The Soul of Modesty

1. The attitude of a modest woman-

*All respectable apparel is the statement of a modest woman.
* Immodesty is an expression of arrogance-it is the act of drawing attention to your dress.
Modesty=self control
*Modesty is foreign to the secular fashion designers.
*A woman should examine her motive and goals.
*Her heart will dictate her wardrobe and appearance.
*What statement does your clothes say about your heart?
*Do you take God to the Gap clothing store?
*Whose approval do you crave?

***There is timeless relevance to this message: is our style honoring GOD or choosing to obey the world's desires?
*Young women are often ignorant of their effect of their dress on men.

Men's testimonies:
"each and every day on campus is a battle. A battle against my sin-to flee from youthful lust."
"I rejoice when I see a woman choosing to honor GOD in her dress."
"Whenever I see a girl choosing to dress in an immodest way-it makes it harder for me to value her and to honor her."

2. The Appearance of the modest woman-
*What is the most noticeable thing about you: clothing or character

3. The Allegiance of the modest woman-

Women you are obligated to pray for the lost-we are to be distinctively different-not self-righteously distinct; but to have a heart for the lost.
