"We are witnessing perilous events never before witnessed, in any age. And, it is disturbing,
many words are put forth in hope of conveying what is felt that people want to hear...( politicians being notorious of same tactic )
'tell them anything for self acclaim, and to be on my side'.
And, this is precisely the mind set of untold 'preachers', for the sole purpose of sucking in the hapless souls that are honestly
seeking some type of reprieve in their quest of God.
Rarely are my thoughts put forth in this forum, as the word of God shall be upon each with diverse interpretations. So being,
perhaps none are right or wrong, I simply disqualify myself as one that claims to know my way is the only way.
Each must make a choice, and choose their own path. A sad observation, being that so many pursue endless dialog about
the word of God, yet appear, by attitude and behavior, of no apparent testimony of how God's word has helped change their lives
in a positive manner, by applying the 'word' in their own life. And, I understand the premise of spreading the 'gospel'.
And, I also understand to be an example must surly require more than merely reciting repetitious scripture to a lost soul...
this being a profound will of God, to bring in and help lost souls.
By the grace of God, my personal spiritual 'awakening' experience, has put my life on a spiritual journey, now over two decades
ago, that has turned my life around to knowing, born again is a renewed look at my life, and by the Holy Spirit bringing
remembrance of striving to live under God's 'principles' of life, here in the now...such simple things as love, goodness, kindness,
gentleness, self control...etc. etc. And, I have found what sounds simple, are the hardest challenges each day, striving
to get right by God's 'principles' and myself...this alone being a full time endeavor...believe it.!
( Just my thoughts from, 'this side of the glass'.........Praise God!" )

This well-written articulated post gave me a certain measure of comfort and hope. These may just be your thoughts but they merit serious consideration.

It is indeed the profound will of God to bring in and help lost souls. It is also His expressed desire to do so.

I do sense that the Holy Spirit is comforting and guiding you in your own unique repentance process. Yes, the simple things because as Jesus has stated, His yoke is easy and His burden is light that we chose to carry. Regarding examples, yours is an excellent one in the transforming power of God in ones life.

I will see you on the other side of the glass but as for now there is still much work to be accomplished with a willing heart and the grace of God.

if you join the choir arent they supposed to give you robes or clothes to wear anyway.
so then you dont have the excuse of wearing your own rags, and you are identifiable as a member.

The salvation army has uniforms. But I dont know many other churches that give out clothing, although Ive seen some sell t shirts like rock bands do at concerts.

...I never heard of the apostles caring about what clothing you wore...
Because they did not have to deal with inappropriate clothing. And modest clothing is urged in Scripture.
