That was very, very good. Sarah Pena: Good places to find modest clothing are everywhere; you just have to know where to look. You can find modest clothing in most department stores, you just have to look at what's NOT on display with big flashy signs, etc. The more modest stuff is usually on the sale racks, in the misses dept., or just on a rack with no signs at all. You just have to look better. It's laid out so that people who DON'T want modest clothes barely notice them. Hope this helps! Love in Christ, Stephanie Joy Oh wow… That was very, very good.

And how true. We need a balance in the way we dress. My parents always try to make sure I am dressed in a way that is modest but that does not look like a throw-back to another century. But it is so hard to find clothes like this! I wish I could find more stores and websites that sold modest yet fashionable clothing. Does anyone know of some places? God bless!

"your dad would kill me, but you should wear that." -what does that mean? dads will always be too strict i guess, but sneaking around dosn't make since either. and at a pool the rules do change. i see nothing wrong with wearing a two piece to a pool party, it's not even a small 2 piece, but I'd never wear that to go out. so when is, how far, appropraite? and if i Act Modest even in not-extreme-modest clothing, does that make it ok? i thought this was going to blame women, and it kinda does- but it’s well deserved. i know girls who throw themselves at guys, for attention. and i hope i’m not like that, but i do also have the mindset of how low can i build my wall.

so when is, how far, appropraite?

and if i Act Modest even in not-extreme-modest clothing, does that make it ok?

I think this is awesome. In my Youth Group( before i graduated lol) modesty was our most important rule. We weren't Nuns we were just considerate. I understand that men are to be responsible for their thoughts so girls please don't freak out okay,they are... however,this isn't an attack on us. Let me explain, there was one Beach day i will NEVER forget,neither will any of the girls that were with us. We were at the beach bathing suits,tank tops to cover our middles and decent board shorts. So we're chillin and the girls around us were lets say..not so modest. The guys talk to our Youth Pastor and not a minute later he says,"hey guys were moving down because the surfing is better down the beach." Later on however,we found that was his way of covering up,turns out the guys were struggling with thought issues and taking that second look. They were considerate didn't make a scene and moved down the beach. Now if they are willing to do that for us we should show them the same respect don't you think?.We are not only responsible for our own thoughts but if you cause a brother in Christ to stumble you are responsible for that as well..remember that.Don't do things that cause others to stumble especially now that they've made you aware of it.If you know,then you are responsible and will be called into account for your actions one day. You girls are missing the point.It's not a set of rules or a way to "control women", it's a guy saying,"Hey i need some help,I'm struggling please christian Sister help me out". We should be more than happy to do this for them,as their sisters in Christ ..well as the Bible says,"you are your brothers keeper." I believe this applies to our Christian Brothers as well.So before you flip out and get on the Feminism train consider this. Be open and willing to listen you don't have to be a Nun but girls,"If it's not for sale..stop advertising." You can be beautiful and have your own style and personality without showing off your body. Bend,stretch,check it all out in the mirror if the stuffing is coming out of the pillow,change the cover okay! Thank you guys ssoo much for speaking up and for looking out for us.it's not only the Christian Guys who are watching ladies,they do have more control,these guys are also protecting you from the Non-Christian guy who if he see's it is not afraid to make an offer. If a guy only notices you for the way you look then he's not a guy you want to be with so really your looks don't matter in the big picture,God will bring that man along and he will love you even if you do look a little nun-ish :) I have many guy friends and they all RESPECT! a girl who covers up.So lets do them a favor and remember..MODEST IS HOTTEST!!!!!! WWOO HOOO!!!!!!!!! Okay some people are really missing the point here. I think this is awesome. In my Youth Group( before i graduated lol) modesty was our most important rule.

If someone falls, the guilt is not on your head." Wow, do you mean to imply that if a Christian woman dresses immodestly (unintentionally, or intentionally), then some of the guild for a man choosing to lust after her is her fault and the guilt is on her head? Wow. Before you pull out the "stumbling block" verses, take them in context and look at the rest of the picture. First, those verses about not eating meat are to protect the consciences of those who did not have the faith to recognize that food that was dedicated to God was now pure even if it had been offered to idols. It was to protect them from doubt, not alleviate them from responsibility. Second, there is no temptation taken you but such as is common to man. No one else is guilty for what you as an accountable Christian man choose to do with your thoughts. Could I be guilty for a motivation of trying to seduce a brother? Sure I could. But I'm not guilty for your lust. That's your choice. There are thousands of immodestly dressed women in the world who are not Christians and do not care about your struggles. If the guilt can be shifted in any degree from yourself to them, then I guess we women of faith can just give up any hope of finding husbands who keep their eyes and minds pure because you all "cannot help it". “In this, you are protected. If someone falls, the guilt is not on your head.”
