On Modesty: a Question for You, Sister, who are Tired of the Modesty Talk.
27.2.14
Yes, it happens in Mexico too. The "modesty talk," and all the different opinions surrounding it. The arguments are the same, the same Bible verses about one's liberty are also brought up. It should not surprise us, we are made of the same material here, in Brasil, in the USA, and Chile.
So, I won't write another article to try to convince you that being immodest is a temptation for women, or that is a good, good thing to pursue modesty for the sake of God, your dad, your brothers in Christ, your future husband, your children, or your testimony (there are some who have done it wonderfully already).
I only have one question for you.
If you are a true believer and proclaim the love of Christ, why is it so hard for you to just say,
"Because I love you, brothers and sisters in Christ, and because I have heard that the way I am dressing is a stumble block for many of you (I hadn't stop to consider how hard it was for you to fight against pornography! Please, forgive me for not helping you!), I will just change the way I dress. No big problem at all. I love you more than I love this skirt or this top."?
Please, dear Sister, try hard not to answer with one of the old arguments that you have already memorized. Answer this in the prayer closet (not over a coffee table with the group of friends whom you know will try to appease your conscience); be honest and give it a second thought. Pray about it, let the Scriptures speak to you and then answer it before God.
May God give us grace to love our neighbor as ourselves,
