Should Christians Keep Up With The Latest Styles
The topic that I have chosen is should Christians keep up with the latest styles? A lot of times in society a culture has been created that in church you have to be more old school with the suit, and tie. In todayââ¬â¢s age the younger crowd of believers are not attracted to God through dressing up in a way that would make them selves feel uncomfortable. The argument then becomes whether or not it is acceptable for the Christian believer to keep up with the latest trends or are those trends pushing them away from God by the way they dress. Christians in todayââ¬â¢s society more, and more are coming to churches that they are taken where they are no matter how they look. A lot of our older generation has been apart of a culture that you need toâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦(ââ¬Å"The Corruptionâ⬠) If society always stayed in the mentality of sticking with what ever were done in the past then society would have a hard time advancing future generations. Modesty is based on cultural context. There are cultural differences such as the USA vs. France. (Hermeneutics) In the country we live in it is not ok to be in public nude. Then in France they are more open to things such as nude beaches. Obviously there are boundaries like that one that shouldnââ¬â¢t be ok. At the same time though we have to be aware of the culture that we are in and, how do you fit in to be apart. If you have to ask someone if what your wearing is ok then its probably not all that ok. (Christian Men) If as the body of Christ we werenââ¬â¢t willing to hangout with the people who were non-believers then no one would get saved. What if the mentality changed of always doing what we have done and we became more apart of the generation who is looking for acceptance. Now there is also a difference between being in the world, and letting the world become us. In today society we are called to live, and do life with the lost, but we also cannot let it change where we are in our walk with God. The thing about styles, and fashion trends is just because; a crowd of people in the church culture doesnââ¬â¢t like it doesnââ¬â¢t mean itââ¬â¢s automatically sinful or immoral. If you donââ¬â¢t want to be in the conversation of if your modest wear things that are non revealing.(ââ¬Å"Latest
