Attitudes hurt

Editor:

. . .

I will agree there is no basic sin in wearing a beard or men not wearing socks. But, the question here is not whether or not these are sins, but rather a question of attitude. From the beginning, the Lord and His servants have asked the church to do little things. This was done to help develop a proper attitude. Hopefully, when the stakes of obedience are higher, we will choose that which is right. The Lord will not ask us to do big things until we can master the small. Can we see the importance of attitude in this issue?
