My take on modesty

Too many times I’ve seen women in CHURCH, strutting their stuff down the isle, in too tight, too short, too revealing, too much cleavage showing-outfits. Do I think that’s appropriate for church or anywhere else? No. If you’ve been in the church long enough, you start to see the difference between church attire, and standing on a corner at night in Hollywood-attire. Yes, the Lord wants you to come as you are to His house, but, you’ve been at that church for two years. Put on a long skirt, and a blouse!

One should definitely know how to separate the club and the beach from, Sunday morning service, and church picnics. I personally can’t see why a young woman with ANY respect for herself at all, would ever stoop so low, as to try and entice a man with her body in a place where your mind should be on Jesus! It’s not cute! And it sure isn’t attractive! Yes, men are looking at you because he is a man, and you have your stuff hanging all out! Of course he’s going to look. But, will he ask you out? Maybe. But, just long enough to do his business and then leave. Will he take you home? Maybe, but never while his mother is there. Will, he buy you things? Sure, but only because he wants to do whatever he wishes with you, and he knows that material things fascinate you.

Do you see what I’m saying girl? You look plain-old foolish prancing around in outfits that I wouldn’t even wear to the beach. The Bible says this in ITimothy 2:9-10. “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamfacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair or gold or pearls or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works”.
