These are still my thoughts. You don't have to agree.
If you don't that is certainly your choice.
Good Day!!

I was just expressing my thoughts, I am not upset at all. Maybe I should have thrown in some of those smilies.

What difference does that make? There aren't dress code rules listed in the Bible for those on the platform anymore than there are for those on the pews.

And there are others who think if it isn't coming out of their chimney then it ain't smoke.

Pilate himself asked Jesus-

"What is Truth?"

What is a pastor supposed to do with a short haired woman who wants to participate in the choir? Wait two or three years on their hair to grow out to their waistline? Make them wear fake hair so that no one sees their hair doesn't meet the guidelines? Refuse to let them sing or participate in services? I suppose some would do those things. Thank God that my pastor isn't like that. As long as the person has come to repentance, and they are attempting to live right, they are allowed to sing in the choir at our church. I'm sure you don't approve, so you don't even have to reply to tell me how wrong that is in your eyes.

Your right, the standards are for EVERYONE.

Thank God for His Word. He told me how we could identify HIS STANDARDS. How do we SEE THEM IN OTHERS? SEE GALATIANS 5:22-23.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

WHEN YOU SEE THE FRIUTS, YOU SEE EVIDENCE OF A LIFE LIVED IN ACCORDANCE TO GOD'S WILL.

Here one must be in the church six month and be living for God those six months. A woman can not be cutting her hair and be on the platform. If a woman prays through and doesn't cut her hair for six months then she could sing on the platform.

Those on the platform must be living right. No long haired men, or women who are cutting their hair, or anyone who owns a TV.

Plus our women wear their hair up on the platform. Not a sin , but looks better.
