Modesty

[Honeybee88]

If you're stumbling in your walk it's probably your dirty mind that you're tripping over.

Exactly. We should all strive to be as modest as we can so as not to tempt others, but you can think impure thoughts if no one is dressed immodestly. We are not held accountable for others' thoughts, just our own actions and thoughts.

I'm all for more modest clothing for women.....some of things I see, even at work, are ridiculous! Cleavage seems to be the order of the day (watch the early morning t.v. news shows!). Half the women I see shouldn't be wearing short, tight, or midriff baring anyway....not at over 200 pounds. That being said...those 'brothers' need to practice some modesty in their own dress, especially when wearing shorts, cease going shirtless in public, throw out the baggy pants that won't stay up, and get your minds out of the gutter; it's not a woman's responsibility to keep your thoughts pure. If you're stumbling in your walk it's probably your dirty mind that you're tripping over.

I agree it is a two-way street but I have to be honest, speaking as a man...

...it confuses me when women who expose themselves act shocked when men stare. I try to be pure of mind but it is hard in certain enviroments. I lock out the "bad" channels on my satelite but it is hard to lock out trips to Wal-mart.

Women can dress as sexy as they want to please their husbands -- at home. And vice versa.

But to me, there is never a place in public for string bikinis (or any bikinis, for that matter), extremely short, tight, or revealing clothes, cleavage, etc., for any age.

I agree.

Amen, brother, I hear ya. One guy says he prays for the woman that God will save her or show her how wrong she is if she's already saved.

It would help if Pastors would preach on these subjects. People seem more inclined to listen to them rather than an ordinary person like me.

Never sell yourself short.

Lead by example.

Sometimes our actions speak louder than anything we could have ever said.

I'm kinda glad they keep the AC turned up on high where I go to church...

It's so cold, nobody wears anything short. At least not twice.

It's too cold!

Amen. We're a light shining on a hill. We should act like we belong to God. We should be compassionate enough to care about anothers weakness.
