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.
