Don't smoke on earth, or you'll smoke in...
This goes along with the shot glasses. Yes, Jesus s it when you smoke, but He s it more when you put the ash out on his face. Maybe that's the point, no?Sorry it has been a while. Been out for several days, may not return for several more. I had an interesting run-in with somebody at church last Wednesday that really illustrates the difference in demographic cultures. As I was leaving to go to XA, I had my laptop, a monitor speaker, and my guitar in my hands. My cap was also wanting to go with me, so with my hands full I place it on my head. Wrong move. An older gentlemen looked at me as I was walking out and said, "Didn't your mom ever tell you to take your hat off in church?" I replied, "My mom never took me to church." I think this caught him off guard, and I must admit I was irritated, but tried to play it off. Then he says. "Show some respect. After all, this is the house of God." Ok, that did it. I walked back to him and said (in a "haha" nice kinda way), "Ok, let's talk theology. This building isn't the house of God. These are [pointing to our bodies]." I'm not sure if he realized how ticked I was, but that's ok. He's normally a great guy. But it just goes to show you that there are CULTURAL differences between generations. Out of respect for his age, I relented and took the cap off. How about you? Does it offend you when somebody wears a hat in a building/church?

1Co 11:7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God
I guess if we read only this part of that verse and nothing else we should burn all of our hats...
I'm cool with wearing hats inside. I've even worn one at church. I do usually take it off at the dinner table, though.
No problem with wearing hats. On that same note, I went with a friend to his g/f's house one time with a hat on, they made me take it off when I went inside. I think I can find more valuable things to worry about than wearing a hat in church or in a house, more like where I'm going when I die :-).
