We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

Cultures and Modesty


Cultures that worship nature and treasure sensuality tend to dress immodestly. Those which make an idolatry out of material possessions, often fall prey to a foppish enslavement to high fashion. On the other hand, cultures which embrace true Christian piety will seek to make personal holiness the driving standard for their dress codes. They will develop clothing which emphasizes biblical principles like distinction, functionality and modesty. In short, dress is not neutral.

A camp in Northwest Louisiana has given me a great appreciation of their standards. Most youth don't want to go because they don't like the standards. Even some of the parents didn't like it either. Their standard for dress, music and the Word were all held high for the Glory of God! Southland Christian Camp in Ringgold, LA.
