Christian Women DON'T Do These Things! 😧 

It is the hardest to tame the tongue-- and our vocabulary can be so difficult. BIG hugs, one day at a time. XO

Me too 🙌🙏❤️

Ah I concur! I’m quite a Zealot so I find most of my foul language comes in when my LORD is blasphemed openly by others. Then my tongue becomes sharp as a double edged sword. I ask the Holy Spirit to immediately convict me-as sometimes my speech is so quick, I say it before the thought has even fully formed in my mind. We are not alone sisters, let the LORD bind our tongues for his GLORY! Amen and Shalom to all! 🙏✝️❤️

Same here. You're not alone.

FEEDING on the Word is transformative. Psalm 18.30 As for God, his way is perfect: The LORD’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. Also, focussing on his names in scripture. Proverbs 18.10 The name of the LORD is a strong tower. The righteous runs into it and is safe. (Margin note = "set on high") (NASB: Lockman)

I have never felt compelled to purchase a book, a video, a tee shirt at a women’s conference . Some women enjoy those things, I don’t. I’m fine with speakers selling their books . Why should they not? Billy Graham sold his, Charles Stanley sold his.

@@sharondoan1447please research Billy Graham and other major Christian authors. Billy Graham did not write most of his books, but had a ghost writer. One of which was a closet homosexual Mel White. So promoting a book as your own, while deceiving the public is wrong.

@@sharondoan1447 it wasn’t the books etc that I felt uncomfortable with but rather the feeling I got that “I needed to be in the sisterhood or I might miss out on something”. I appreciated and enjoyed the messages to be honest and did buy the book of one of the speakers. I never did go again and the mega church that ran the conferences has been involved in very publicised scandals so the conferences don’t run anymore. Perhaps that speaks for itself and I don’t rejoice in that but feel deeply saddened as it turns people away from God, for whom the whole message is supposed to be about.

@@exodusmass4575 And you can prove your claim? I have no reason to credit you claim as truth. Do you have similar claims to make about other Christian authors or is Billy Graham the only target ?

I totalmente agree with you

Or wear long shirts or sweaters that go long enough to cover and go to mid thigh

It's important to note that it's not the yoga pants that are the problem, it's what the yoga pants reveal. I've seen women look incredibly modest in yoga pants when they have a 3/4 length cardigan overtop. I've ALSO seen women in maxi dresses that were SO immodest. In one case, the dress was not tight or see-through, but, she had an ample "caboose", so as she moved, I could see everything jiggle. This was in church. I might be quite conservative in this, but I think we need to go back to cotton slips under our summer dresses.

Agree… I do not need to see your upper thighs and the Hoo-ha

I also had this conviction a few months back.. I decided if o was going to wear them(I like them because I find them more comfortable then jeans any day) I must only were them with a long loose fitting shirt so that my butt is covered and my shape isn’t complete standing out. Or I’ll use a loose t or something that might not be super long but I’ll wear a cardigan to cover more.

I wear them in fun runs. I have no issues wearing them outside.

Yup! We are ultimately accountable to God as individuals and we're responsible for our own walk with Jesus.

It's true because we shouldn't be blaming other people of how they perceive US based on how we dress. If you're dressing half naked for the world to see and God forbid even the kids then it's just basically saying that we don't have any self-respect, and that they need constant validation even if it's the wrong type to feel good. I mean I don't want to be dressed up like the 1800s but at least cover up and not wearing something that is way too form-fitting.

These poor women are just trying to look beautiful and dressing the way they know how to. They are innocent angels

I totally get that. I think she's not talking about leggings worn in a modest way. I wore leggings a LOT during pregnancy during every day life. I was a bit uncomfortable with it at times because of it being immodest, but most of them were cheap/free and comfortable. Next pregnancy (God-willing) I might invest in some good pregnancy pants.

Same

I never left the house in yoga pants (unless actually going to workout or to yoga) prior to pregnancy. But unfortunately I've gotten into a rut. Running out of the house, leggings, extra long tee/sweatshirt/ sweater and out the door.

