This six minute video clip discusses biblical modesty; not only are we to "keep it covered," but we also have a responsibility to be careful of "costly array." Oh, how easy it is for materialism to creep in and pride to grow in our hearts! I have been guilty of this myself, and am so thankful that I can take it to the Lord in prayer. He is always quick to offer grace when I so desperately need it.
Two statements from this clip that really spoke to me:
"Modesty is humility expressed in dress."
"Immodesty is pride on display by what you wear."
Some food for thought on this afternoon.
By His Grace,

Thank you for sharing this. It was wonderful to hear this topic expressed so succinctly and lovingly.
ReplyDeleteOh Jamie, than you so much for sharing this. I will have to repost this on facebook.
ReplyDeleteWe have a large number of college girls in our fellowship, and it's very obvious that no one has taken the time to teach many of these young ladies what is appropriate, not just at church but always, for a young Christian girl. Too many young ladies retort, "those guys just need to control their eyes..." Not a heart of humility at all, being displayed with that type of attitude.
We have lost site of who we are, as ambassadors for Christ, representing Him to a lost world. Our dress is so important.
Thank you dear one, for sharing this.
thank you so much for sharing Jamie, this lady was to the point, no beating around the bush, as it sometimes needs to be. I would like to share this on our blog as well. We don't want to be a stumbling block for others either.

Thank you for posting this. There are so many women are blinded to the thought that they have a "right" to dress however they please and it doesn't affect anyone else.
ReplyDeleteI hope at least one female of any age sees this video and is affected by it. Thank you for sharing!
