This is an article I read tonight…It challenged me. Here were my immediate thoughts:
I don’t completely agree with all that was written, but she brings up so many good points in this post. These lines challenged me:
“Dear men: If you believe my neckline is causing to stumble, you have bought into the lie that women are the problem, NOT YOUR LUST.
Dear women: If you believe you are responsible for your fellow man’s sins, you have bought into the lie that YOU are the problem, NOT SIN.“
Though, I believe that it is responsible of women to guard your bodies because they are precious, it is a good point that we need to address. Is the idea of modesty for men, women, or God? Are we deciding to protect our bodies because we desire to honor Christ with them, or are we solely covering our bodies because we don’t want to cause our brother to stumble because he is lazy and isn’t taking the necessary steps toward purity? These are my thoughts and questions, not my beliefs, just to clarify. I am still processing.
