(Charlene Aaron) Modesty can be a divisive topic, even within the Christian community. Two arguments usually come to mind: The first being legalism. The second, a “God doesn’t care what I wear, he’s more concerned about what’s in my heart” sentiment. So how much skin can a woman show before it’s a sin? Ayesha Curry, wife of NBA player Stephen Curry, sparked fiery debate when she expressed on Twitter her preference in clothing.
She tweeted that she would rather keep a more modest appearance than what today’s trends demand. She also wrote that she’ll take “classy over trendy any day of the week.” Curry received a ton of backlash from people who said she was shaming women who dress less modestly. Actress Meagan Good, who is also a Christian, has often been criticized for wearing clothing viewed as too sexy. Good, an actress who is married to film producer and minister Devon Franklin, turned heads when she wore a blue dress with a deep plunging neckline at the BET Awards in 2013. CONTINUE
As lasciviousness peddles birth control and a church that carries the burdons of it; both are none of HIS. Let the Holy Scriptures lead your way!
1 Timothy 2, 9 “In like manner women also in decent apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety, not with plaited hair or gold, or pearls or costly attire.”
