I read this article and had a thought come to mind. One area I see this immodesty growing is in the home and church where we see a "come as you are" attitude. At a recent Christian homeschool graduation some of the fathers of the graduates were wearing shorts. Likewise I see men and women coming into church in shorts,t-shirts,and sandles/flip-flops. These are not guests but regulars / leaders. The way the people are dressed are a reflection of their attitudes. So what type of attitude are these leaders showing the young people and other new Christians? I know there are those who would say I am being legalistic and being to uptight and not allowing the freedom that God has given us. So what,we as Christians are to be examples to the world and are to set the standards of morality and of decency in the world around us. I see when we go out as a family (and individually) and we are dressed not as slobs but in modest clean clothes (even though it may be jeans and a t-shirt - no vulgar printing or bad picture) we are treated better and with civility by others. This is in joint harmony with our attitude of serving others,being kind to others,and putting others ahead. Our attitude is reflected in our dress.
