The Standard
There is so much talk and debate on what the bar for modesty and femininity should be set at. It usually comes down to “Each Christian family has their own standards.” While that is true there are some things in the Bible that are very clear. Some of these things are sex before marriage, homosexuality, woman’s place, magic/witchcraft, divorce, parent-schooling, backbitting, adultery, and many more including the 10 Commandments.
The next time you say “Each Christian family has their own standards” please make sure that God hasn’t already clearly set the standard. For every belief you should have a Scriptural basis for it. My Bible says to be prefect as the Lord is perfect (Matthew 5: 48) and in everything we should seek to please God. Let’s not set the standard as it fits our lives, but as our lives fits it.

I totally agree!

Very good. I do agree that we are to attempt to live as the Bible defines. To say one is ‘not perfect’ is not to be used as an excuse to remain in sin once the Holy Spirit has led us to the answer God has for us. Just as we would be sure our teaching lines up with scripture, our lives must also. I agree with you, if there is a verse to prove our decisions are Christ honoring, then we should be living in accordance with it.

I agree that each family needs to set their own standards WITHIN the boundaries already set in place by God. :-)

Total agreement. most of the devisions in Churches and between Christians come when one person tries to force their “beliefs” on another. we must always go back to the Bible and follow it only. Not a favorite preacher or good friend. If it contradicts the Bible then IT not the passage of the Bible is wrong. What a hard commandment to follow “be perfect…” ouch. I’m so glad that I’m covered by the blodd of Jesus! In Christ
