One has to wonder just where it will stop, and how far it will go. Like someone else mentioned here, I don't say much for fear of being called judgmental, but my hearts' cry is for us to get back to Scriptural modesty, and dress like ladies, and to teach those principles to our children as well. Thanks for using your voice - Bless you!Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00105831355372502517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474643432450421614.post-48294799057548351642012-03-26T17:08:09.238-07:002012-03-26T17:08:09.238-07:00Thanks for sharing Heather!

I have talked with new Christians, sinners who know very little about Christianity, and Muslims about our carefulness in living. When I explain the principals of why we live as we do, regarding lifestyle issues, there is no argument. Some of them may not change their way of living, but they see where we are coming from and appreciate our carefulness. <br />Your loving Brother-in-law<br />DarylDaryl Hausmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474643432450421614.post-12744615825043133012012-03-25T09:46:16.080-07:002012-03-25T09:46:16.080-07:00Heather, you are a dear.

It's easier said then done, especially if you have friends and family who live quite differently. Some of the holiness "standards" are Biblical principles, but not always black and white, and not always easily taught (maybe that's just my idea!) Any advice welcomed!Glenn Gaulthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05717980645283080584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474643432450421614.post-67434590134664881222012-03-23T10:23:42.485-07:002012-03-23T10:23:42.485-07:00Amen, Heather.

They were brought up the Holiness way, but are now dressing like the world. Last winter I was at an event with my younger nephews and of course had my skirt on, and one of them said to me "Aunt Becky you should have worn your pants since it is so cold." I told him that I do not wear pants, and he was surprised that I didn't. And then just the other day I had one of my nieces and we were going to ride bikes. She had a skirt on, but told me she should have worn her pants to ride the bike. I told her that I ALWAYS wear a skirt when riding my bike. I pray that God would help me to be an example to them. I love them dearly and want to see them make it to heave.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098878753760319361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474643432450421614.post-45703579561184926272012-03-22T19:11:24.455-07:002012-03-22T19:11:24.455-07:00Your little message rings so true with me.

I agree with what y'all had to say. I showed my girls a dirty coffee cup the other day and was telling them that I could wash the outside till it SHONE but that if I later handed them the cup to use they would say, "Mommy, The inside is soooo YUCKY! I don't want to use that cup." I applied this to our lives as well. That we just can't dress like Jesus wants us to on the outside but need to keep maintaining our relationship with HIM on the inside too!<br />Yes, Nicki, you may share this. <br /><br />Blessings and (((HUGS))),<br />~Heather~The Dickinsonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689122652341720167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474643432450421614.post-56483042837315436092012-03-22T08:32:53.548-07:002012-03-22T08:32:53.548-07:00Heather: I agree with you.

I say little in regard to this because I don't want to be considered judgemental, and I know that God has given different amounts of light to different ones. But...it is so important for us to be examples...inside and out! I think what gets us in trouble with passing down our heritage is that the outside is all lined up, but the inside turns ppl off! Nothing worse than a conservatively dressed crabby woman! Lol, but it's true! :-) I'm doing my best to raise my daughters to be free from worldly trappings and to find inner beauty to be the goal. I'm encouraging my boys (who are looking at girls nowadays) to appreciate inner beauty, rather than something that is just visually stimulating. <br />I'm asking God to make me beautiful on the inside so that others who I am in authority over will desire to be like me (free from worldliness, yet "beautiful") and in turn, like Jesus! <br />Keep up the good work! We need your wisdom here in the USA! :-)Stephanie Lynn Burleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07653488867022534369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474643432450421614.post-17062109401714929232012-03-22T08:03:34.531-07:002012-03-22T08:03:34.531-07:00Heather, this post brought tears to my eyes becaus...Heather, this post brought tears to my eyes because this has also been a huge burden on my own heart the last few years as I watch my own dear friends, family, and peers go that route! Please know that you are not alone in these thoughts and prayers for our churches because there are many who are praying fervently for revival of the good "old-fashioned holiness way"! I pray that my own heart will always only seek Him and His desires for my life and "outward appearance"! <br />Sharon Knightknightfirstladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11282487885566252920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474643432450421614.post-18905453347832114932012-03-22T07:47:36.070-07:002012-03-22T07:47:36.070-07:00Heather, I completely get what you are saying and ...Heather, I completely get what you are saying and agree whole heartedly. We have had many conversations on this topic around our dinner table. We are doing our best to raise careful living Christians and it is NOT easy due to our own people sometimes. My prayer for our young ones is a tender heart towards God and He will direct them. We as parents must know what we believe and why with our whole hearts and NOT waiver when teaching our younger ones. We serve a Holy God and that gets lost in the message of love I think. Keep the faith and know that there are believers out here doing what we can along side of you.

Seriously, what are they trying to fit in "To?" Styles are anywhere from gothic to classy and Lots of variables in between, so Anything GOES, so why can't modesty be as much "IN" as anything else. To me MODESTY is "IN" and I get a lot of respect and comments when we go out as a family dressed modestly.Rob and Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03832264175106257366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474643432450421614.post-36958016798414813062012-03-22T07:08:09.960-07:002012-03-22T07:08:09.960-07:00Great thoughts, my Anne of Green Gables friend ;o)...Great thoughts, my Anne of Green Gables friend ;o)! (Thanks for the comment on my blog!) Nathan makes the point that we spend way too much time defining worldliness by the world. We're definitely at least 10-15 years behind them, so it's 'ok'- modesty and 'standards' HAVE to be held up against Scripture alone! Otherwise, we'll just drift along. I'm all for classy, I love when the 'in' colors are flattering to me, I love looking beautiful for my husband. I'm against frumpy and 'letting oneself go to pot.' But all that must come under being pleasing to the Lord. Keep encouraging your ladies back to the WORD, as I know you do already!Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10541567330511968163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8474643432450421614.post-28439802060255817812012-03-22T04:38:43.432-07:002012-03-22T04:38:43.432-07:00So happy your parents made it safely.
