether your adornment in any circumstance reflects your profession of godliness, and the principles found in God's word b. Seek counsel from those who are mature in the faith, whose senses have been exercised to discern good and evil (cf. He 5:14) Do this, and one is more likely to fulfill that goal set
for us by the apostle Paul, that we be... "...blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world" (Phil. 2:15)
