Matthew 28:19 says "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"
We have to go out and make disciples for Christ, not make our own communities and stay within them. Though being seperated from the world is important to we still need to go out and preach to those who don't know God and what he can do for us.
Matthew 6:25 says "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?"
There are so many others things to worry about then what we have to wear to church and what we wear on our heads. This is a popular thing in both the Christian and Amish faith but more so in the Amish community. In our communities we try to make it so you can wear whatever in church were as the Amish have a strict dress code. If a church or community has a strict dress code it's harder to have others join who can't get that speicific dress code.
Ephesians 2:5"It is by grace you have been saved."
We are saved only through grace and not by works or any other thing. God loved us so much that he sent Jesus to save us and it is by his grace that we can keep living and have hope of a better life after this one.
