Dress 2 Profess

How a person is viewed could be determined by the way they dress.
As a christian your attire is very important in professing your level of Holiness.The way you dress is apart of your conduct and spirituality.
The scripture says:
"I will that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands without wrath and doubting. In like manner
also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not
with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; but (which becometh women professing
godliness) with good works" (1 Timothy 2:9,10).

PRAYING IS OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE!

Good works are the best ornaments 2 wear.Acting as becomes Holy.Learn Christ,Learn the Scriptures.

Women ought to dress according to certain standards  listed in this order:
MODESTY, INEXPENSIVE and NONORNAMENTAL, and clothing that becomes godliness. To be
modest means to be decent and respectful. U must carefully and prayerfully select your attire in order
not to unduly expose your body to the stares of the public. Not 2 B so old-fashioned as to look
tacky, but deliberately choosing clothing that will dignify you  without provoking the stares of the opposite sex.
Christian ladies are not to imitate those of the world in their careful attention to the ornaments of the head. The mere braiding of the hair is not forbidden, but only that careful attention to the manner of doing it, and to the ornaments (weave)usually worn in it, which characterized worldly women.Costly array - Expensive dress. It is foolish, and the money could be used to help sum1 in need.
 
You are to dedicate yourselves to the cause of Servin God.This manner of dedication avoids
expensive, extravagant clothing and superfluous, ornamental jewelry.The worldly woman makes a hobby of fashion crazes and style shows. Christians are called upon to help this world filled with desperate souls,that should be your main focus.

The truth is, that your attention to your appearance should be such that you will not B offensive to any1 ,such as to show that your mind is supremely fixed on higher and more important things, and such as to interfere with no duty which you owe, and no good which you can do, either by spending your time needlessly in personal adorning, or by lavishing that money for a dress which might do good to others, or by neglecting the duties by which you are called to do.

In closing; When I go to church I dont want 2 B met with your tight pants,on the praise team,or ushering or whateva position you hold in the church.Evangelising with tight pants on having to stoop and bend and all that if sum1 your prayn for hapens to fall down.
I dont want my husband to B met with your tight pants or shorts dresses and skirts,thighs all out.NO THANK YOU!
When men go 2 church we hope that they are goin to enhance their spiritual walk with the Lord,They have 2 B considered when U begin to dress for service.They have natural instincts that kick in automatically and we as women of God dont want to aide in that aspect.  
The Church IS GOD'S HOLY SANCTUARY,ITS MY HOLY SANCTUARY,WHEN I GO THERE I DONT WANT TO BE MET WITH WORLDLY THNGS,THAT IS THE 1 PLACE I CAN GO 2 AND ESCAPE THE THINGS AND WAYS OF THIS WORLD.
So whether it b sunday morning service,prayer meeting,choir practice,bible study,whatvea reason you are goin to the church house plz plz CONSIDER YOUR DRESS(maybe slip a nice decent skirt on).(Get the Holy Spirit and this wont even B an issue 4 ya.)