@@mindyd1985 I totally understand. Please don't feel like you're morally wrong. But if you're more in a "rut" because you don't like wearing yoga pants, or feel like you have nothing nice or that you like to wear, then I get that too. I feel like SO many women are in "clothing ruts" after having babies. Doing a capsule wardrobe intentionally was so helpful for me. I could pick out a "uniform" to wear to work or things for home, and in general not worry about my wardrobe for the next few months. Last year I talked with a friend about it when she told me she felt like she only had 2-3 pairs of pants she wore. You aren't alone

Yeah I totally think it has everything to do with how they’re being worn.

You are not crazy and you are not alone!! I feel the same way sometimes. Actually, many times. I have a burden to live my life in the world, not of the world. "Would I do/say/watch/listen to/etc. this if Jesus was sitting here with me?" He is my standard.

@@weezy516 Thanks for the support. I really appreciate that feedback. Also, great question .. what would I do if Jesus were sitting here with me? That's great. Thank you. I'm with you girl!!

It's interesting that most women find about modesty - or Christianity in general - when they come to a certain age, when the beauty fade away

Big hugs! Xo

Amen! 🙏🏼📖

You are so welcome! ALL glory to God! Xo

God bless you with grace and peace. God grant you freedom from a spirit of condemnation and remind you of your freedom in Christ Jesus. Amen

​@@trishbowring726so you can wearing revealing clothes?

Amen. I also am finding it hard to find other believers willing to talk and pray about these things. I am praying for Holy Spirit to lead me Gods Kingdom kinship.

Same! Especially tan ones. I swear for a moment I thought a young lady the other day was naked from the waist down because of the color and contour of those horrible things.

Alleluia 😂

You are so welcome, I thank the Lord often for His conviction! 🙏🏼💕 Even when it hurts! 🙈 Xo

Would love to see where it says that Biblically! Please share!

From God directly: ”I gave you lovely jewelry, bracelets, beautiful necklaces, a ring for your nose, earrings for your ears, and a lovely crown for your head. And so you were adorned with gold and silver. Your clothes were made of fine linen and costly fabric and were beautifully embroidered. You ate the finest foods-choice flour, honey, and olive oil-and became more beautiful than ever. You looked like a queen, and so you were!“ ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬-‭13‬

​@@HeavenlyMindedHomewhich translation is yours from? Mine says similar but not the same as yours.

​@@HeavenlyMindedHomeOld Testament when it's convenient

I totally agree. I felt like the nose piercing was a slap in the face and hypocritical. She gives one scripture below which would seem to justify her wearing a nose piercing, but there are plenty more that do not. Exodus 21:6 then his master must take him before the judges. He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life. It should be noted that context is important. What does a nose piercing symbolize today? Certainly not what was indicated in Ezekiel 11-16. A nose piercing in our culture, represents rebelliousness and non-conformity. And this is how she portrays herself in general in seeking to correct others, but not following that rule herself. Pretty narcissistic in my opinion. We are told to avoid even the APPEARANCE of EVIL by our actions, that it could be misinterpreted by others. 1 Thess 5:22 “Abstain from all appearance of evil.” She failed the test on this one. And walking around in slovenly t-shirt and sweater? Where's the dress? We are not to dress like men.

All glory to God! 🙏🏼💕📖

Egg salad sandwiches, fruit and veggies sounds divine to me! God bless you

@@kimkelly9046 thank you and God bless you and your loved ones as well

​@@kimkelly9046 YES!

Sounds like legalism. So sorry I imagine you do miss the person she used to be.😢

Yeah sounds like she does a lot of judging too. (That’s a sin😂)

Mum explained to her that I was hurt, and at first she defended her behaviour, but when she couldn't say what sin I'd committed, she realised it was just something she doesn't like, so she came to me and apologised, which was so nice. She's trying so hard to be gracious that she can seem fake-nice a lot of the time, but at least she's trying. She went to our church's Bible study this week and just told me today how she asked what everyone is reading. Not one of them is reading a Christian book, which she was not gracious about. I think when we're new and learning, we're so eager for others to share our zeal. The disappointment of them not being as zealous must come off as being judgemental. I'm trying really hard to be gracious, as there was a time she was very anti-Christian, mocking us, so I'm very thankful she's saved.

