Modesty - It’s Not My Problem, He’s Just a Pervert

False, it is our problem, a he’s not a pervert, he’s simply a man and his brain is functioning the way God designed it to work. In my previous post we discussed much on impurity stemming from modesty. Modesty and impurity are two of the gravest sins one may commit. I say this one, because men commit impurity and think it’s perfectly okay. Women dress immodestly, and it’s the greatest sin they commit and think little of it. I say this 

two, because for men and women of God these two sins are their toughest battles.

Modesty is a woman’s daily battle. It is hard to dress modestly. It is hard to find clothes that are modest and fit proper. This task often requires longer shopping trips. It often requires spending more money. If you were to go through your wardrobe today, you may discover you need to throw out your entire closet minus a few select pieces. Therefore, make an effort to fight your battle. Save up money by not spending your money on music, ipods, movies, and other fun things in order to buy clothes so you can go out and know you are helping your brothers out by dressing modestly. Lastly, fight! Fight this battle for yourself and help your brothers fight their 

fight.

Matthew 5:27-28 “If you so much as look at a woman lustfully, you have already committed adultery in the heart.” Men of God, striving for holiness and purity, are the only people who really know how big of an issue this is. Priests, when asked, will tell you the most frequent sin brought to confession is impurity, coming from men who are struggling with all they have to remain pure. Women, it is our duty to step up to the plate and fight against our contemporary culture by dressing modestly. Therefore, love your neighbor as yourself by dressing modestly.
