Young ladies, huh!!! When I was young, I remember the most important thing to us girls, was getting enough cremalins under our dresses so our dresses would stand out. Anyone my age will remember this very well. The more cremalins, the more popular you were. My grandmother could only afford one, so my dress did not stand out like many other girls did.
I look at Facebook, and instead of sweet ladylike girls. I see many dressed so inappropriately, sometimes I feel like screaming. It's not hard, if you really want to know how God wanted young and old ladies to dress.
Through His Word, the Holy Bible, God gives us a simple and clear yet general instruction in 1st Timothy 2:9 “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel…” The word “modest” is defined in Collin’s English Dictionary as: 1. having or expressing a humble opinion of oneself or one’s accomplishments or abilities; 2. reserved or shy; 3. not ostentatious or pretentious; 4. not extreme or excessive, moderate; 5. decorous or decent. Therefore, God expects a woman to dress in a proper, well-mannered fashion—certainly not in a provocative, outlandish or excessive way. Christians are to be examples to those around them, living the pages of the Bible for those who never read them. Their appearance and actions should exude stability and good judgment.
Although this does not mean we must dress so out of fashion as to be offensive or strange, it may be more difficult, especially during certain situations, for a woman to be fashionable and modest at the same time, constantly purchasing stylish clothing, that is modest is expected of a Christian woman. Ok, let me add this one thing more. I am so tired of seeing boobs hanging out, belly buttons, butt cheeks, and especially tired of seeing young girls with their pants in front held open for all the world to see. Find some dignity!!!! so I've expressed my opinion. Until next time Willard and I both wish you health and happiness. May God bless and God save.
