"Do we confess Christ in our dress, adorning ourselves with plain and modest apparel? Is our adorning that of the meek and quiet spirit which is of so great price in the sight of God? ... There is no use in telling you that you must not wear this or that, for if the love of these vain things is in your heart, your laying off your adornments will only be like cutting the foliage off a tree. The inclinations of the natural heart would again assert themselves...On one side of the line is the self-denying follower of Jesus Christ, on the other side of the line is the self-indulgent world-lover, pandering in fashion, engaging in frivolity, and pampering himself in forbidden pleasures. On this side of the line the Christian cannot go. It is no place for him." { SD 292}
"Looking like and what we profess to be" is a principle for each of us to consider as the subject of modesty is presented. This presentation will show how significant and how necessary it is to overcome what God hates as described in His warning given in Proverbs 6:17. Learn what it means in each of our lives to "win" the battle of choosing between God's Christian standards and the "norm" of today's world of fashion.
