Matthew 5:28

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust

after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

I have to be careful not to use this blog as a Soapbox; or wait,

is that what a blog is?

I have a big problem with immodesty. Not the kind that makes me judge, but the kind that makes my Spirit cringe.

I understand the world feeling the need to dress the way they want, wear that flirtatious mini skirt, showoff that cleavage, but Christian Women?

Is Modesty a thing of the past?

It makes my soul do summer salts.; I get uncomfortable. Things run through my mind:

There are grown men in this room,

The only man you should try to impress is your OWN husband,
in the privacy of your own home,

Do you know we are at church?

I feel like running over to them, and tucking a napkin into the top of their shirt (kind of joking, but not really).

How do I say something without sounding like I’m judging? Or should I really be concerned about that part of it?

What are your thoughts? Do you have a similar situation?

Jocelyn says,
Your shirts should be tight enough to show
you’re a woman, but loose enough to show you’re a lady.
