Dalrock wrote about cross-dressing on his blog, and it is definitely food for thought. God definitely wants women to dress and act like women, and he wants men to dress and act like men, but it has become acceptable in our culture for women to dress and act like men, even in the Christian culture, sadly. Yes, our wicked culture has now decided that men can act and dress like women, but we clearly know this is wrong. How did…
Written By Nancy Campbell Modesty and beauty should go together. Both enhance one another. Modesty does not have to be old-fashioned and drab. Some dear Christian women feel they must wear plain and drab clothes to be modest. But we don’t find this anywhere in the Bible. Far from the truth. The Proverbs 31 woman was dressed beautifully in “fine linen and purple.” When Sarah went down to Egypt, the Pharaoh of Egypt noticed her and brought her to his…
Women supposedly burned their bras in the 1960s. This happened during the years when I was a young child since I was born in 1958 and I sure remember hearing about it. In discussing the topic of openly breastfeeding in public last week (women unashamedly showing their breasts while breastfeeding), it was shocking how many women, even Christian women, believe this is okay. In pondering this, I remembered the time when women burned their bras and wondered if there was…
Unfortunately, nudity has come to the beaches, lakes, and pools of America, and we shouldn’t be surprised. Many women don’t seem to have any problem with men of all ages lusting after them and seeing them as objects. God commands that we be modest and shamefaced, not drawing attention to ourselves, but as we, as a culture, grow farther away from God’s principles, we can see that women have no shame in being naked. On our walks on the beach,…
As godly women, we are not called to spend a lot of time and money adorning our outward appearance, but to adorn ourselves with a meek and quiet spirit, along with being in subjection unto our own husbands (1 Peter 3:4, 5). Have you seen a woman who doesn’t spend much time on her outward appearance but lives in subjection to her husband? I have, and it’s a beautiful thing to watch. She is beautiful to her husband. She has…
Women have used this verse to try to convince me that women are not to wear pants. The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination to the LORD your God. Deuteronomy 22:5 The problem with this argument is that men didn’t wear pants in biblical times either, therefore, it doesn’t seem to apply specifically to pants. Men wore long, flowing robes…
We were discussing in the chat room the fact that Jinger Duggar is now wearing pants since she got married, and some women outside of the chat room are clearly excited about it. This sentiment bothered me since it made it seem as if she was in “bondage” in her parents’ home, but now she’s “free.” I have heard those who hate Christianity state the same sentiment, and as believers in Christ, we should support other believers in their convictions….
A godly, pastor’s wife lent me her book Modesty: More Think a Change of Clothes by Martha Peace and Pastor Kent Keller. I love that it has a godly man chime in since it’s good to know men’s opinions about these things. They state that the purpose of this book is “about repenting from immodesty and becoming modest and pure in your heart and outward dress.” “We should not dress or act in any way that would cause another person…
Written by Trey A Christian man can train himself and his eyes not to look at and lust after another woman, but I will tell you the best way that a wife can help her husband to win in this never-ending battle. By being obedient to Scripture, she actually can make it easy for him to not be tempted to look at and lust after other women. If she is disobedient to the scripture, she makes it much more difficult…
Some of you are ultra-conservative, but I am not. I wear dresses and skirts just above my knees because this is where Ken likes me to wear them. I would wear them to the floor if this is what he wanted from me. I even wear shorts once in a while around my home, and some of my thigh shows. (One woman told me there is a verse about the thigh not showing, so I asked her for it, but…
