We are called to come to Christ just as we are. I will never turn someone away or make them feel unwanted in a church based upon what they wear, but I ask you to consider the following;
If the best clothes you have are a pair of ripped up jeans, worn out tennis shoes and a ragged t shirt, then it is entirely appropriate for you to wear those clothes to church. However, if you have access to something nicer, you should wear it as a sign of respect. This goes DOUBLE (in my opinion) for those who work in a profession wear business attire is required and wear a suit and tie (or dress, pant suit, etc) to work, but wear casual slacks and a tshirt to church on Sunday.
I understand that it's what's in someones heart that's important, but making an effort to show respect by wearing the best you have, whether it may be a deteriorating tshirt or armani, should be expected?
What do you think?
(PS, yes I know some of you are Jesus bashers and will post the obligatory anti christian retoric)
