Modesty

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

“That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;” 1 Thessalonians 4:4

“For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His holy Spirit.” 1 Thessalonians 4:7

Friends

"Staying close to godly friends helps us to stay close to God. :)"

Who are your friends? Are they people who love and respect God? People who will help bring you closer to God? Or are they people who hate and disrespect God? People who use His Holy Name in vain? People who do not take heed to His Word and live according to the ways of this world? Friendship with the world is enmity with God (James 4:4). Friendship with the world will take you AWAY from God rather than you getting closer to God by your constant fellowship (with those who choose to corrupt themselves).

Ask God to bring His people, His children into your life. Those will be the people that Love God beyond all things! They will be the friends that encourage you to get stronger into God and have awesome fellowship. They will be the friends that God approves of--for they are after His own heart. Thus you will be influenced to be after His own heart and not men/women's heart. You will be influenced to be focused on God and not distracted. By having a true relationship with God is actually the only way anybody will ever be a good witness and example to the world, that the lost souls may be saved.

We are the ambassadors of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20)! And so as He walked we must walk (1 John 2:6, 1 John 4:17)!

Word of advice, from the Holy Bible: "Make no friendship with an angry man; and with a furious man thou shalt not go: Lest thou learn his ways, and get a snare to thy soul." Proverbs 22:24-25.

Modesty

“...I said 'Those must hurt' [the woman's high heels] 'cause her foot looked like it was stuck in there, I mean really stuck in there. And she goes 'Yeah, it does hurt', I said 'Then why you wearing it?' and she said 'Because it looks good'. We can't have that thinking. [Now leaving high heel topic and speaking of modesty in general:]You know, if you're getting dressed and you're gonna look in the mirror at your backside to see how good those pants look, something is wrong. You know we have to start understanding, we need to have a shirt to cover the areas that nobody should be seeing not revealing them to the world. Where there's a cause there's an effect, and I tell you ladies, do you want your man to go out there and look at other women? And you might say 'No', well why do you cause other men to look at you? You know, we have to realize these things.” -Paul Nison

Oooh Amen!!!!!! We ladies need to dress how the Bible approves—how God approves. Let me ask a question: Are the clothes the average (Christian) women wear (whether it be in church or not) in line with what the Bible says and acceptable/well pleasing unto God? Also, are we only wearing things that pertain for women to wear or is there also things we are wearing that are...well...mens' clothing? If so, that needs to go, Deuteronomy 22:5

Scriptures To Remember

James 4:7- “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he WILL FLEE FROM YOU.”

Psalms 50:15- “And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliever thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.”

Psalms 46:1-2: “God is our Refuge and Strength, a VERY PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and thouhg the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;”

Pick up your shield of Faith and use your Sword—the Word of God. “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked....and the Sword of the Spirit,which is the Word of God.”

Kol (All) Ephesians 6:10-18 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, ad in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having o the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts if the wicked. And the helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;”

“Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice. Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise think on these things.” Philippians 4:4-8
