Modesty

Notes from CJ Mahaney 

1 Timothy 2:9-10
In like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

• Respectable apparel is the Fruit of a Godly heart.
• Avoidance of Clothing that is extravagant showy revealing or sexually enticing
• Immodesty reveals the absence of humility
• Immodesty is the act of drawing undue attention to self
• A modest heart always precedes modest dress
• Modesty is humility expressed in dress
• A desire to serve others (men) and not promote or provoke sensuality or lust
• Modesty and Self Control are present in the Godly woman
• A woman should examine her motives and goals for the way she dresses. Is it to flaunt her beauty, lure men sexually?
• What statement do your clothes make about your heart?
