‘Whole Bible Christianity’ chapter 10, section on Tassels<\/p>\n

Numbers 15:37-38<\/a> tells us about wearing tassels with one blue thread on the four corners of our garments. Some people want to make an issue about what is a corner (has to be a right angle in their opinion) and what shade of blue should be on the thread. This is too nitpicky if you ask me, and can\u2019t be sustained from the Word.<\/p>\n

The earth is round, and yet it has four corners. Any circle has at least four corners. All you have to do is draw a plus sign, like the crosshairs on a rifle scope, on the circle to see where they are. I\u2019m round, so I must have four corners too! That\u2019s why I wear tassels on my pants in four spots. I tie them myself in the Jewish prayer shawl style in order to identify with Israel, but you can have any kind you want. I\u2019ve seen rainbow colored (just make sure to include a blue one) short ones and long ones. The more different kinds we have the better it is I think.<\/p>\n

We wear the tassels as reminders to follow God\u2019s ways instead of our own. You might think that wearing tassels is no big deal, but it helps more than you know if you haven\u2019t tried it. They don\u2019t guarantee you won\u2019t sin. They only work as well as you allow them to work.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, after I\u2019ve messed up (again) and said or done something I shouldn\u2019t, I look at them and think, \u201cWell, at least I\u2019ve done one thing right.\u201d And from that, I can rebuild, remembering all the things God has done for me. I refresh myself by touching Him through this command. Wearing tassels as He instructs helps me feel I am surrounded by His love. I renew my love for Him by a determination not to fail again.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
