Do You Display Godly Outward Appearance?
Many worldly people give importance for outward appearance but inward they are cunning filled with hypocrisy. Some people Dress properly but their heart is evil and sinful. God is not so interested in what a person looks like outside but he looks what is their inside our heart but that doesn't apply for justification of inappropriate clothes. Hos 4:6 says My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Many Such people who defends justification of inappropriate clothing obviously ignore some of the passages such as Matthew 5:16 where our Lord admonishes us, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Which is in Heaven."
Proverbs 7:10 shows us that there is such a thing as the "attire of an harlot."
I Timothy 2:9 the Apostle Paul admonishes Timothy to exhort women to wear "modest apparel.In like manner also, that woman adorns themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety: not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God."
We must not only profess our faith and love for Christ but also need to practice such faith and love in our daily lives.
Just Our immodest clothing reveals our immoral attitude, wicked and hypocritical heart (Proverbs 7:10), so our decent, pure, appropriate modest clothing reveals our heart lying in a gentle and quiet spirit for this is precious to the sight of God (1 Peter 3:3-4).God looks for a heart who seeks God, who fears God, who will obey and follow his commandments by respecting him with trustful and submissive heart who truly devotes and serves God with all our heart, soul and mind. Jesus Christ is our role model and we need to follow the simplicity of lifestyle of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ doesn't love outward glittering ornaments and expensive clothing with huge makeup's rather he loves to come before him with our decent soberly modest cloth, in purity, holiness, and in godly attire.

I would like to share Another contributor, Teila Tankersley, has sent me the following message on the Yahoo! Contributor Network:
Shaila, truly no one will take to heart what Susie said. Pray pray pray for our enemies. You and are have a sensitve heart but you can not let it bother you, Keep your mind busy on other things what she did was mean and cruel, don't keep thinking about it. Move forward. My brother is a pastor and he says that the times that hes been attacked the most has been right before a blessing. So don't rob yourself of a blessing by stricking back instead understand that God knows how this has hurt you his love is greater. You will win this over in years to come in the mean time do not worry if they try to attack your via internet, your best defense is to ignore the comments and it make it look like the coments are not true and that you are wise for not responding to them. Vent to me and to God not at them. I'm sorry this has happened to you but their comments will not discredit your writing career, In fact it might generate more readers :) Hang in there
OMG PLZ don't let negative ppl get to you!!!
Too bad. Some don't walk the walk. Just talk the talk Or should I say write the words. Good articles just not practiced!! Some people spend a lot of money to call overseas to torment their ailing mother /mother in law. So sad.
Great piece.
By this we know that our prayers are heard, if we keep his commandments. Living what we teach should be natural to a Christian. Thanks for the powerful words.
Great way to say practice what you preach or claim to believe in.
Thank you for this article! The Christian walk all boils down to the Fruits of the Holy Spirit! I am glad that expensive clothes don't matter to most Christian churches because I have been poor all my life anyway and for the most part I try to sew my own clothes!
Amen sister. We must not just talk the talk but walk the walk. If we are not bearing real fruit, then we are not in Christ. Great work as usual.
