Fashionable Faith
Commentary
Once when I was pastor of a small church, a new couple began to attend and became quite faithful. They were new to the community and belonged to another denomination. One day someone asked them why they chose not to go to the big and successful church in town, but instead chose the small struggling church in the suburbs. Their reply was that when someone from the other church had come to them, they had said, "At our church you can put on your Sunday best and your white gloves and know that you are at home."
