I agree that many of our kids and even quite a few adults dress inappropriately.. however that stems from a bigger mindset of self image and "what the attention should be focused on" when I see myself in the mirror. As a man/woman of Christ.. the mindset of attention would ..should be on people seeing the Light of the World thru you.. so obviously the dress should be reflective of that. I don't believe you have to dress like a nun.. I do believe that the dress when one goes out in public should be reflective of who I represent. Not everyone represents Christ in their dress just as no everyone represents Christ in their day to day conversation. My Pastor once preached on being a person of excellence and how excellence should be seen in how you dress as well as in other areas and aspects of your life.. how you maintain your house, car.. etc. Many of the young women today don't get that revealing a lot "takes away from the mystery and surprise ". I believe that the Lord wants to do a new thing in our young people and even in our postmodern generation that thing that tight/ revealing is "in". True beauty is not in how much we reveal ... true beauty is revealed when when we allow the Lord reveal Himself within us. My prayer is that as a woman I can be a light on the hill to my younger sisters who feel that the only way someone will see their inner beauty is if they reveal a little more flesh, my prayer is that the Lord would reveal that He sees their beauty right where they are. I love the scripture that says that "You were fearfully and wonderfully made". How romantic is that!
