Sunday Best

I have become increasingly disturbed by what parents let their kids wear to church. When I was growing up, I was taught that one was supposed to wear their "Sunday best" when they went to church. After all, you are going to worship God and I believe he deserves the respect of at least wearing nice clothes to do it. Parents should not let their kids come to church in their jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers! Put on a collared shirt for crying out loud! What's even more disturbing here in Pittsburgh (I'm sure it happens elsewhere as well) is when I see kids (or even adults) come to church in football jerseys. Even if I liked the Steelers (which I don't) I would still find it disrespectful. You have the whole rest of the day to wear your jersey. Don't do it at church! Church isn't a football game, it's where you go to worship and reverence God. There is no reverence in putting on the first thing you pull out of your drawer.
