Rebellion is prevalent in the church in America today and it shows in the clothes sometimes.

And being offended is a choice. God chooses whom He may to release the message and those who are offended by the way the messenger looks need to get over themselves.

If I preach in Africa where a suit and tie is the custom do I care more about my choice of clothing or offending someone out of the Kingdom ?

I was mainly speaking about North America, but you need to do what you feel is right, I guess. I would probably be a little leery of someone who didn't think it was necessary to shower, brush their teeth and smelled of body odor, but I'd listen to the message before I shot the messenger.

I hope I am not seeing it ? Such a powerful man of God. But you know Fuego when we get big like Todd we have a big target on our backs. I have had to leave off following some powerful ministries over the years because they "changed" when the fame came !
