I shouldn’t dress like a hoochie??

Modesty is something that is definitely lacking in our society.  I’m not talking about how the prostitutes are starting to dress a little more revealing, I’m talking about the girls that go to church looking like they just walked out of the Candy Shop video.   But these young girls will try and say that they are just being “stylish”(because walking around half naked is so “in” right now).  Well Modesty doesn’t mean you have to dress like a nun!  Modesty doesn’t mean that you have to walk around in tons of clothes either.  So how do we define what is Modest?  As females we don’t find revealing clothes to be stumbling blocks to our purity, but Modesty isn’t for us.  The bible tells us that we are to  make sure we don’t do anything to make our fellow Christians stumble.   Guys happen to be very visual, and if you walk into church with your junk hanging out the front, it’s going to be very hard for them to focus on Jesus.  By being Modest, your respecting your Christian brothers purity so that he will respect yours.  So when we get dressed in the morning we need to ask ourselves,”Could my outfit arouse ungodly feelings in guys?”, and then get a second opinion from your dad!  Finally, your body is meant to be a gift for your husband, and Modesty is the wrapping.  When a gift is wrapped in nice shiny paper it creates anticipation, but there’s nothing exciting about getting a gift wrapped in plastic wrap.
