Genesis recounts the creation of humans and makes it clear that our Creator delights in us. God called humans the highlight of creation. We weren’t simply “good” but “very good.” I don’t believe he meant that only on an existential level. God seems to enjoy the appearance of his pièce de resistance. The creation of humans is described with a level ...
I can’t locate a single instance where the Bible implies that sexual assault is the woman’s fault. Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11), Tamar (2 Samuel 13), Dinah (Genesis 34)—all three stories are recorded as instances where men sinned, not as examples of women who “had it coming” because of the way they behaved or dressed. Scripture doesn’t say or even imply...
Jesus’ teaching is consistent with Paul’s thoughts on sexual immorality (or vice versa, really). He warns that “everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart” (Matthew 5:28). Jesus doesn’t add “unless she’s dressed revealingly” or “except when you feel like you can’t control yourself.” When y...

We need to teach girls that their bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, amazing creations of God, and priceless purchases bought by Christ. Girls should learn to respect and love their bodies because they’re created in the image of God. The purpose of the human body is to bear that sacred image in a dark, crazy world. That’s what we should be tell...
A godly woman will dress modestly in a way that isn’t distracting. It doesn’t eclipse her character or her message, but rather enhances it . There’s absolutely nothing wrong with wearing a lovely outfit, being fashion forward, or having a unique flair.
Jun 2, 2009 · 1 Timothy 2:9–10. “Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control…with what is proper for women who profess godliness — with good works.”
Jan 6, 2015 · 1 Peter 5:5–6 urges us to be clothed with humility. Proverbs 31:25 describes a woman who is clothed in strength and dignity. Psalm 132:9 talks about being clothed in righteousness. Instead of passing down a list of rules for what we wear, the Bible encourages us to "wear" the qualities of Christ.
Feb 8, 2008 · Biblical modesty is more about what you are than what you wear. We draw our current understanding of modesty from several biblical concepts, including the biblical word modest (KJV), which refers to appropriateness.
