[Psalm 51:17]

uhm, really? Does the Lord have a dress code? I do not tuck my shirts in, cant stand it, and it has nothing to do with rebellion. That is one thing that i cannot stand about churchianity is the so called "sunday" dress code. I dont see a tucked or non tucked in shirt having anything to do with rebellion. sorry...

Does a pastor have to wear a suit and tie? The apostles and the Lord all wore what everyone wore.


Jas 2:1  My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
Jas 2:2  For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment;
Jas 2:3  And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:
Jas 2:4  Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

I know what you're saying - and no, I'm not saying everyone has to dress up in a nice suit and tie on the Lord's day(and no, I don't support any of the 501c3 entities, whether they're KJV-only or the typical mega-friendly church).

But was just pointing this out b/c throughout my own lifetime, tucking in our shirts in any place(whether in a church setting, a school setting, or even a casual atmosphere) was 99% of the time reminded us by those who look after us, even more so than brushing our teeth, putting on a smile, having good table manners, etc. Which is why I'm surprised to see the trend changing even in Churchianity with ministers on the pulpit.

With that being said, yes, I think I understand what you're saying now - maybe I should re-think this, b/c again, this is the atmosphere I grew up in.

As for the church this minister in the OP is in - there's much more wicked stuff in there to expose(rather than the debate of tucking in vs. not tucking in one's shirt). Look at this church's logo...
