Platform Apparel Tips
H. Have a laugh ready - sometimes you'll put your clothes on backwards or inside out or you'll miss a button.
I. Insist on putting a Department Ministry Manual in place to avoid confusion on issues like this and more in the future – Put things in black and white
J. Jewelry - too much jewelry is a distraction, Jesus is the reason that we sing and the focus is not our jewelry! I'm sorry but earrings in the nose and anywhere else except in the ear is a distraction.(I love jewelry –I personally wear a toe ring and it drawsattention)
K. Keep your eyes on Jesus and your heart pure before Him, ask Him to show you if you need to improve in any area – when people look in your eyes they will see alight and your words will lead them to the Rock of our Salvation. Point #2Keep your hair in good shape, keep it conditioned and styled nicely, - Bad Hair days are the worst!
L. Leave your tight clothing and low neck lines at home – It's a distraction
M. Make sure you always wear a slip under your dresses and skirts. Point #2 – Make-up – little is best. (I personally love to wear it, I also cry a lot so waterproof is the best way to go. If you don't wear make-up that's ok too. You don't dishonor God bywearing a little.
N. Never say this stuff does not apply to me – ask someone you trust to tell you the truth about your clothing.
O. Offer to go shopping with a young lady who doesn't know any better. Better yet clean out your closet and give them to someone who needs them.
P. Pastors (men) find it difficult to correct women on these issues don't make it harder for them.
Q. Quit thinking about not having enough money to re-stock your closet – God will supply your needs according to His riches in glory.
R.Rest – take a Sabbath and get your beauty sleep. Don't' stay up late at night your voice will take the beating, not to mention it's hard to hear the Holy Spirit speak when you are sleepy or tired.
S. Sing to the Lord for His has been good to you!
T. Take advantage of any classes that deal with Women in Ministry – you'll gain wisdom and insight from the sisterhood. Point #2 (If you have tattoos try yourbest to cover them up especially if they are huge – they can be a distraction. If not don't get in bondage the deal is to not bring attention to yourself but to God)
U. U-R fearfully and wonderfully made - you may want to show it off but save it for your husband not the congregation! Always wear underwear I don't care how hot it gets where you live.
V. Visit www.experiencingworship.com often and tell your friends it's a good site!
W. Work at learning why we worship and then teach someone about it.
X. X (I don't know) I could stretch it and say exercise...
Y. You are the right woman for the job – be comfortable in that.
Z. Z – get plenty of Z's its our beauty sleep.
