Bikinis? Showing Skin? What's a Girl to do?

What would you do if you showed up to church and this sign was at the entrance?

 

Instead of copying & pasting the article today from Lies Young Women Believe Website/Blog, I'm copying the link.  It is important to go to the link and then watch the You-Tube Video at the end of the post.

The issue of modesty is one we haven't addressed in Youth Group lately.  However, if you plan to come to our Girls' Only Bible Study on Wednesday Nights before Youth Group begins, we will REALLY address the issues of Modesty!

 

And, speaking of Youth Group, just a few reminders for you & parents:  We ARE moving to Wednesday Nights on June 20, 2012 and will still have Youth Group, until then, on Fridays (June 8th & June 15th).

 

I know Frank is planning on meeting with the Guys for a Guys Only Study beginning on June 20th.  So, there WILL be a Girls Only & Guys Only Bible Study from 5:45 - 6:45 p.m. on Wednesdays (beginning June 20th) and then Youth Group starting at 7:00 p.m.  We will be covering gender specific topics and some pretty straight forward talk about God's will for our lives, dating, relationships, sex (yup) and the like.  Because the topics are of a mature nature, we will need to get permission from your parents before you can be a part of the Bible Study.  Some guys or gals may still be too young to tackle some of these mature topics, so this study may not be right for you.

 

Ladies and gents, what you wear really does matter to God!

 

Check out these verses:

1 Timothy 2:8-10 (NASB)

⁸ Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

⁹ Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, ¹⁰ but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.

1 Peter 3:3-6 (NASB) 

3  In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives, ² as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior. ³  Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; ⁴ but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. ⁵ For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands; ⁶ just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.

Bolded emphasis mine.

Tomorrow, Lies Young Women Believe will discuss the heart issues behind how we dress.  Until then, think about what you chose to wear today and what effect you hoped to achieve.  Did you dress today to be pleasing to the Lord or to draw attention to your body?

If you are a believer, one who has trusted Christ for his or her salvation, you should be dressing to be pleasing to God and to glorify Him.

Does it matter what we wear? You betcha!  More tomorrow.

Frank and I love you all and pray for you daily!
