For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26
I have heard many say it doesn’t matter what you wear to church as long as you get there. While I understand what they are saying I will have to humbly disagree. I believe the Lord would have us to wear our best to church. We are not going to the beach, to a ball game or to the supermarket. We are going to worship GOD; The Creator, Redeemer, Saviour of the World! But yet, we throw on an old holey pair of jeans, a piece of gum in the mouth, spray some cologne on, and out the door we go. Is that really preparing to meet with the Lord; The One who sent His Son to die on Calvary for you?
So, if you were expecting the President would you not wear your best? Would you not clean the kitchen? Would you not take a shower and brush your teeth. Would you not find some “more appropriate attire”? I dare not say that some would even go in depth and clean some closets!
I believe the true heart of the matter is we respect those in positions more than we respect God, yet He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords! Hey—it’s Sunday! TIME TO GET UP, GET READY AND GO TO CHURCH!
