Sorry, but you actually have a problem...and that is pride.

Remember, the pastor asked you to tuck in your shirt. He did not ask you to go and steal,cheat, lie,or do something that is dishonorable to God.

Thing about being a Chirsitan is that we have to humble ourselves, and follow what our Elder in Christ has to say sometimes.

uncle is everything OK? Pastor said go out and tuck in before coming in? Quote: go out. I it was you unko?

And to those of you saying PRIDE is written over him. Don't forget the fact that some persons can't stand embarrassments in public places. Some one is just trying to gain footing in a place and u are scolding him in front of other members. Take note; As confused as I was, I angrily left the church that moment to another nearby church

In the midst of the confusion, he went to a nearby church. Would you do same if you were in his shoes, or you would angrily go home.

What Happened To Me On Sunday Service In Church


Then I started thinking, Do we really have to tuck in our shirts to show how holy we are in church?

No. A resounding NO.

Obedience to the Lord's words and doing his will is holiness. He who does righteousness, is righteous.

[/quote]What do you think had prompted the pastor to order me out?[/quote]

He is in error. Forgive him. He knows not what he does.
Many are called. Few chosen. By the fruits of the 'many', you will know them.

[/quote]Do Christians have a dressing code? [/quote]

No. God doesn't look at the outward appearance, but the heart. Having said that, dressing provocatively is an act of the flesh, either drawing attention to self of enticing others to sin. Neither glorifies God. We should glorify God in all things we do, not our own flesh.

We will be judged according to our works (how we acted and reacted to events and people) during our lifetime, based on the content of our hearts. So if your outfit to the gathering of the brethren failed to glorify God but glorified self and/or caused to sin, you will be judged and your heart will be corrected from that sin.


The truth shall set you free.

Look op, i usually don't write on posts that are beyond first page cos I feel people won't read the comment. You did the right thing and there's nothing as pride in your action! It is same bleeped setting we have in our country that allows politicians to mess us up as they like. Was it the pastor that bought your outfits for you? Is he your father? Whatever happens to dress comfortable as you wishes? I live in the USA and I have seen pastors hit the podium countless times on jeans and tshirt, skinny jeans et all... John Gray does not even tuck in his shirts most times. Where in all Jesus's pictures did he tuck in? Brother thanks for walking out on him on my behalf!

Sometimes, the other party also needs to be considerate.
Even as I am fully in support of the fact that you have to follow what the elders says but the Elder should have done well to rebuke him in private and if he is stubborn then the second time, you reproach him publicly.

Rebuke me publicly like that, I would do the same like that guy even though I know my not tucking in was wrong as per church settings

The guy's approach was bad too

Leaving church because of shirt? Really.?

Humility is a tough lesson to learn.
I must not fail to acknowledge this. Regardless, he shouldn't have left. His mistake. But, I'll say sometimes we tend to be impulsive.... You just never know...

frosbel2:


what does 'tucking in your shirt ' have to do with the gospel ??


It isn;t the act of tucking in...but the act of submission to those God has put in authority over us.

For instance in the Bible, Jesus asked Peter to cast his net into the river...after Peter had fished for a night and caught nothing.

Now...Peter was the fishing expert. He knew his fishes. He knew that if he had caught nothing at river A...chances are he won't catch fish at that river...yet Peter humbled himself...obeyed Jesus...who we must point out..he did not fully understand ....and had a greeat catch.

How about Naaman the Syrian. Naaman went to Elisha for healing. Elisha told him to go and dip in the River Jordan seven times.

As far as Naaman was concerend....Elisha had just disrespected him. Why did he not 1) come out and meet him and do his stuff...and 2) River Jordan? Really.? Abana and Pharpahar better river pass that muddy stream!

But Naamman humbled himself...and was healed.

If Peter had been proud, and said that he knows more about fishing than some itinerant travelling preacher, if Naaman had gone home in anger ....nothing would have happened in their lives.

Being humble is a great help in our lives as servants of God.

Well....even then....tucking in the shirt is hardly a life changing decision....

When I was abroad...I was once asked by a secuirty guard at a shop to remove the hoodie i was wearing at the time. I did so cheerfully, and that was that. The earth did not shake as a result.

What Happened To Me On Sunday Service In Church
Your pastor is a good man and God bless him they say the way we dress tell who we are.

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?

A lot....it teaches him humility...which is a very BIG part of spiritual development.

You know...when I was in primary school, I did not really see the point sometimes of wearing school uniforms. I thought they were burdensome, and having spent some time in a foreign school where I did not have to wear uniforms, I wondered why I had to wear a uniform.

Until I got into University...and realised that an important aspect of many jobs is uniform. Good thing that I learned to humble myself and wear school uniform...so that I could easily wear a white lab coat in the science labs, or suit and tie to see patients!

Humiltiy is a very important part of spiritual development. Because sometimes, God is going to ask us to do strange things in our service to him. Like this Christianity that we practice. Many missionaries humbled themselves and came over to be bitten by mosquitoes ( and as a doc, I can tell you that malaria in a person that is not exposed to it before can be deadly), and suffer all sorts of illnesses just to bring Christ to us.

One of them was a sports star of the late 19th century. Yet, he left all that behind,moved into one bush African village and spent 30 years there telling people about God. He won't have been able to do that if he was not humble enough to give up his chances of a comfy life.

God uses people who are willing to be humble...in little things. Because God is Lord of your entiire life...not just on Sundays.

Sorry there is no correlation ... in american schools they dont wear school uniforms but they dont have any issues wearing it later in life ..... this has nothing to do with humility and everything to do with human standards ... in this case the image the pastor believes a christian should look like , how he believes a christian should dress ... this is arrogance
