Re: Modesty and The Christian Woman.
Nothing unique here... I've heard this many times in UPC churches.
"I don't want to see your boobs.."
"I don't want to see your midriff..."
"I don't want to see your 'upper legs..."
Personally, this is the easy way of teaching against a problem that is more than "head and shoulders knees and toes."
A con will say: well, who gives her the right to say what we don't want to see? And if she has that right, then why not "draw that line" farther out? Then we get this tidy list of rules from the man of God: no skirts above the knee, sleeves to the top of the elbow, etc....
Think about the problem -- if indeed a young girl is promiscuously showing off her body, and then let the Spirit help give us a way to deal with the problem, and not just the symptoms.
