It's Coming, Folks
 

There seems to be a new buzzword in churchdom these days...modesty and *gasp* HOLINESS

Seems the new gold mine for Christianity is to "stand out" and be separated from the world. Not in a JUDGEMENTAL or CONDEMNING fashion, but good old fashioned conviction...(as said by the fellow on the radio preaching broadcast...NOT apostolic or pentecostal)

Now, would this be an ever slurring of the lines between apostolic beliefs and protestant beliefs so that the only differences between the movements is the belief in the infilling of the Holy Spirit by unknown tongues and Jesus' name baptism?

Is this the "new" way to "control" people by telling them they should wear modest clothing?? People are sheep, you know, and, just love to be told what to do, in small doses...will people clamour for this type of teaching??

Have you any thoughts???

Here we go again . . . :coffee2

Makes good sense to me, I have no problem with it. :coffee2

It's not controlling people by telling them they should wear modest clothing. It's common sense but not everyone has common sense. :hypercoffee

My pastors tell us to wear modest clothing. They just don't have a laundry list of what their definition of it is and then force everyone to conform to that.

Dressing modestly will show your holiness, not wearing specific articles of clothing.

But.....but.....

He was admonishing the people to get involved with asking each other and approaching each other on the appropriatness of dress.....

HE EVEN SAID THAT BARE MIDRIFFS CAN CAUSE A BROTHER TO GO A LIL CRAZY IN HIS MIND....

I mean, what's UP with this???

Dressing modestly doesn't show your holiness. You can dress modestly and be incredibly unholy inside.

I know those bare midriffs do that to me (unless it is a fat girl of course, then she cancels out the lat 10 tempting women you have seen):hypercoffee

chubby chicks in short shirts, with their fat spilling over their too tight pants...

can cause anyone to go a little crazy...

thats just stupid, and tacky....did I mention gross?
