i noticed that most people attending church wear shirts and jeans. i don't wanna offend somebody here about wearing those kind of apparel. i just prefer wearing skirts for i feel that it's descent enough especilaly when it's a sacred place where into. i don't alos wear plunging blouse like others do. it seems that these people just wanna impress others and hover over their precious assets. what's your side in this?

Yesterday morning I wore a dress to church and in the evening I wore jeans. I'm not set on a certain type of clothing for church attendence, but I do try to dress modestly. As we know God doesn't look at our outward appearence, but at our heart. He knows why we come to worship, whether to be seen or to praise and worship him.

yes i agree with you. though what's inside is more important, one still need to have a dress code in going to church like what i have mentioned.wearing those plunging blouses and very short skirts only just distract others who are attending. instead of paying more attention to the lesson, people would tend to resort attention to the ones who show more of their skin. i just hope this manner will be lessened.

Yes, I wear skirts, I wear jeans and shirts, I wear what's modest and appropriate and decent in church. We can alwys wear other kinds of clothing in another place. I think those wearing those clothes you mentioned are thinking it's the most decent thing for them to wear in church. And maybe you're right too about impressing other people.

You should wear what makes you comfortable. It's a house of worship, not a fashion show. Those gathered are there to profess their love and come together in their love for their God.. not to strut around like peacocks. It's only the reason that all are gathered that matters.

So much liberty in today's church. Decency should still play a big role in our life. Our outlook should not be too offensive or encourage lust. Wether in skirt or trouser just appear decent and responsible. Yes church shouldnt be a place to exhibit indecency and it must not be tolerated. Jesus too show an action of disgust when he overturn the tables of the money changers. He said God's house shouldnt be a place where people gamble and encourages all sort of vices. I am sure Jesus too would have reacted badly toward people mode of dresses in todays church
