1. Summer and Today’s society: we need to Dress to please the Lord not the world. We live in an age that glorifies immodesty and immorality. Civilization is good; civilization in exposing nakedness is not good. God himself created summer, and all seasons. If God was not serious to give command for women to dress properly he would have said thou shall dress half naked in summer or full in winter. Gods command was for all seasons, for all situations and for all cultures and for all women, for all time.
Summer should not be excuse; souls are more exposed to occasions of offending God through sinful fashions of dress.
Immodesty has become so commonly accepted that it doesn’t bother most people. Most people feel no shame if they see someone on television. or in public who is dressed immodestly, and wouldn’t have any problem dressing the same way. As summer temperatures rise standards of modesty seem to fall. In the U.S.A., as well as many other nations of the world, our societies have become the most sexually saturated societies. Today’s society says, “You can do whatever you think is right”. In the summertime especially, we have our biggest opportunity to test our consecration to Jesus. Sheer blouses, halter-tops, “short” shorts, and skimpy bathing-suits are the norm for many careless Christian women. They use the rationalization that “it’s hot” or “I’m swimming” to excuse their lack of modesty. Clothes that fit too tightly, tops that are cut too low, and skirts that are cut too short are not only a distraction to those around us-but the wearers show an unloving lack of concern for their responsibility as a representative of Jesus.
Unfortunately, it seems that many Christians are lost in their own selfish little world-either oblivious or uncaring about the affect they have on others. They may even appear to have a real excitement and love for the Lord-however, their body is sending out a totally different message. “Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but the woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.” (Proverbs 31:30)
2. True Godly and Christian women: Godly women in the bible never dressed improperly. Godly women should stand firm with holiness and modesty being her watchword. Mother Mary (Mother of Jesus), whom God has presented to us, was the Perfect Model of Modesty and Purity.
True beauty radiates from the face of a godly woman, clothing with the righteousness of God. If a woman dresses with dignity and carries herself with grace, most men will approach that woman with respect and honor. If a woman dresses a man will often view her as a sexual object.
But God wants women to be people of influence not because of their female “charms” but because of their character. We have the Holy Spirit living in us and that is supposed to make us different. We are supposed to be watching out for each other and bringing each other closer to Christ, not causing another to lust. Women who love and respect the Lord won’t wear bikinis at the beach, or wear miniskirts or pose in filth magazines. Any swimsuit or any mini skirts or shorts, no matter how modest it claims to be will inevitably cling to your body, drawing attention to the parts that cause men to stumble.
What a privilege it is to honor Him with more than our lip service, but also with our bodies and minds as Paul states in Romans 12! The Godly woman is the woman who draws attention to herself for the cause of the Gospel, not to be considered sexy, freedom of dress.
3. What God and Bible says? The Bible will be our guide and authority not our choice and feelings. Our priority as a Christian is the biblical not the cultural. Dressing modestly is a gift from God. Modesty in dress is one of the identifying characteristics of true saints. In the Bible, God clearly indicates his desire for us to hide our nakedness from others. He helped Adam and Eve hide their nakedness after they sinned against Him. Evidently, the “aprons” that Adam and Eve made for themselves didn’t provide enough coverage in God’s eyes, so He made them garments of skins and dressed them properly. “And the eyes of them both were opened: and when they perceived themselves to be naked, they sewed together fig leaves, and made themselves aprons… And the Lord God made for Adam and his wife, garments of skins, and clothed them.” (Genesis 3:7, 21). Our Outward dress should match our inward holiness; and if our inward holiness isn’t up to standard, then let our outer dress reflect the lofty goal we aspire to be in Christ Jesus.
4. Parents have responsibility: As the twentieth century progressed, the Bible and Godly standards was increasingly ignored in our families, relationships, in our society and cultures and shunted aside as an absolute guide and authority for life.
Parents should be committed in raising modest daughters. : A true Godly and a Christian parent will instruct from earliest childhood, how their daughters are to be dressed. we must teach them God’s perspective of modest dress, and educate them about the temptations of men. And we must have clear standards, informed by Scripture and not culture. This will make it easier for them to follow our leadership when difficult choices are necessary. So many girls and young women are growing up today without direction and, like so many misled sheep, are following immoral fashions to the destruction of souls. If we want our girls to be treated with the dignity and respect they deserve, we’ll teach them to dress modestly. If we want to protect them from boys who are more interested in their bodies than in their minds, hearts, or spirits, we’ll teach them to shop for clothes that present a passion for purity rather than a plea for attention. But as followers of Christ we are to pursue not just physical purity, but mental, emotional, and spiritual purity as well.
When parents let their twelve-year-old dress like she’s twenty, they are not protecting her from vulnerability to unhealthy, premature relationships. Regardless of how powerless we may feel, we do have control over our daughters’ wardrobe as long as they’re living under our roofs. We simply have to be secure enough in our role as parents to exercise that control. If your daughter looks to others to determine what she should wear, she will be more likely to look to others to tell her what to do in other areas of her life. She will be more likely to follow the crowd into sexual compromise. Teach her to blaze her own trail through life — one that will steer clear of the many pitfalls to sexual compromise. Better to prepare her for modesty in the near future by expecting it today. Every struggle you may experience along the way toward instilling these values is worth the fight. Every ounce of energy you pour into encouraging these concepts is a worthy investment. These lessons on modesty and responsible stewardship will guide your daughter not just through puberty and her upcoming teenage years but also throughout her lifetime. The “accepted styles” of clothing generally tend to be immodest, and it is often the case that even Christians, will either encourage or at least allow their children to dress immodestly in order for the child to be accepted by others. They want their children to “fit in” with their friends and classmates, and this desire leads them to compromise biblical principles of modest dress.
This is especially true in the areas of sports and cheerleading. Though these particular activities usually require participants to dress immodestly, yet many parents are so excited about their son or daughter’s abilities and accomplishments in these fields that they are willing to compromise their scruples to promote the child’s physical excellence and acceptance. These parents will sometimes argue “the children are young, and these things do not matter as much at this time in their lives.” Oh, to the contrary! It is exactly at “this time in their lives” when these things matter most! Young people are often more impressionable and teachable than older ones. It is in one’s “youth” that he should “remember His creator” and develop a deep-seated God-Consciousness (Eccl. 12:1). It is in these early years that the principles of Godliness, including the principles of modesty and decency, must be ingrained in the children. The sense of needing to be covered, as well as the sense of shame when uncovered, should be a part of a child’s early psyche. Immodesty leads to lasciviousness, lasciviousness often leads to fornication. God wants people, including young people, to dress and behave in such a way that will not present a stumbling block to others. And once again, let us not be naive. If 10-12 year old children are sexually active, and 12 and 13 year old girls are getting pregnant, then those in this age group are certainly capable of lustful thoughts! As for stumbling blocks, Jesus said, “It would be better for them if a heavy mill stone was tied around their neck and they were thrown into the depths of the sea” (Matt. 18:6). This “stumbling block” is exactly the kind of offense which could lead to the sin Jesus discussed in Matthew 5:28. There He said, “But I say to you, that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.” This “adultery in the heart” is mental only because it lacks opportunity to be fulfilled physically. Those who dress immodestly will generally make the argument that the fault is not with them (or with those whom they defend), but that it is with the person who does the lusting. No one denies that the man who lusts after a woman is wrong, and Matthew 5:28 clearly teaches this. Furthermore, the man’s lust for the woman is wrong regardless of how she dresses! James 1:14-15 coupled with 1 Corinthians 10:13 proves that each
