MODESTY OF WEALTH (#Preachersnsneakers)

This week Sandy and Elisabeth talk a little more about the subject of modesty. Discussion includes the extremely popular Instagram account @preachersnsneakers, why that should matter to the modern church and what Paul's message on modesty really was for the early church.

Our discussion of Paul's message to the early church is pulled from 1 Timothy chapters 1 & 2. Yes the entire chapters. We won't be adding any specific quotes in these notes because taking brief statements from Paul's letters have led to massively out of context dress standards and unBiblical ideas on modesty, clothing and wealth. Instead we go into an in depth explanation of the purpose, context and instruction that Paul gives us. Spoiler alert: It's NOT a checklist!!

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28

CONCLUSION

Does God really care if your pastor wears $3,000 sneakers? Yes, yes He does.

I beg you to shepherd God's flock for whom you are responsible. Watch over them because you want to not because you are forced. This is how God wants it. Do it because you are eager to serve, not because you want money. 1 Peter 5:2
