I wish that I had kept clothes from years ago both because of the quality of the clothing back then and also because of the styles - you could still find things that were pretty and femninine without being provocative. I too feel that we ought to dress neatly and as befits a godly woman. Personally I think jeans are out for church. Don't have a problem with them otherwise. Dress like a woman, ladies. Think of others, not just the men and what wouldn't cause them to stumble. But set an example for the younger women and girls too. They are looking up to you and will likely follow your example. God made us male and female and I think the way that we dress is a way to reflect that, showing the differences between men and women. The world wants to blur the lines between male and female. We have the chance to show our feminity and God's workmanship, reflecting His creation and creative order. God is a God of order and beauty and we can reflect that too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-79958913922905309502013-03-23T23:02:48.728-04:002013-03-23T23:02:48.728-04:00I agree and love to read your blog every day!

I like what this lady...very good article Elizabeth<br /><br />I like what this lady Mary Crawley said: She said ""Once you get a hold of how much God loves you, and what it cost Him to redeem you, you will never have a problem with your self-image. My self-worth is tied up in the character of God. He says that I am of great worth, not that I'm worthy but I am of great worth. Why because of CHRIST"<br /><br />the best answer apart from the Bible of course that I've every heard is -"If your clothing is a frame for your face from which the glory of Christ springs forth, it is of GOD. but if your clothing is just a frame for your BODY it is sensual and God hates it."

I go to a church where casual clothing is acceptable and there is a wide range in style varying from dressed-up suit and tie to dressed-down blue jeans and t-shirts. I think if your attitude toward it is this: That you dress in a manner that you feel is respectful toward God and in a manner that is also respectful of others around you (ie. not intentionally trying to provoke lustful feelings in others). An author of a book (can't remember exactly what title) I once read addressed this issue in favor of dressing up as that author saw herself as an ambassador of Christ and as such thought it was important to dress well (not opulently but not shabbily) in order to pay respect to God.Sarahhttp://homemakerforallseasons.comnoreply@blogger.com
