 In
like manner also, that women adorn
themselves in modest apparel, with
shamefacedness and sobriety; not with
broided
hair, or gold or pearls, or costly
array;
but (which becometh women professing
godliness)
with good works.
1 Timothy 2.9-10
There really are LOTS AND LOTS of
alternatives to what the common retail stores are offering.
SOMETIMES you simply
have to look around a bit to locate the
best dresses for
yourself and your family. It's NOT
that
hard and it's surely WORTH it to
find, make or order dresses for yourself
& your daughters. |
The What
&
Why
of Modesty
&
Feminine
Apparel
What is Modesty and why is
it so important for the
Christian woman to
understand, dress & behave
modestly?
Modesty is the voluntary
personal responsibility to
behave & dress in such a
manner as to not purposely
draw attention to oneself,
to not think proudly of
oneself and it's a decision
to protect from purposeful
or "unintended" enticement
in inappropriate ways &
places. This is
crucial for a Christian
woman; first and foremost
because we're
representatives of the LORD
Jesus Christ and secondly,
if we're married, we're a
reflection of our husband.
It's critical to pay
attention to the message and
the signal our clothing is
sending and to make sure,
very sure, that the message
our attire is giving
is in line with the Word
of God.
If style & type of clothing
is something you're
wrestling over in your mind,
or if you're feeling
convicted about dress, and
what in this world should a
Christian woman be wearing,
then pray, discuss these
things with your husband or,
if you're a young woman at
home, your parents.
Many will have ideas and
convictions about what *you*
should wear, but what
matters most is what the
LORD is directing and what
your husband prefers.
Pray together & examine
what you're wearing each
day and why! |

The Sin Bath-Sheba

Warning: may
cause you to fiercely react
to his assessment of dress
and YOUR responsibility as a
woman. I
don't agree with all he says...
(Was Bath-Sheba *really* sinning?!?!? I
don't fully agree with the author
of this article that
"Bath-Sheba's little sin was
the cause
[emphasis mine] of David's Great
Sin"!)
This is
not intended to stir
controversy--- His
position's narrow but some points
are thought provoking
AND really are RELEVANT regarding appearance &
motives
*AND* unintended
consequences or OUR
apparel as women. |
