To Love the Church Or the Individuals?
Church Marketing Sucks posted a story about a struggle that happenned in a church due to baseball caps that were worn during church services.
Having read the actual article from Christianity Today Library, this sounds a strong resonance in my heart:
“I will admit that I did not like seeing caps in church. But you are our leader, and I was willing to follow your call. You had the right to talk to the boys alone, because you are their pastor, like a coach has the right to talk to his ball players. You have made the call, and we need to stand by it. I agree with what you have done, I respect you for taking a stand. I’m with you.”
However, apparently some CMS commenters chose to only stop at discussing the attire issue per se. But again, as Kevin has said, “Sometimes something as simple as a hat isn’t so simple.”
Still I think, the most important is to choose to do God’s will. Unfortunately (or fortunately - depend on how you think of it 
), we don’t always know the 100% perfect cut of God’s will ourselves. That’s why He puts mentors in our life, I believe.
