Dressing Up for Church

But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.”

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair or gold jewelry or fine clothes,

…but from the inner disposition of your heart, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in God’s sight.

A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.

She was given clothing of fine linen, bright and pure.” For the fine linen she wears is the righteous acts of the saints.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. They must wash their clothes

…and be prepared by the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
