When I was a kid, my best was blue jeans and the only pair of shoes I had. Others in the church had suits. That was their best. I remember the pastor preaching on it. If you own better, yet show up in shorts and flip flops, you're taking it for granted. That's not your best.

I really feel it's symptomatic of society at large today. Everyone addresses the world from a self-centered point of view rather than having a what can I bring to the table attitude. Am I here to worship or are we here to worship?
