Modesty

Modesty is about protecting brothers in Christ, not about protecting yourself.

Men think differently than us.  Much differently.
I have found the following website extremely useful in helping to understand the male mind.
The Rebelution Modesty Survey
They took men, from many different countries, ranging in ages from 12 to over 50, and asked them what they think is modest, and what is not.
Most of men take complete responsibility for their thoughts, but it would be nice if their sisters in Christ helped them out.

It's about putting others first, and keeping them in mind.

You may not know what the man, who sits the next pew over, went through before he was saved.  Even though he may be striving to follow Christ whole-heartedly now, do you want Satan to use your apparel to remind him of something in the past?

Do you dress for attention, wearing something just because it makes you look good?

Does your husband approve of the clothes you wear out of the house?

Is he afraid to say something to you about them?

Challenge

-Critically think about your wardrobe and your attitude towards clothing and men.

If you think that men just have dirty minds and should keep their eyes to themselves, please look at your heart attitude.  Love puts others first.  

If you wear an outfit just because you think you look great in it, please beware.  Before my husband and I were married, the times he stumbled were the times I thought I looked great, and I dress and act very modestly compared to most women.  

If you are unsure about something, don't wear it.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Matthew 22:39

Whose adorning, let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

1 Peter 3:4&5
