Let’s talk about Church of God men. Specifically let’s talk about the 40 and under pastors and their haircuts. Later we’ll discuss the facial hair shadows. They are intentionally dressing to draw and attract the world. Is this worldliness?

Don’t forget the tattoos

Ok so I have to wonder why all this focus on outward appearance Charles Page? I like challenging ideas as much as anyone but it seems like a pretty strong hangup for you…
-
John exactly.
Charles
Jesus was so common those around him in his home/local town did not want to receive him.
He was common, he had facial hair.I believe the word to use here for this would be
“distraction”.
-
the good looking pastor is a distraction in the same way a good looking woman dressed immodestly on stage is a distraction.
The idea is not to distract the congregation from worshiping God. Most churches are about pastor worship.

Just pushing buttons

I thought I would get agreement from Pat on this
-
Most 40ish cog pastors consider themselves hipsters
-
Most,
I noticed you said. …. most.
and respectfully that would be your opinion.
A lesson from Moses (and a teaching in leadership training) people must be willing to follow you for without those willing to go with you, you are no leader.I think you confuse leadership and preacher worship.
I think you are trying to keep leadership in yesterday (suits, ties, clean shaven), was not by the biblical standard of Jesus (I recall his beard being blucked).
Just a thought.
We fish men.
Jesus did not fish each person He dealt with in the same fashion.Appearance changes by culture, nation, people group.
Methods change.
The message and Gospel never does change.Refocus my brother.
There are some well dressed, well groomed preachers who’s message is way off the mark.Do clothes and appearance really make the difference?
3 words, John the Baptist.
Peace my brother.
I pray for your peace. -
Jackson Vaughn Plant is a hipster pastor
Just way over 40 -
Yep too cool for school
-
Woohoo. Finally , the men!
-
Yes, most had no problem with discussing the woman! Hypocrisy!
-
now we are all hypocrites!!!
-
I have a beard and I have a nice haircut. I must be worldly.
-
Maybe if I shave my beard, get rid of the tie, button my top button on my shirt, I’ll be a little less worldly.
-
Lol just wanted to show some examples lol.
-
Brody, my remarks were not kind, I apologize!
-
You’re fine Bro. Charles. Just wanted to put a little input into the discussion. I believe we hold pretty much the same view on Holiness as it pertains to both men and women.

I remember growing up and being fussed at for not wearing my best clothes to church. Now I get fussed at for wearing my best clothes to church.
