Modesty Resources

Below, I've included some excellent resources. Take some time to either listen or read through them. They are all very helpful!

-“The Look: Does God Really Care What I Wear?” By Nancy Leigh
-“The Soul of Modesty” Mp3 Download by C.J. Mahaney
-“Modesty Checklist” This checklist was created by Carolyn Mahaney and her daughters. It is outstanding! Please take some time to go over it with your mom. Maybe it’s time to replace a few items in your closet? Be sure to listen to the advice your mom gives! Be humble! She’s trying to help you! Hang one up in your room (or two if needed.) Prime spots would be: by your bedroom or closet door and on the mirror in your bathroom. You could even post on your wall something as simple as an “Am I dressed modest?” sign. Be sure to go over the modesty checklist every time you step foot outside of your bedroom.

Girls, if you desire to glorify God and protect the eyes of your brothers in Christ, than you should desire to have a modest heart. If dressing immodestly has been a struggle for you, invite people in your life to help you (Mom, dad, sister, brother, or a close friend). God is the first person you should go to! Simply ask Him to help you flee worldly passions and fight to do what is right.

Maybe you still don’t understand the importance of dressing modestly? Well, why don’t you take some time and go over the past five posts again. God is ready and willing to help you!

1. Adorned in Modesty
2. A Humble-Modest Heart
3. Shopping Trips and My Heart
4. Modesty and Self-Control
5. Serving with Willing Hands

Tomorrow we'll begin talking about cultivating a heart that's obedient and submissive.