​@@kathy2940is rebuking thong-bikini wearers legalism also? And, I don't know, going to strip clubs?

I go to the gym a lot so yes I do run around in them a lot and I have wore them in church to pick my kids up from choir practice, BUT I COVER MY BUTT UP WITH LONG SHIRTS AND JACKETS. I never go out with my butt hanging out, nor do I wear them thinking oh people will look at my butt in these, because you can’t see my butt. So definitely wearing them for function not just to show my butt off. I think you need to be modest when wearing them and think about your intent.

Amen! I completely agree- thankful for one another! Xo

Thanks for watching! Xoxo

All glory to God- it can be so hard, but is so important! 🥰🙏🏼

Big hugs!!!!🤗 Praying for your recovery, too! 🙏🏼💕

Sure- trying to understand, What’s wrong with a nose piercing?

There’s several reasons, but simplest, does it glorify God , or worn to magnify you? Just as was mentioned about the yoga pants and tight jeans worn “because you like how your behind looks in them, “ etc.. it’s just something to consider… why? And does this glorify my Lord? It’s adornment to be seen of man.. and accepted of man .. as cool and hip…

God himself said: ”I gave you lovely jewelry, bracelets, beautiful necklaces, a ring for your nose, earrings for your ears, and a lovely crown for your head. And so you were adorned with gold and silver. Your clothes were made of fine linen and costly fabric and were beautifully embroidered. You ate the finest foods-choice flour, honey, and olive oil-and became more beautiful than ever. You looked like a queen, and so you were!“ ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭16‬:‭11‬-‭13‬

Hope this can help those discern through snap judgements such as this- What Is Worldly? Nose Piercings? Dyed Hair? Makeup? ☕️ Chatty Coffee Date ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gwExzABuWPc.html

You are so welcome! 🤗 All glory to God!

ALL glory to God! 🙌🏼

Right?! 🫣🥴

I have no idea what this means, but I’m a boomer

😂😂😂 Big hugs, always thankful when the Lord brings out conviction and gets my attention! 😘🥰

Oh hon- that's too kind! ALL glory to God- may he be seen through me- a broken, wretched vessel. 🥰 Every day we can grow one day stronger in our walk. XOXO

No legalism- just common sense in walking these things out. 🙏🏼📖

@@HeavenlyMindedHome Yeah, and common sense is important. But its so easy for us to start saying "you know that the Holy Spirut says you cant wear pants", or "you know thst the Holy Spirit says no piercings, therefore no earrings", and so on. Once that gets started, nobody's saying "you know, the Holy Spirit isn't teaching legalism", and it is really discouraging and heartbreaking, really. Legalists routinely damn non-legalists, which should never be, from people, born again by the grace of God, through faith in Jesus. So its really hard to say anythin, yet not saying anything is so troubling. There are so many ugly pictures from the past, when the haightiest biggest accusers won the day, but, of course, lost the war. There has git to be a time that we are cobtent that Jesus woll win His war, and let all the rest be imperfect until we see Him. Because it will be. That doesn't mean no admonitions about clothing, etc, but lets at least realize that we look at what we see through biases that are not the conviction of the Holy Spirit. Clarifying the two is really important.

I’ve certainly never said or implied that the Holy Spirit says no pants or piercings… really not sure how this connects. So sorry for any misunderstanding. 🙏🏼📖

