“Immature” Believers
May 7, 2009
What should our response be to a Christian that is exhibiting behavior not in keeping with the faith?
What do we do when we find a believer in sin?
Do we ignore them and pray that eventually they will get the message?
Or do we instruct them?
Does it really matter?
We should always turn to the Scriptures to see [...]

Cell Phones and Teens
March 7, 2009
This is something my parents and grandparents never had to deal with. Don’t you wish you could go back to those simpler days?
But we can’t so the next thing is to be aware and prepared. This is another good reason that my children don’t have cell phones.
Does Your Child’s Cell Phone Preach Another Gospel? (This [...]
Kohl’s Stores Think Britney Makes a Good Role Model !?!
March 6, 2009
As if it wasn’t hard enough shopping for young preteens! Thankfully, I never liked Kohl’s anyway, the thriftstore is more to my liking.
Kohl’s signs marketing deal with Britney Spears
Kohl’s executives are confident that Spears will resonate with young shoppers “who want great style at exceptional value,” said the company’s executive vice president and [...]
Modest Fashion Week – March 9 – 13
March 5, 2009
This might be a very interesting discussion on modesty. I have enjoyed reading the posts at Stay-At-Home Missionary for quite a while. I think you ladies will enjoy the discussion also.
Beauty, Modesty, and Femininity from Stay-At-Home Missionary
Now, I know that many people have many different ideas of what modesty is and what modesty is not. [...]
Children’s Clothing and Their Character
January 1, 2009
Moore To The Point has a guest post about clothing, children and the attitudes involved. It is very thought provoking.
Clothing and the Character of the Child
The jeans that are long enough for Hannah’s ever-lengthening legs seem to have gained this extra length by trimming too many inches off the top. The sweatpants that fit her [...]
Maybe a Denim Skirt?
December 12, 2008
Surely, there is some middle ground between dressing our daughters as “harlots in training” and dressing them in Muslim hijab.
How about some denim skirts?
Then they can marry these homeschool musicians.
Ours is just a 12 passenger van. We have Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Mozart plus America’s 25 Favorite Hymns series in the van. I wouldn’t say we blast [...]
What Are We Doing To Our Children?
December 12, 2008
Girls aged 5 sexualised by toys like Bratz dolls, MSPs told
Bratz dolls, which have been challenging Barbie for supremacy in the girls’ toy market, were condemned by the NSPCC as the committee opened an inquiry into increasing levels of sexual imagery in goods aimed at children.
Tom Narducci, a senior consultant for the NSPCC, criticised the [...]
Levi’s Jeans Destined for the Trash Heap
December 4, 2008
Thankfully, we had not seen this ad series, since we do not usually watch TV and if we do we turn the TV off or change the channel during commercials. But I am so amazed at how quickly ads are becoming more and more offensive.
Levi’s takes offensive to a whole new level
This site has the [...]
Paul Washer on the Virtuous Woman
November 29, 2008
Are you a virtuous woman or a sensual woman?
Your Epidermis Is Showing and I Don’t Want to See It !!!
November 21, 2008
This is an old post but still very applicable. Here is a humorous look at the need for modesty.
An open letter to “Hoochie Mamas”
Yes, you know who you are. You are everywhere. Tell me, please—where can I flee from your presence? You are my age (30’s-40’s+) and you are spending way too much time in [...]
The Soul of Modesty – C. J. Mahaney
November 16, 2008
“Modesty is humilty expressed in dress.” C. J. Mahaney
1 Tim 2:8-10
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which [...]
“…man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart…”
November 15, 2008
This is a verse that is commonly used to excuse all manner of outward appearance.
1 Sam 16:7 …for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. KJV
This is one of those verses that even non-Christians seem to know and throw out along with “judge not”. However, if you will look [...]
Modesty Survey – The Rebelution (1 Tim 4:12)
November 14, 2008
Modesty Alert Post – This may not be appropriate for men who do not have daughters or are not in leadership over women.
Although the survey answers were done by teens and men, 12 – 60 years old, they can be rather frank in their descriptions of immodest attire, clothing items and behavior in women. [...]
“Free to Be Modest” by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
November 13, 2008
I have had several fans of the “Bama Twins” get quite upset with my stating that they dress immodestly. The conclusion I’ve arrived at is:
Those who are defending immodesty are the “Lord” of their lives and they refuse to allow Jesus to be Lord of their lives, despite the lip service they give on [...]
Walking Billboards – Stacy McDonald
November 12, 2008
Wear that is commonly called “Jesus-wear” is a fad that has been around for years. Youth groups try to outdo each other in the “best” Christian T-shirt. There is always a new slogan or verse found to “share the gospel” with the passersby. I won’t go into why I feel that most of that is [...]
Modesty – Nakedness in the Bible
November 11, 2008
When God was giving Moses instructions for the temple and for the priests, He gave very detailed instructions. Right down to the under garments! For those who think wrongly, that the Lord does not care about our clothing, all you have to do is actually read through the Bible.
Ex 28:42-43
42 And thou shalt make [...]

(Sorry for the bad links, I think they are fixed.)
Christian women have obligation to dress modestly, Mary Mohler says
The world’s attitude toward fashion, Mohler said, should not be the church’s.
“The [world's] attitude is if you’ve got it, flaunt it,” she said. “Leave as little to the imagination as possible. Regenerate Christian women, I don’t believe, [...]
Letter To Mother’s of Daughters
November 8, 2008
Kelli at The Land of Boys wrote this letter months ago but it is very appropriate for all mothers, here is a quote from it.
OPEN LETTER TO MOTHERS OF DAUGHTERS
Sometimes just because something is fashionable or in style does not mean that it should be worn by an adult, much less a child or a [...]
