Why I am Modest

   For all those who don't know, I'm Apostolic Pentecostal. You may also be wondering what Apostolic Pentecostal is. I'm Apostolic because I believe in the apostles' doctrine set forth by Jesus' apostles who walked with him and carried his gospel. I'm Pentecostal by experience; I'm referring to the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2. Peter preached to the people gathered there and told them to "repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the REMISSION of sins and ye SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF the HOLy GHOST." (See Acts 2:38). They were all in the upper room when a sound like rushing wind filled the house, and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and spoke with tongues (heavenly language that only God can understand) as the spirit of God gave the utterance.
   I don't cut my hair. I don't trim my hair. I believe according to 1 Corinthians  that a women's hair is a sacred covenant between her and God and that her "glory" should never be cut. The hair is a sign of submission to God and to her husband (if she is married). Not only that, but it is HER glory, not something to boast about, but something that sets her apart. There is nothing lovelier than a sweet modest dressed lady with long flowing hair, and a meek, quit spirit.
   I believe that as a woman, we should dress like one. Modesty is not old-fashioned. A lady can still be fashionable, classy, and beautiful in today's clothing and still be modest. A woman's clothes say a lot for her. A woman that dresses immodestly is desiring to draw attention to herself. Its normal human nature. But a godly lady will draw attention, not because she is trying to, but because she radiates godliness and purity. A lovely spirit paired with a modestly clothed body shows that a woman has self control, respect for herself, respect for God, and a desire to be a light to a dark perverse world.
   That's why I dress modest and live the way I do. Its a privilege to live for God. I owe my being to him, so it's the least I can do as a Christian to dress in a way that would glorify him, and not glorify myself!

Acts 2:38, Obey it!
