Sound Doctrine, Sound Words – Phil Johnson
March 11, 2009
Sound Doctrine, Sound Words (Part 1)
This morning I want to look at two verses in Titus 2—verses 7-8. This is an admonition from Paul to Titus, his friend, partner, protege, and true son in the faith. Titus is one of the unsung heroes of the early church—a young pastor whose faithful support and constant behind-the-scenes [...]

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. [...]
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?
“…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 [...]
Modesty Posts across the Web

(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, [...]
Don’t Let Your Daughter Send an Invitation to Her Party – Revive Our Hearts
November 7, 2008
By Trent Griffith
If I remember right, the year was 1985. As a pimple-faced high-school senior, I attended a Christian youth convention along with 7,000 other bundles of exploding hormones (otherwise known as teenagers). The keynote speaker was a young and impressive black preacher who held us on the edge of our seats with his high [...]
Modesty Quote
November 6, 2008
What would it mean if our churches stopped encouraging our own teenage and preteen daughters to dress like Hooters Girls? What would it mean if we insisted that our young girls insist on being treated with the dignity with which they were created? What if fathers and brothers and uncles took seriously the command to [...]
Maidens of Virtue – Stacy McDonald
November 5, 2008
Stacy McDonald author of Raising Maidens of Virtue: A Study of Feminine Loveliness for Mothers and Daughters in a post about Modesty had these questions.
If our hearts are truly modest, then our demeanor, our dress, our speech, and attitude will all eventually line up. Sometimes it means we need to be taught and challenged, but [...]
The Style Quiz by Nancy Leigh DeMoss
November 4, 2008
Take this test by Nancy Leigh DeMoss and see what you think.
1. According to the Bible, the primary purpose of clothing is to cover the body.
2. There’s nothing right or wrong about particular clothing styles. It’s all just a matter of taste and personal opinion.
3. The Bible tells us what styles of clothing Christians should [...]
Paul Washer on Modesty in the Church
November 4, 2008
“I do not so much have to pray up when I’m preaching under a tent in inner-city San Anton[io], but I have to pray up and know that I am walking with the Lord when I walk into an average Baptist church because of the way most people dress. And you say, “It’s legalism.” No [...]
