I remember that men at one retreat where the women all wore long, loose clothing told a pastor that it was "relaxing" for them, and they thanked him. If modesty were not important, the Bible wouldn't emphasize it each time it talks about women's clothing. I believe it is part of our testimony.Lou Ann Keiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684047509152182217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150363806357767058.post-13671489046542546932013-07-09T20:42:06.241+02:002013-07-09T20:42:06.241+02:00It's interesting to read this after my post to...It's interesting to read this after my post today about clothing. In fact, I went back and amended it a bit to emphasize that if one has to choose between modesty and stylishness, modesty is the higher principle.<br /><br />I've been distressed, too, at the strapless dressing at weddings. Our pastor in SC would not marry anyone whose wedding and bridesmaid dresses didn't meet certain standards (I assume he had a list of guidelines that he gave them or went over with them at some point before the wedding was scheduled), but instead of choosing more modest attire, they chose to be married at another venue.<br /><br />I'm distressed, too, by the shifting emphasis that modesty is more of a problem with a guy's thought life than a girl's dress. I am hearing that more and more these days. Yes, guys need to be careful and guard their eyes and thoughts, but girls don't have to make it harder on them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150363806357767058.post-2241273864529880142013-07-05T22:40:41.793+02:002013-07-05T22:40:41.793+02:00I believe there's a lack of teaching the Word ...I believe there's a lack of teaching the Word on this. The word modest is used several times in Scripture; once it's a meaning and not the word "modest" but the meaning is "very modest" which really makes one think. I believe God's standard is modesty and moderation.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment, Sandra.Lou Ann Keiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684047509152182217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150363806357767058.post-1137261268238914812013-07-05T22:32:38.056+02:002013-07-05T22:32:38.056+02:00I totally agree.

To me, it is so obvious that a Christian of any age - or even gender - is inappropriate wearing any garment showing too much skin (like shorts, short skirts, sleeveless or thin strap tops, and certainly no midriff). Your piece is a good guideline for modest apparall. Thanks!

Pero si se busca bien se encuentra. Hace solo unos días encontré ropa modesta y barata así que si se busca se encuentra.<br />Hemos de preguntarnos como tu dices si es apropiado, antes de salir de casa mirar hasta donde nos llega la falda si se ve algo que no queremos mostrar a los demás. <br /><br />Bendiciones.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09542673925337543677noreply@blogger.com
