Dress Code

By Shirley Holmes Sulton

I pray that, writing this book will inspire Believers, as well as none Believers, to really study their Bibles more, searching the scriptures, and coming to a realization that the Words in it, are the Words of our Creator, God, instead of believing the myths we see in the movies, of how men dressed during the Bible days, wearing kilts’/skirts. Well, even if they did, the women yet wore dresses dragging the ground, then. However, we see from our studies that men wore breeches.

Know that our clothes, dictates who we are, and how we are viewed by others. Think, when you see a police officer, you don’t have to wonder if he or she is an officer. Moreover, if you see a Nun, you recognize them by their dress code as well. So if you dress exposing yourself, it dictates what you are representing, whether it is a pimp, lady of the evening, or child of the King. etc.. When dressed inappropriately, it could be a stumbling block for others as well. So remember, what we wear, we are making a statement without words, by the way we dress. Let that statement say, that we are dressed appropriately, both men and women, pleasing to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

My Bible said it, I believe it, and that settles it, “Deuteronomy 22:5. A woman shall not wear that which pertains unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so, are an abomination unto the Lord thy God. I Timothy 2:9-10. Women should adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness, and sobriety: not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array, But with becometh women professing godliness with good works.”

Preface

This book is written under the leading of the Holy Spirit of God, especially for His people, Christ’s believers, followers, and for those that desire to know why they must be different from the world in every way, form, and fashion, once we decide to be His disciples. He said be ye separated from the world. Therefore, we need to be recognized as dear children of God and not children of the secular world. II Corinthian 6:17.

I often hear people say that God is only interested in our hearts, wrong. My Bible tells me that God is interested in every aspect of our being. I will do my best and share with you what God has revealed to me through His Holy Word, the Bible.

Studying the Word of God gives one such an insight of it
