What do you wear if you go to church?  |
|
Years ago my husband would wear dress slacks and silk shirts, often with a tie and coat. I wore dresses, always, and never dreamed of anything else. Now things are different for me. I get cold easily and my muscles began to ache. Then I have to drive myself home in severe pain. So I wear pants. Only some church people in the past have pulled me aside and told me that pants are wrong. I don't really think God cares what we wear so long as its modest. I'm thinking about buying several new pants suits so that I will feel more confident and start going back to church. What do you guys and gals wear?

1. my_january (349) | 7 months ago | Our Pastor always say that we should dress our best, because we face God every time we go to church, and we do not want to give God anything less. Sometimes we dress more when we are going for a dinner, an office appointment or a formal gathering, we should give more for God. But as what you have said I also believe that God wouldn't mind what clothes we are wearing as long as it is decent, appropriate and modest. I think what matters most is our heart- it should be prepared in worshiping him.=)

mrslisae (1098) | 7 months ago | Yeah...I mean I believe in looking your best but I don't think gentlemen should feel pressured into suits or ladies into dresses if its going to distract. Shouldn't our minds be focussed on God instead of an itchy tie or the air blowing up our skirts? I don't think its right to judge people by how they dress.

| spymom (1) | 7 months ago | I agree also that pants are fine for a lady to wear to church. We go to church to worship God, not to see what each other are wearing. If we dress appropriate that fine. If we go to church to judge what each other is wearing, we there for the wrong purpose. God wants us there with all hearts on him.

3. pitstop (2107) | 7 months ago | I believe that what we wear inside - a receptive heart and an open mind- are more important. But the way we dress also reflects to some extent our respect for the church, its members and God. Dress comfortably, dont wear worn out clothes. I have worn everything from Tshirts and Jeans to a tie and am most at home when I dress neatly. Also I donbt think we should spend too much time or effort in dressing up that we miss the point of going to church to worship and listen to Gods word. i have sometimes been so conscious about how I look at church that the sermon just whizzed past as i was distracted!

mrslisae (1098) | 7 months ago | Thanks for your responses. That church that told me pants were wrong made me feel so uncomfortable that I didn't go back. Now every church I walk into I wonder if the same will happen. But I'm cold and dealing with feelings that will show on my face if I don't feel confident. Its just easier for me. Then others will tell me that taking the easy way out isn't what being Christian is about. Sigh - too many rules...Thats why I've been staying home.

4. angeljenn (244) | 7 months ago | hello there to U...i do wear skirts, just a simple dress will do, when i go to Church...i'm the kind of person who's so very simple...i would always say that i'm just a simple Christian girl who loves GOD... Well, in your case, you wear pants due to severe pain on your muscles...i think that's pretty understandable...anyway, GOD sees the heart and not what we wear... As long as you truly worships HIM, and your heart really is toward GOD, then that would be so acceptable...it's not the way we dress that counts, it's about how we truly worship GOD and obeys all HIS commandments... In my own point of view, what really matters is the heart... GOD sees the heart and not our physical appearance... HE sees our beautiful inside virtues... So i think you really don't have to worry what other people might say to you...as long as you're focusing on GOD...and everything's gonna be alright... Just be beautiful inside and out, that's what's really important...always have faith professing with good works, trust, and believe in GOD... HE never fails, HE will never leave you, nor forsake you...stay with HIM forever...have a blessed day ahead of U...may GOD BLESS U & UR family always!!!

5. Anhedonia (1779) | 7 months ago | I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing some nice pants to church. As you say, as long as it's modest, it should be appropriate. I don't think God will care! It's funny that church people could be so persnickety. It only has to do with appearances and not spirituality. I have arthritis issues also and will dress to keep warm wherever I am.

| 6. TheBornLouisa (1) | 7 months ago | I usually wear skirts, dresses and blouses. It's what's comfortable for me in that setting. A lot of people in my church are a lot more casual than that (jeans and fishing shirts) but I just don't go that far. I can be comfortable and dressed up at the same time! I would never judge someone on what they wanted to wear to church because I don't know the circumstances behind it, and it's really none of my business. If they're their to worship the lord, I'm all for them! I think it was wrong for anyone to pull you aside and tell you wearing pants is wrong. Since when? I'd like to think we've come out of the whole "men wear the pants" era...

mrslisae (1098) | 7 months ago | Thank you for the encouraging responses. I bought myself 2 very nice pants suits, one black, one beige, and a blouse of every color they had to give me variety. I also talked with a nice lady in the shoe department. I asked her where she went to church and got myself invited. My daughter and I will go there next week and check it out. We got my daughter 2 dresses (she's a dress girl ) and we each got 2pr of shoes. Then shades, purses, good stuff, lots of fun! I even replaced my lost wedding band:) Feeling a bit more confident about next week now.

8. suspenseful (12709) | 7 months ago | I wear either a dress or a skirt and either a sweater or a blouse, but many of the ladies were slacks or pants as long as they are the dress kind and not blue jeans or work arounds. If you get cold easily, and the weather is severe, then you can wear pants. I would wear them if it was not so ingrained in me that I can when the temperature is forty below. One time it was so cold that my legs almost froze and I had my boots on as well and they were up to my knees, but I did not have a large clothes budget. So as long as it is modest and they are dress up, it is all right.
