 the Church. He then proceeded to explain to me the difference between 
 "holiness standards" and "Church standards". Our pastor requires the 
 men on the platform to be clean shaven and appropriately attired 
 (i.e. necktie). I am sure there is no scriptural basis for neckties, but 
 the majority of pastors I know *insist* upon them. Had our pastor asked
 my husband to shave the mustache, I know he would have done so 
 **immediately**  because of his respect for the position, and the man.

Sis Donna,     I appreciate your post and sharing your testimony with us. It
was edifing to hear of someone else that deals with something that is common
to every man on the face of the earth, probably, and be concerned enough
about the Lords work that he would go ahead and shave it off. I've handled
situations as your Pastor did there, and have had simular results as God
deals with there hearts. Thanks for the Post.
