Once the problem of our spiritual “clothes” is addressed, the issue of our material clothes will solve itself
I realise that it is before God we are presenting ourselves, and that he has a particular affection for the poor. The problem with dress is not the material clothes we wear, but the spiritual clothes – pride, vanity, worldliness etc, versus purity, humility, charity, etc.
Mother Teresa was asked by Jesus to wear the clothes of the poor that she served – a simple sari.
Good idea but it will never happen in Georgia. In our church flip flops, jeans (tattered), shorts and general sloppy attire are the norm. (more…)
