else i go. yeah it does go to your own conviction, b/c i doen't even wear shorts under my skirts. the way i look at it is that we doen't know when GOD is coming back, so we need to dress the way we want to be presented in front of GOD at all times. i dress the way i dress for the glory of GOD. i just resently got a conviction on wearing skirts that are not long enough to touch my ankles, and wearing shirts that show my elbows. i believe that the only one who we reveal our bodys to is our husband. when people look at me i don't want to be known as the best dresser, but i want the glory of GOD to shine through me, and i want the attention to be on GOD not me. you see this is not about us, but it's about our LORD JESUS CHRIST. the guys too, the way you dress represents who you are. do you think god wants you to walk around with baggy jeans. i also don't wear sport jearseys because we need to wear cloths that glorify GOD...remember. guys should wear things that aren't going to bring attention to you, but any attention that should be brought to you is the glory of GOD. JESUS is wonderful and everything i do i want it to glorify the LORD because he is worthy of it all.

My husband and I were talking the other night about the subject of dress. He said (spirituallY) he really respects the fact that I have been making efforts to dress modestly. He likes my stand on it.

But later, he said that he had to draw the line at the headcovering and explained himself to me why he made such a decision a couple years ago. He said he was completely repulsed by it and found his eyes drifting away from me, rather than being drawn to me. He told me that was why he REALLY did not want me wearing a headcover (physically; tho spiritually I still do). If something I was doing was repulsing my hubby THAT bad, then I needed to obey and take the thing off.

My hubby is a Christian, but daily he struggles between flesh and spirit over the way I have to dress. Spiritually, he knows that, in order for me to keep other men from sinning, I need to dress modestly, and dress as a woman SHOULD dress. But his flesh struggles with that cause HE needs to see my skin, too!! He'd love to see me go around the house in short shorts (flesh), but knows that I can't (spirit), both for modesty's sake and as a role model for our daughters.

Basically, I am still trying to find my place in the realm of "dressing modestly" and not "dressing ultra-modest/repulsively". I am just glad that he confessed all of these things to me. And I am glad that I obeyed in taking my headcovering off, as much as it hurt, because that would have caused major problems. I don't want to be legalistic over a piece of cloth when the heart can do the same job. That's really all that matters.

Question on the head-covering issue. Do most of you AC women wear the head covering only at church or is this something you wear all the time? I once attended an Independent Baptist church where about half the women wore a hat or head covering of some time during the worship service only but didn't wear them otherwise. Just asking.

I attend an Interdenominational church and there we can wear pants if we choose. There are a lot of young college students that attend our church and we know that many of them do not have the money to buy suits for Sundays. One thing we don't want to do is condemn those females who wear tight pants because we know that college life breaks you and you have to work with what you got. I can say this one thing, the more you grow in Christ, the better you try to look dignified in church and especially if you are on camera. First of all it's not what you wear that determines if you are a child of God but what's in your heart. You can wear a long skirt, with no jewelry or make-up and can still go to hell. If your heart is not right and you don't have a relationship with God and you're going to church just because it's tradition, you need to rethink your strategy. Yes, when you grow in God and you have a high calling you can't wear everything that you used to. Paul said that now that he is a man he has to think like a man. To conclude, let the Holy Spirit guide you on what and what not to wear and how to look presentable in front of church.

Matthew 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.


repulsed by a headcovering? that sounds pretty bad.. Ephesians 5:25 "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it"
im sure Jesus was repulsed by our sins and deeds but He loved us unconditionally, if your husband loves you unconditionally this would not be an issue. As kyle stated their concern i am too as your heart was saddened by your submission. u chose man over God.

leslie you want to set an example for your daughters, but that was not the example to set. think if one day ur daughter is yoked with an unbeliever and the husband discourages her from church, in her heart shes hurt as you, but sees you did it in submission and think its ok.

Jesus comes back tomorrow asks you "the bible stated that a woman ought wear a covering, why did you not do so?"
Is it not better to be safe then sorry? Y is it such a trouble to wear something on your head for a brief moment of prayer? if not for ur husband, for God?

back to topic, before i was married i wore pants when i felt, my husband however felt he preferred me in a skirt as other could not look at my form. but skirts can show a womans form as much as pants. i believe there is no real problem with pants as long as they are modest.
