[GCFL-discuss] Old cowboy goes to church

Tue May 4 21:42:40 CDT 2004

And in the beginning we didn't have clothes did we?? Just asking. 
Such a big deal over what is worn to church.

    If I may offer a warning Posh. Be careful of up and donating new clothing. I have a friend who had that happened and he was so embarrassed he quit coming to that Church, because he couldn't be seen around those people. He felt that they all looked down on him with sympathy. Just an FYI. Ever since that happened, I have been very careful on how I present anything now. I don't ever want to be the one to scare someone away. Please be careful on how you do that.

    God bless you,

      Maybe alot of you didn't get a chance to look over the past couple of emails. But alot of them give evidence to the fact that we all agree that it is ones heart condition. But as been said from me, the clothes thing is what you can give whole heartedly. If I see a brother or sister who has tatered clothing for a couple of times. I would go out of my way to donation clothes to them. SHowing the love we should, also not to cause them more imbarresment if that is all they have. Because if I have extra money to spend,  I would on them then myself.

        At the church that I attend, there is a family that looks like they are dirt
        poor. They come dressed really nice, but the clothes are all worn and
        battered and look like a Salvation Army special. Regardless, the clothes
        are clean and the children volunteer to carry the cross and the parents
        volunteer to do set up, etc. It doesn't matter how one is dressed.

        getting all biblical here....do you think that Mo ses was clean and
        immaculate when he went up the mount for the 10 commandments? After being in
        the wilderness for so long? hmmm....
        Granted yes you should be clean and decent but I don't think you should be
        turned away for not being that way.
        At my chuch, people dress formal....some of the younger ones...wear t-shirts
        every once in a while....some where nice summer dresses not the whole fancy,
        fuzzy, floucy stuff...
        The only time you see EVERY one dress to the nines is on Easter and
        Christmas or during a christining of a child or confirmation....
        Let me just add, there is two homeless people who come into our church,
        dirty, smelly and they sit and listen to the service...no one turns them
        away because they are dirty or smelly...and no they can't afford to buy
        clothes...does it make them unbelivers? or have the attitude that they can't
        serve God?
        Nope....I didn't think so.
