How Do Your Women Dress To Church?

Interesting. So when someone is ill, how do you practically help them? Notice I said "PRACTICALLY". How about someone suddenly has a leak in their roof and they need help? Or let's go easy and someone is in a really bad place financially due to no fault of their own. How do you help them?

I can tell you some practical ways I've seen a real church work in the last month:

* hospital visitations
* very late night home visitations when a child was injured
* going out for a cup of coffee with someone who is overwhelmed as they are losing their dad
* fixing a leaking roof
* helping a single mom pay for new winter coats for her kids
* working together at a ministry that feeds the needy and homeless
* doing a food drive before the above time with the ministry to try to provide additional food stuffs for those in need
* cleaning the home of someone who suddenly had foot surgery
* working together on the home of an elderly woman (who does not attend the church but a member found out that she had no one to help her) to repair her home to make it safe and secure for winter
* sending off a home-grown missionary to Africa to work with the deaf there and around the world
* counseling a new mom through breastfeeding issues and the depression that comes from being a new mom
* individually discipling men and women in their walk with the Lord and in some cases, through addictions

This is all ministry within a very tiny church. This is where people actually see people and actually can minister to them. Where they get to know each other, can see where there are struggles, see where there are times to encourage and celebrate. I'm sorry but the ministry over the internet is limited and there is nothing in Scripture that really says that would indicate that it would be a true ministry.

 

Additionally, I find it interesting that you are speaking of how women dress to go to church - when you don't even attend one. I'd rather a woman show up in church in a bikini than have someone feel that they are too good to enter the building. At least one has a chance.

 

So it is not that all churches are apostate but that you are persecuted for going to church in your town in Pennsylvania?

 

Just a cultural note. The sandals that have just the thin straps that goes from the outside of the foot on either side and meet in between the big toe are called flip-flops here in the states. At one time they were called thongs but that use fell by the wayside and now a thong is a pair of underpants that do not cover the butt cheeks but instead go between them. Flip flops are allowed in our church. Thongs that we can see are not.
