Modesty is a Team Sport


"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people."  Proverbs 14:34
What we do isn't about us, rather,  it's about Christ. With that in mind, our attire shouldn't ever have a need to go beyond what is 'modest'. While it's nice to be 'fashionable', it can't be our foremost motive when shopping or dressing--we must be motivated by Christ.  When we think of ourselves as ambassadors,  representatives of Christ in the world, then we can put aside our desires for 'attention' and see ourselves as his emissaries.  Modesty is just another way we live our lives as believers. When we can think of our clothes as a message we send, the representatives of Christ should have no problems or scruples with rejecting the world's message and bearing one of hope and redemption.
