Christian Modesty

Dressing modestly is almost impossible, not because it's hard to get the message of why would should dress modestly or anything. But it's just about impossible to find modest clothing in your everyday stores. I have looked almost EVERYWHERE for modest undershirts (to go with my not so modest "over" shirts) and have come up with nothing each time. I've taken to tying the straps of my current undershirts to try and make them more modest, it's really annoying:) So i'm not going to sit here and tell you about how easy it is to find modest clothing, because truth be told it isn't. BUT I will tell you that the Bible speaks strongly about modestly. In 1 Timothy 2:9 it says that women are to dress modestly and with self control. Now society tells us to do whatever we want and to heck with all that, but God's messages are pretty clear on the subject.

When we as Christian women dress immodestly we help our brothers in Christ to sin by looking at our bodies in lustful ways. Now I'm not saying that men are animals and loose their minds when they see a girl in short shorts and a tank top, BUT I am saying that when a beautiful women wears these types of clothing it does cause men to stumble because not lusting after her is pretty hard, now a Christian man will likely try and look away, but let's be honest here, temptation is UNBELIEVABLE difficult. So why help? If our brothers in Christ were doing something that was helping us sin wouldn't you expect it of them to stop and try and be better for you? So yeah finding modest clothes is more difficult then it used to be and you may have to tie your spaghetti straps but it's worth it in my opinion to help our brothers and listen to God's Word.
