Modesty Test  
   
Before you walk out the door in the morning, please assess your choice of clothing with the following test.  Are you wearing:
  • A shirt that is so low that the breasts can be seen?
  • A tight or form-fitting shirt or dress?
  • A tank top or shirt that reveals a bra, or the place a bra would normally be if you were wearing one?  (even the shoulder area)
  • A shirt that has writing or a logo across the chest and screams "look here!"?
  • Tight fitting pants that draw attention to your body?
  • Pants that are so low (or a shirt that is so high) that it shows your mid-drift or underwear?
  • Low-rise underwear so that your underwear aren't showing with your low-rise jeans? (don't get shorter underwear, get higher pants instead!)
  • A skirt that is high above the knees or reveals much of your legs?
  • A skirt or dress that has a large slit pointing like an arrow up the back or front, screaming "look up!"?
  • Pants or a skirt with a logo or writing across the buttocks?
  • Any other clothing item that particularly draws attention to your chest, buttocks or legs, or anything that draws attention to your body in any way?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, please choose something else to wear, for the sake of your Christian brothers, their wives, and their children.

Also, when you try on clothing, remember to sit and stand in different positions to test how modest the clothing really is, in all circumstances.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have not read this book yet, but it is on my list. Right after it was published, my husband and I got to go hear Brian McLaren speak at a church in Portland. We loved the stuff he was talking about--challenging!!  I recommend this book solely based on how impressed I was with his subject matter & his speaking.
