For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.
(Galatians 1:10)
Yes, PastorFashion.com is every attractional pastor's dream. After all, ever since they did away with those bulky, dominating pulpits, the pastor's ensemble is so visible. And let's face it, no one wants a frumpy pastor.
The line between worldliness and godliness isn't always apparent, though it becomes clearer when we spend more in the Word than in the pages of GQ. For while it's not a sin for a pastor to arraign himself in Armani, it's infinitely more important that he adorn himself with the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:11).
I'm glad that TGC finally caught up. Now, if only they would offer their thoughts on the project I was considering back in February when PastorFashion.com launched:
Well, I hate to be a copy-cat, but I am greatly intrigued by Young's ingenuity. That is why I am pondering the idea of starting a similar website. BloggerFashion.com would offer tips and tricks for all of you fashion-challenged basement-dwelling opinion givers. Let's be honest, it's not easy to truly "rock" a pair of shabby sweatpants and fuzzy bunny slippers, but BloggerFashion.com would show you how. If the idea takes off, we may even expand into offering hygiene tips, such as sharing some of the best ways to remove the Cheetos stains from your fingers.
Of course, now that summer is rapidly approaching, BloggerFashion.com would have to expand its line beyond sweatpants, to include T-shirts and drawstring shorts. Send your ideas my way! And now, please enjoy your week in review (kind of):
"We need to prepare for a serious stage of persecution in this country. The question isn’t whether it’s coming. The question is whether we are ready." Michael Kruger remembers the unpopular Jesus.
David Jeremiah appeared on TBN's most recent Praise-a-Thon, extolling Paul Crouch and encouraging people to send their money to perpetuate the work of the aberrant Word-Faith network.
Just what we need, a Jesus video game. Really disappointing to see Darrell Bock of Dallas Theological Seminary endorsing something like this.
Christians today are in a battle, not of weapons, but of truth. Remember the words of the apostle Paul:
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)
And do not forget the admonition of Jude:
Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. (Jude 1:3)
If you have been blessed by the work of this blog, we would sincerely appreciate any prayerful support. "Do Not Be Surprised..." is not a 501(c)3 organization, and contributions are not tax deductible. Of course, we covet your prayers more than anything else!

Not a blogger but would like to look like one. Are there blogger specific flip flops for summertime? The bunny slippers make my feet sweat.
