Today was one our first really hot days where I live. As we are approaching the "hot" season, many of us begin to shed our clothes--some shed "all" there clothes or, at least they might as well. Christians need to think very seriously about how they dress and appear. Do we blend in with the world at the beach--unclothed and immodest? Are our shorts just like those of the world or do they cover us as the Bible clearly directs? Below are some scriptures and comments borrowed from a church bulletin article I received. The comments are not mine but I commend them to your reading.
1) Matt. 5:13-15--Our aim in life should be to bring glory and honor to God.
2) Matt. 5:28--Lusting in the heart for one who is not your spouse is sinful. We should not participate in it either by lusting or dressing for others to look and lust at.
3) 1 Pet. 3:3-4--Make sure you dress in such a way to reflect who you are serving on the inside.
4) Luke 17:1--I do not want to be a stumbling block in any way.
Think about how you appear before the world, but more importantly, how you appear before the Lord.
