Modesty is a Foreign Concept
The world has no concept of modesty. They wear as little as the law will allow. After an hour in Wal-Mart today, I was exhausted from seeing so much immodesty that I posted on Facebook, “Just say no to cleavage! Stop assaulting the public!” I thought my followers on Twitter needed to hear this, as well. I lost six followers on Twitter, as a result. That is not surprising. People do not want to hear such things.
Women or men who walk around barely dressed, could ostensibly be accused of a small measure of sexual harassment on the public. They have a responsibility to be modest and to not be a s tumbling-block to the men around her (1 Timothy 2:8-9; Romans 14:13). Instead, they want to do anything they want without consequence.
This is even a serious problem in the church and it is getting worse. We need to be courageous and teach on this important subject.
Funny thing is, almost everyone will admit that immodesty is out of control in our society. Yet, things keep getting worse. There is a lot to consider about that from a psychological perspective.

Like everything else, modesty begins in the home. If mom and dad go around half-dressed, guess what the children are going to do? Children must have godly role models, and Britney Spears isn’t one of them!

Amen! I’m glad you are getting the word out. I’ve been trying to dress more modestly lately (even considering skirts), and this is such an encouragement.
