MATT Good morning! I’m Matt Farmer, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist in Meridian. In 1975, John Molloy wrote a book called Dress for Success, which became the fashion guidebook for many people trying to climb the corporate ladder. Molloy’s advice centered on a basic premise—always dress like your boss. Every day, for work, school, or recreation, we all have to decide what to wear. But we must also make choices about another wardrobe—our attitudes and actions. If we claim to be followers of Christ, our spiritual apparel is of far greater significance than our physical clothing. God’s dress code for us as his followers is compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience, and love. When we clothe ourselves in these traits, we are dressed for success in the eyes of God and are ready to show the world around us what it means to live for Christ.
