DRESS CODE

1 Timothy 2:9 ESV - "Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire"

After the "casual smart" sharing on 14 July, finally we released the announcement of new dress code. "Friday Everyday", thats what I called the new dress code.

Several positive messages and feedback were received, be it verbally, in writings, even via social media posting in facebook.

One thing that attracts me the most is the concern on the non compliance side of the new dress code. Feedback surrounding the concern if some people will be "too relax" and went overboard with their attire.

I believe this is where maturity came to picture. I dont think there will be any policy nor guidelines that can ensure the 100% compliance. I think this is when we test ourselves or put our trust on our colleagues. That everyone will put their respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control.

And I believe there are (still) some people that will fail to comply with the new dress code. But it does not mean the new dress code is not positive.

I guess this is the same at Church, at our family, in our community. A lot of good guidance and direction as well as values which are there for a good reason but due to one or two family members behaviour are not presented properly.

We have to always remember that it does not mean the community, nor the church and nor the vision are not good but merely an invalid unfortunate presentation of some people.

God bless. As for now, I hope my colleagues will enjoy thr new dress code policy.
