no wonder there's so much hypocrisy in the church, no wonder everyone is keeping appearances in the church. On Sunday everyone will form holy holy,omo Jesu.on week days we will wear our real character

If your boss ask you to tuck in,you tuck in not necessarily because you agree with his school if thought as far as dressing is concerned, you do it because you don't want your means of sustenance be cut off.a lot of people obey their bosses they hate, despise or gossip about. They don't like his rules but they comply so that they won't be given query but the house of God is not for passing judgements. Telling people how to dress,you end up having pastor pleaser and actors in church painting the impression that they're sanctified

@Op, leaving the church angrily because you were scolded or ordered to go tuck in your shirt by your pastor is very wrong I must tell you. My questions to you..

1. Will you leave your job for another because you were scolded by your boss in front of your colleagues?

2. Will you forfeit your admission and rewrite another jamb because your lecturer scolded you in the presence of your classmates for not dressing properly to class? ( Law students know what I mean)

3. Do you benefit from the teachings your pastor share from the pulpit? If yes, why angry that you where corrected by your own pastor.

I'll will put it to you with due respect OP that it was pride that made you leave the church angrily that faithful day because you were instructed to go out and tuck in your shirt.

I am sure that you weren't the only member in church that did not tuck in to church that day. Why you? Think about it

My word for you op, please go back to the church and apologize to your pastor if truly it's just what you narrated here that made you leave. Remember prov 4:6
You never know how far your talent can take you. Humility is key to success in life

Apologize fire! Pastors have introduced their doctrine...

No pastor can tell me that nonsense too... I will call him out asap...

see you which part of d scripture did u discovered that from?

dangotesmummy:
he was embarrassed.you don't have to embarrass someone before you correct him

What stops the pastor from calling him to a private place where no one is and say brother A please tuck in.this is how we do here.I'm not trying to tell you how to dress but please you know you'll be ministering and you'll FAce the crowd.the teenagers will want to copy you and I don't want them to be distracted while worshipping God.please help us comply.that's a better way of putting it.trust me he will want to comply not because of church but the way and manner he was spoken too.correction is different from embarrassment. Leaders at whatever level should learn the difference

Well, you're right to some degree but the truth about being a leader is that you cannot always act right. While some decisions or actions can be seen as "unfair", others may be regarded as just, so to say. However, what matters most is for the fellow to simply heed to instruction.

Let me give you an example which centers on our African mothers. While I was growing up, my mother scolded me in embarrassing fashion sometimes. You're with your friends or maybe playing around and you'll hear things like: "this is why you're not serious, I wonder what your friends teach you. Come on, go inside!" Voila, embarrassing, init?! I trust you agree with me. And should I rebel? O boy, double wahala!

So I insist, obedience is better than sacrifice. Obey before complain.

THE PASTOR DOES NOT HAVE ANY RIGHT TO ASK A MEMBER OUT BECAUSE HE DID NOT TUCK-IN HIS SHIRT.

SINCE I LEFT SECONDARY SKOL……I NEVER TUCK-IN MY DRESS, because I DONT LIKE TUCKING-IN.

THE PASTOR CAN ONLY ORDER SOMEONE OUT IF THE CHURCH HAS A DRESSING CODE AND IF THE PERSON IS AN OLD MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OR IF THE PERSON IS WEARING THE OPPOSITE SEX DRESS

Bro forget about humility here. church is not a secondary which student are being checked by the teachers on how the dress, neither is it a military ground. For crying out loud , this is Christ church, a pastor has no right to tell me how to dress even if I chose to walk naked

Pastor should have been more respectful and humble himself. The man went to another church - he does not need to go to that particular church; he is newish anyway.

Pastor are not above anyone - they are servants of God; and should not be put on pedestals.

Good move! Dress as you like - you are not there to please the Pastor but God.

Op, You were wrong to have left the church because your pastor scolded you. First, I don't think you are born again, because if you were born again you would know what it means to obey authorities it is this that will qualify you to be a worker. So it's obvious you weren't properly baked. Secondly, a church like redeem for instance is full of laws and regulations hence you must be disciplined to be a worker. Thirdly it is believed that a pastor is a Messanger of God, is that how you will run away from God if he scold you..Finaly, in as much as the pastor lack professionalism, yet you are to be blamed more

He does not want to be a Worker! He is just part of the congregation and did Jesus reject anyone that comes to him?

Boss from my look of things and understanding , some people are filled with the holy spirit but for some few minutes still allow the devil to use them block other people's blessing.. if i was to be in your shoes i would have, tuck in the shirt and went into the church, after the service i go sweep my leg till further notice for the church, or still attending. no let one person hold you captive or because of that one change church, thou God is everywhere even in your heart .. ..

What Happened To Me On Sunday Service In Church


What's your candid view on this?

Recently I joined a church, I know how to play piano but not really well. The church has a standard pianist that plays literally on every church's event. When they discovered I knew how to play, they gave me the opportunity to be playing at least 2 times a month. Honestly, I didn't see myself as a church worker because I've never been to their meeting before. I only play when they tell me to otherwise I stay at the congregation. Last Sunday, I wore a shirt with a suit trouser and a sandals to church, then I wasn't expected to tuck in my shirt with a sandals. When I got to church, the pastor ordered me out of the church to tuck in before coming inside and instructed the ushers to not let me in until I tucked in my shirt. The church was still on and I got so ashamed and embarrassed. Everybody's eyes were on me during that time.

As confused as I was, I angrily left the church that moment to another nearby church.

Then I started thinking, Do we really have to tuck in our shirts to show how holy we are in church? What do you think had prompted the pastor to order me out? Do Christians have a dressing code? Will I be judged on the final day for letting loose my shirt to church? What's your view on this?

Well....there is a simple lesson to be learned ...and that is humility.

The Pastor asked him to tuck in his shirt. Not to go and kill someone, not to go and burn down someone's house...but to tuck in his shirt.

Or would you be pleased if someone in a social group you led refused to obey your orders?

Would tucking in his shirt have caused a major disaster that would have wiped out half of earth'spopulaiton?

The guy was asked to tuck in his shirt. And the way he behaved...if he behaves like that in church, he will behave like that at work someday. And then he would be in big trobule.

When you were in school...you had uniform codes. That was there to 1) prepare you for the world of tomorrow where you have to wear uniforms, like in factories, labs, courtrooms, police, etc...2) to prepare you for the fact that you are going to be under authority...and you may have to learn how to follow.

One Soviet naval officer once wrote about his experiences in Naval officer training school 'We were to be the future of the Soviet Navy, the leaders of the fleet. But before we led., we had to learn how to follow.'

We had to learn how to follow.

If you do not know how to follow...you won't be a good leader. Sorry...you can call me sheeple ....but you have to learn to be small,before you can become big.
