Jbaldwin,
Over the years, I have seen the reverse... Where woman or man are only concerned for the heart attitude and it never ever affects the outward person... I Agree both are important and both are to be held in balance but I always see the one end and not much the other end or balanced. Many times are standards will not fall in line... Both must be held up diligently

To all. We all know what modesty is. Nobody can deny that the Bible calls for it. Anybody who tries to say it's ok for women to dress like sluts is wrong. plain wrong. Just go to the mall and look around. Teens dress very immodest. Parent's that give it their blessing and buy the clothes for them are corrupting their children. Even on Nickelodeon Channel the kids are dressed like whores.
Anybody who says women can wear whatever they want to, well, we can see through the lines. Very obviously too! | To be honest, I didn't get that from anyone on this thread. What I have seen is a "standards" vs. "heart attitude" discussion.
As it has already been said many times, modest dress is important (from both men and women), but heart attitude is just as important, and I would say THE most important. If our hearts are in the right place, our standards will fall in line. To be honest, I lived as a legalistic pharisee for many years. Frankly, my dress today is not a whole lot different than it was back then. I still carefully cover up. The difference? I don't worry about my dress, I worry about my attitude before the Lord. I make my decisions about clothing based on my love for the Lord and what pleases Him. Oddly enough, I end up making about the same choices as I did when I only cared what the rules were. |
