cAn i wEar dAt??

Now this would be controversial. I might be getting losta rebukes..=S but lets go back 2 the word of God.

as u browse thru frenster or any of dos type of websites, juz check out d way ppl dress up (esp gurls) in all their pics.. all dressed up so revealing..wats d purpose??

2 major principles in God's word b4 i continue :

  1. 1 Cor 10:31-32;

    so wheter u eat o drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble...

  2. 1 Cor 10:23-24;

    Everything is permissible-BUT not everything is beneficial. Everything is permissible but not everything is constructive. Nobody should seek his own good but the good of others.

so the kingdom of God is not about food or clothing. " I can dress WATEVA way i want as long as i feel GOOD!" this is wat ppl mite tink bout deir dressing. but ask urself dis b4 putting on dos clothes.

Questions

  1. am i trying to dress up lik sum world icon (eg.britney spears, shakira, etc.)?
  2. am i trying to attract peoples attention?

Answer

  1. We as chrisitians should not follow the way the world does tings. So all ur frens are dressing up lik all dis stars. Must u folo dem? Do not be conformed to the ways of this world. Do not love the world or ANYTHING in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world- the cravings of sinful men, the lust of his eyes and the and the boastings of what he has and does comes not from the Father but from the world (1 John 2:15-16). from this i tink its obvious that if u love the ways of the world den sumting is wrong.
  2. as mentioned in d verse, we should not seek our own good but the good of others. Do u tink its 4 the good of sum1 wen u cause sum1 to fall in2 sin by causing them to lust after u? A quote by Paul Wahser bout the this type of dressing, "if ur clothes were a frame for ur face, God would be please. if ur clothes were a frame for ur body, God would not be please."

I dun mean to judge any1 but i tink dis is sumtin dat v shud criously consider. As ambassadors for Christ, the world is watching. If u were to dress anyway the world does, how does that make u any different from the people in the world?

REMEMBER..

do all tings for His glory.

Serving Him,

David
