God doesn't do it....God doesn't need to. God looks in the heart and he is able to. We look on the outward because that is all we can see.
That is why John told them to bring forth fruit meet for repentance...something we could see. Something that was evidence of a true change in heart

When I throw on my shorts to step outside, there is nothing I am desiring from it.

that's right.
A person dress immodest because she has an immodest heart. Just any other immoral character.

Well immodest means: offending against sexual mores in conduct or appearance
So, by definition, I was not offended.

Gaddy also had to be thinking legacy, setting precedent and direction of policy making in organizing this entire event in the way he did.

But the question isn't whether or not a quality "show" should be put on that impacts the lives of young people. The question is really HOW are they impacted? I'd hate to think every girl there will be impacted to dress that way and think it's ok because God only looks at the heart and after all "she dresses that way and they had her on"

You made a choice. Choices are a function of will.

WRONG....we are to judge a tree by its fruit which to determine whether the behavior and attitude demonstrates Christ....there are many criminal CEOs that dress the par and look like UPC ministers in dress appearance....oy vey.
