Not in the world, but in the church. I would invite you to read the atricle at http://www.gerald285.com/view/?pageID=113067 and see what real modesty requires. And I would invite you to listen to a message by C. J. Mahaney called "The Soul of Modesty" at http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninf...ID=12908209345 What I see in the churches today is in great part the fault of the men. The husbands, fathers, and leaders have turned their back on the call to modesty and to the call to lead so we have, I am afraid, immodesty running wild.

I don't fault the men nearly so much as I fault the women's lib movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can't tell the Christian from the sinner a lot of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest man Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 What I see in the churches today is in great part the fault of the men. This statement seems to imply that women don't have a mind of their own when it comes to dressing themselves. You want to blame somebody......blame the devil. Everybody's responsible for their own actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no reason for a woman to dress immodestly unless she wants the attention or is trying to be a tease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even science knows that men are very visual by nature, and women are not. Women who don't dress modestly are playing dangerous games. I'm not saying I am perfect in this either...I fall into it sometimes...can't even really tell you why Womens lib has definitely done alot of damage in this area as well as others Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one don't know what modesty is then it is "Cover It Up" it not really about what you wear or don't wear but it is about keeping it covered.
