Sometimes i don't have the time to shave, and sometimes i just prefer to look scruffy.
That look is all the rage these days, especially when you combine it with longer hair and worn out clothes.

It's like the cool kids these days don't even even try to look decent anymore.

Your thoughts please?

I believe men should keep their hair short. Paul thought so. I’m not aware of any rules saying you have to shave.

I shave about once a week, it's a pain to do it every day. I don't think God cares.

Eldar Srolls much?


I've got the manly beard of gizzleness! You can go either way, but beards have a longer, more complex history.

I also find them quote dashing on most gents...

If you want to look and decent then shave it but i know some people look good with their mustache/beard on. And some guys refuse to shave it because they look young without it. My dad has a mustache and i think he looks good with it. It really depends on you.

I think if God had the choice of a suit and tie man sitting in his pew disinterested, vs some scruffy guy in jeans and a t-shirt and flip flops who's engaged and learning, which do you think God honors more?
Dressing up for church is a culture issue. I don't dress up to pray, or read my bible or listen to a sermon at home, i don't need to do it to go to a building either.

I really don't think it matters much to God, sure everything matters to him, but I think it's more of a custom thing, back in the Bible time they didn't shave. It is up to whatever the guy prefers. I will say though, in my personal opinion, guys look way better shaved.

Sigh. Back to this argument about whether God looks at the heart, or whether appearance doesn't matter at all.
Well, if you feel at peace with turning up scruffy to church, go for it.
No, it's not all about appearances cos they can be deceiving. Someone in an expensive suit mightn't have the heart like someone who can't afford shoes.
But if you have the money, clothes or razor -- and inclination -- then you are going to give Him that effort at the least, instead of looking like you just crawled out of bed to get to church.
Yes, He looks at the heart. Yes, you can do what you like at home. Yes, some people just go to church to be seen and show off their outfits.
Keep your balance and there shouldn't be an issue.

Actually, the only scripture i can think of mentioning shaving says not to shave. LOL

Oh what a silly hedonistic society we live in.

"There are two types of people that go around beardless; boys and women, and I am neither." - old Greek saying

"He that hath a beard is more than a youth; and he that hath no beard is less than a man." - Beatrice

"I'm doing a film now with a lot of guys as well, so at the end of that I will be growing a beard." - Keira Knightley
