We're taking a break from activities while Kate takes a nap. I was reading the FITS leaders' handbook, and thought I'd share a little something I read there. I think it's wonderful.
There's actually a whole page dedicated to this (a part for gals, and part for guys), but here's a brief excerpt:
For the Girls…
We are the temple of the living God. --2 Corinthians 6:16
I ... want women to dress modestly. --1 Timothy 2:9
God asks women to dress modestly, to treat their bodies as the temple, and to present themselves as living sacrifices to Himself. He didn't mention that with over 4 million pornography websites ... the woman is now more than ever easy to be seen as an object, and men are struggling more than ever with their visual addictions.
“The Christian woman wants to guard her clothing in order to dress modestly; she wants to watch the way she dresses, walks, moves, and behaves in public. She wants to bring honor to the Lord and to build a strong testimony--a testimony that she loves the Lord and has committed her life to…help people, not seduce them…serve people, not destroy them…point people to Jesus, not to attract them to herself…teach people righteous behavior, not fleshy and worldly behavior.” --Anonymous
Great post! Hits home, esp to this Mom of 2 girlies. Thanks! Bly!
ReplyDeleteWhat is FITS? Is it a Bible study? I've been looking for a good Bible study, I'd really like to ATTEND one, OUT of the house with other ADULT women!
