In church, you get God to get good

To the editor:

After reading a couple of comments in Speak Out over the last few days, I'm concerned about area churches with dress codes. I would like to add that we believe at Victory Outreach Christian Center that there is no dress code. If somebody is poor or doesn't have the proper clothing, it doesn't matter. You don't get good to get God. You get God to get good. I'd like to say shame on the pastors and shame on the laymen or the members of any church who would look down or judge somebody strictly on the outward appearance of their clothing. It's not right, and it shouldn't be done.