@@HeavenlyMindedHome In the comments, some have said those things. I had better just stay away, because legalism seriously messes with my mind. And I only got the notice in my feed because I have seen other videos of yours that I thought were very helpful, so I'm not trying to condemn you, or say that you are a strict legalist. Still, legalism creeps in, and I have probably more trouble with it than a lot of people. At this very momebt, Im trying to decide whether to answrr a comlnnent on as nother video in ehich the man says thst if anyone has trouble with porn, he doubts that they could be saved, because a Christian would have nothing to do with it. And he asserted that the one lost sheep was not saved until Jesus found him, but that's not what the Bible said: a man owned 100 sheep and one was lost, and he left the 99 to go and find the one that was lost. No one should have a problem with porn, but he has a hardh, loveless attitude, and one could conclude that anyone who allows himself to become like that must have never been saved. I dont know if he's saved or not. I probably ought to leave his attitude alone, though. Another young woman's page had a following of women of her generation. I went there because of another issue she had spoken on. With these women, it was all about the headwrap. There was absolutely no excuse for not covering our heads with a scarf. On a day requiring a different look, those scarves can be converted into African style headwraps and turbans, snd they were talking about how attractively they rocked those headwraps. One stood up (vetbally), and declsred that many women have no excuse for not being more attractive for men, and that some women were just lazy or they could do much better than they do. These women were full of pride about their spiritual headwraps and superior looks., which they even called "modesty", but there wasn't anything particularly modest about saying 'shame on you ugly women; you ought to work harder to look like us!' Yet they were condemning any woman who didn't wear some headwrap, and they had it all boiled down into legalistic necessity, including the uphill battle of the ugly woman to look better (like they did!). I remember talking to a young woman in "Christ Is the Answer", in about 1972 or 1973. She insisted that, if I was restored in faith, I needed to now convert all my jeans to nifty long jeans skirts, like she had, along with a calico blouse and scarf headwrap. I think I had two pairs of pants, one a half-decent pair of cheap jeans. And I was not about to knuckle under to her legalism to copy her, when I didnt have this conviction of God, myself. I had enough sad experience with the harm of Church of Christ legalism, (my grandparents' church, a cult in the eyes of many), and faced a few years of charismatic and pentecostal legalism, juxtaposed against thr thibgs that are really wrong thrre, ehich they pay no sttention to. With all this error, it is hard to see that there is anything but error, althoughwe know thats not true. But very few Christians take it seriously as a problem. They tend to accuse the one troubled by it of trying to get by with sin, while there are others who insist that any legalism at all means that they are relying on a false gospel. When it all threatens to cave in on you, it helps to remember that Jesus's burden is light, unlike these burdens out of religion. But you can see that I'm best off away from legalism. It bothers me deeply.

Where does scripture say that freedom in Christ is freedom to be a stumbling block to your brothers in Christ? You are to encourage your brothers, we all are. Dangling sin in front of believers, any sin, is not helpful. Time to think of others, not just you.

Praying for you Sandy. They are as bad as smoking. They are evil and God wants you free. May I suggest you memorise 2 Corinthians 10:4,5 - ... to bring every thought captive... God bless

I do the same! Completely modest to wear something long over leggings, yoga pants…..

Same!!

Come join us- we did a whole series really digging into this and why it's so important for us as Christians. Watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WzR5xmLUVFk.html Here's the details: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g7zHrknPeNg.html XOXO

Nothing wrong with yoga pants under a dress- I have a pair of fleece lined ones under my skirt today! 😁 Big difference between that and walking around with them as your main pants/nothing covering. 😘💕

Wide leg jeans. They are comfortable and modest. My fave jeans now, they are flattering, not loose like men's pants, but not immodest (I mean, depending on the pair, I'm sure).

I wear leggings, wool socks and boots with my winter dresses. My boots come up to my knees and my dresses are a couple inches below my knees. I wear winter hose or leggings under the dress. Pray about it, sister. The LORD will help you. 😘

I’m very tall, so I’ve never worn leggings without wearing something long over them… a long top or a dress, jumper or skirt. In the winter I wear black knee boots over my black leggings, and it looks very cute with an above knee skirt or dress. Also, sometimes a long sweater is nice as well. Hope this helps!

God bless you

@@kimkelly9046 Thank you and God bless you 💕

Thank you!! All glory to God! 🙌🏼💕

The clothing you buy at a thrift store or wherever you buy the second hand clothing, is NEW clothing. It's NEW to you😊. Just saying.
