The Church at Hiraeth: Dress code in church and putting on God’s armour
We are currently in an official heatwave and, for this week’s Sunday service at The Church at Hiraeth, I wore a football shirt, shorts and sliders.
That prompts a few thoughts on church and dress code.
We also had a question posted in the guestbook: What does it look like in a practical, real-world sense to put on God’s armor, and what is its purpose?
Using Ephesians 6:10-18 as the scriptural base, there’s more in the video.
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
The hymn that Debby sings this week is Praise My Soul The King Of Heaven.
