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.

we are obsessed with sex!

I have decided that this generation has many names, but mainly we are the SEX generation. Why are we all so obsessed with sex? It is in everything now a days. It is in almost every movie, song, book, and in everything on tv. I mean come on, why do so many books today have to have sex in them. I’m really not that big into reading but this year I have a reading class and everyday we have to read so I have read a lot lately. I have noticed that a ton of books out there have sex in them, and I’m getting sick of it, if the author isn’t explaining the scene to you, then the characters are talking about it. I’m not trying to make myself sound like one of those holier than thou people who think you are horrible if you talk, listen, or read anything about sex, I’m just saying that why does so much of it have to be everywhere we go. That is the exact reason our generation knows nothing about purity, why many people aren’t striving to be pure, and why it is so hard for us to. Everything makes sex out of marriage sound fun and normal.

The main reason I am ranting and raving about this is because I found out that we have had a lot more views lately and they have been from our tag, sex. At first this made me really excited because we are getting more views, but then I thought about it and this proved my theory about this generation, that we are obsessed with sex. If we aren’t out there having it, then we are joking about it, or talking about it and I am not excluding anyone when I say this. This whole blog is partly about sex. I am not saying that talking about sex is bad, I am saying that talking about it in the wrong way is bad. I just wish it wasn’t everywhere we go.

Sex≠♥

“Sex does not equal love.”  Most people will tell you this and yet they live completely different.  A lot of people in our generation use sex to feel a sense of love or validation, but sex is not a way to get love.  Sex never = love!  In fact, love = sex, when proven by marriage.  Sex outside of marriage is the opposite of love, its selfishness.   The way to see if someone really loves you, is to  tell them you want to wait for  marriage.  But most people won’t do this because they are afraid of the truth; they would rather fool themselves into thinking they are in “love”.  So for all you people who want to know real love, put it through the only test that’ll tell, Purity.

What’s Sex?

You don’t have to explain this to me, but whenever the topic of virginity/purity comes up, we must ask for a definition of sex.  Why is this?  Is it because our generation is stupid? Of course not, but for some reason we like to play little technical word games when it comes to sex.  So now A-Y (things like fondling, oral sex, anal sex, etc.) are acceptable because they aren’t considered sex.  Which means you could do things that would shame a Democrat, but as long as you leave Z alone, you are technically still a virgin.  Our generation wants to rebel and gratify themselves; yet at the same time, they don’t want to be ashamed of what they’re doing, so they dull down what sex is.  How can we be real about the sexual nightmare our generation is in, if we can’t even be real about what sex is?!  So what are we to do in world that is so lost? We need to stand upon the word of God; and Christians,  flee from all that is impure and cling to the cross

  ^{Ephesians 5}

³But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people

I Want to be Anorexic, Half-Naked, and Fake!

…….Not really, but with those three words, I just described all the women in Hollywood. These are also the women that our society calls “role models”. I am disgusted when I think of the fact that many younger girls look to these women as examples, but then I got to thinking. How many times do we look at the fashion magazine and seen how beautiful these women can appear to be and think, “maybe I should do my hair like that”, or “wow, i should buy pants like that” . Even though we KNOW these women are lost and pretty conceited, we begin to fashion ourselves after them. Now, this isn’t sin, but what I want to know is why aren’t their enough godly women, dressing and acting like godly women, to show us something different! What we need is a strong and secure example of what a women should be, to contradict everything that world tries to show us. In our church, we do have strong godly women, but we need more. So I write this as a challenge to the young ladies. We need to be that example for the next generation, let us be the change we want to see in the world.
” I desire that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. “-1 Timothy 2:8-10
