It’s appalling to me how immodest our culture has become. Less and less of the human body is “private”; more and more of it “public”. I’m not advocating a new fashion trend of burlap sacks, but what if an entire generation decided to dress themselves with an eye to their (future) spouse? “This much of my body I reserve and protect for my husband (or wife), and this much I offer for public consumption.” In marriage, our bodies are no longer our own – how about the idea that our bodies belong to that spouse even before we’ve met them?
Better yet…that it belongs to Christ?
Well…it seems that it’s happening at least on one level: in searching for an image for this post that communicated ‘modesty’ I came across the one above. As it turns out, the one above is from the Harris brothers’ website, TheRebelution (read: ‘rebel’ against ungodliness) and, much to my encouragement, the image heads a survey they conducted a few years ago on modesty. (How serendipitous!) I took a look through some of the results and was quite pleased to see what respondents answered, and to see how many people have signed the ‘petition’. Do check it out – and pass it on.
“…and on this rock I will build my church.” Matthew 16:18, ESV [show] [18]And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (ESV)![]()
