Whole Bible Applications: Modesty

Bruce S. Bertram from The Word of God Ministries and http://www.wholebible.com lays out another application of whole Bible Christianity, this one concerning modesty.

We frequently run across articles or videos preaching modesty. Usually the message is directed at women, and amounts to finger pointing about the way they dress. But what does the Bible actually say about modesty? Are there specific guidelines about skirts versus pants, or hemlines, or head coverings? We think not, and uncover the biblical reasons for what we think in this video.

We also look at the best way to bring about modesty, from a biblical standpoint. We don't think preaching about the amount of exposed skin really covers the issue very well. The problem is not outside. The problem is inside, and the only power that will make a change is the Word of God. We think we should be concerned about modesty, of course, but the way to encourage it is not by thundering condemnation from the pulpit. We encourage it by living the Word, and teaching the Word.
