I would say so. As long as it is set aside for church and displays good taste it should be fine.

Well, not on a "tie crusade"... I would rather it be a pilgrimage in the footsteps of Jesus. Ties just happened to lend themselves nicely to these clothing/adornment threads.

As for donations, I wont ask for any. I must try to learn to trust to God for my means. Which is much easier said than done in my experience this far.

I didn't understand the EGW statement in the same way at all. How far would you take such a principle? Would you separate ties? Shirts? Shoes? Socks? Where do you stop?

I think she is saying that we shouldn't worship with common work clothes which would not be appropriate for church, not that clothing worn on Sabbath cannot be worn on other occasions, or vice versa.

Tom: "I think she is saying that we shouldn't worship with common work clothes which would not be appropriate for church, not that clothing worn on Sabbath cannot be worn on other occasions, or vice versa."

Tom I think your post says it well.

Thomas if you are starting a crusade against ties...where can I sign up or make a donation against the evil, oxygen robbing, adorning, worthless, expensive, obnoxious...nooses?

What did Jesus and the Disciples do for Sabbath? Change there clothes to "Sabbath Clothes"?

Dan on the Beach,
Obviously they didnt change into "Sabbath Clothes". They were in the middle east, and wearing robes(for lack of a better word), and they were not wealthy, so what they had on was perfectly fine. In other words, use whatcha got
I dont have a suit, or anything fancy like that, but I wear the best I can cause its a special time I have with God.
God Bless,
Will

Amen Will!
I do not own a suite either. Although I could get one at one of our many second hand stores. I think I will get one soon though. They have very good looking clothes for very little money. I wear about 90% used clothing. Most of my clothes are very expensive if they were bought new, but I am to frugal (cheap) to buy new, when almost new or new can be bought for $2-$4 each at the thrift store.
-I wear clean and good styled clothing to church but I have never made it a point to set aside clothes just for sabbath use. I would be hard pressed to find more than 1 or 2 people in oyur congregation of about 45-55 that would do so, and the only 2 that I can think of are about 85 years old!
-Happy Sabbath, and I am again thankful that He looks upon the hearts,and not upon our clothing.

Greetings Everyone,

First, dress reform is about honoring our Lord and not us honoring our own opinion on what is good and not good.

Dress reform is for setting a standard, to raise the banner high for the Lord. It requires both male and female to submit themselves before the Lord even in dress.

We (my boys and I) have adopted wearing long sleeves within the Church. Which means either we wear sweaters or jackets. All our clothes are modest and are meant not to bring attention to ourselves. I wear dresses that cover my knees into the middle of my calves.

When have the opportunity to attend church, we are coming together because God has called us. So because this is His place and His calling, we honor Him according to His good will. All the while remembering this is the precious Savior that died for us.

Pehaps it might be wise to learn the dress reform first before deciding what types of clothes to wear and when to wear them.

Your Sister in Christ Jesus,
Cheri Fritz
