The Christian What NOT to Wear

For the past few months, I have been hearing from Christian girls all over the place that they are tired of guys staring at various parts of their bodies. The girls I have heard from are all blaming the guys for the lusting gazes. But is it really their fault?

Okay girls, this is something that I think we need to discuss. I know that not everyone here has a problem with this (in fact, most Christian girls don't), but as summer is coming up, I wanted to discuss this. We need to be careful about what we wear. Stop complaining about how guys are looking at us and take a look in the mirror.

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." Matthew 7:3-5

Look at your spiritual nature: We are sinful and lustful creatures, just like guys. Don't deny it. We have all ogled a guy at the pool with his shirt off, etc. Just because you're a Christian doesn't mean that you don't lust after guys like non Christian girls do.

Look at your physical body: What are you wearing to make guys want to look at you? How are you acting? As Christians, we are to wear modest clothing and to act modestly.

Chances are, the guys are looking at you because YOU are either wearing something that causes them to lust after you or you are acting in a way that makes them look at you. Let's focus on the appearance.

"...Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness-with good works." 1 Timothy 2:9-10
