But I definitely think that before approaching this issue we should check our motives. Are we loving the person? do we lead by example? what is it that bothers us? why does it bother us? I am Colombian and I moved to the States a few years back to become an intern at a great church in Las Vegas, NV. First let me explain; Bogota, Colombia is around 55 all year long. Vegas, NV goes all the way up to 120, I had never had to live in a place so hot. When I first got there I got quite the interesting looks, a lot of judgement and I felt like I was doing something wrong all the time because my shorts were over 3 inches above the knee and I wore spaghetti strap shirts. I never felt convicted about my clothes, I never thought they were indecent, I never saw men looking at me inappropriately, but I did feel judged by people in the church. If it wasn't for the great pastors I was under and the amazing mentor God brought to me I would have left thinking christians in America are rude, judgemental and not very loving. I started wearing jeans and t-shirts and after sweating my way through summer and working with youth and young adults I realized the best way to approach this is by living by example and letting the Holy Spirit convict and transform people. I can't imagine how a young unsaved girl would feel if she walks into a place and sees people judging her, it would be hard to preach love to her if we are more interested in the leght of her skirt that her relationship with Christ. I strongly believe that in due time and as we love her unconditionally she will start changing her wardrobe as the Holy Spirit convicts her of it. .-= Jo´s last blog ..<a href="http://joannavarela.blogspot.com/2009/10/start-grabbing-its-butt.html" rel="nofollow">Start grabbing its butt</a> =-.

I never felt convicted about my clothes, I never thought they were indecent, I never saw men looking at me inappropriately, but I did feel judged by people in the church. If it wasn’t for the great pastors I was under and the amazing mentor God brought to me I would have left thinking christians in America are rude, judgemental and not very loving.

I have a large collection of vests to wear under tops now!

Women come up for prayer with so much cleavage showing and the pastors kneel down to pray with them- and that's all they see- it MUST be a struggle. Be in the world not of it ~ we are daughters of the KING- let's carry ourselves like princesses! so I am not the crazy one?? so good to know- this topic concerning women is what I have been thinking about.
