Cry of the World:Fashions

In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel,
with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair,
or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
1 Timothy 2:9
 
"As the world intensifies its headlong rush to perdition,
it calls Laodicea to follow.
The pull of the world is strong,
and its voice can be deafening,
except for the grace of God.

The world cries,
Fashion is beautiful,
fashion is sexy,
you are out of touch if you don't follow the fashions.
But the still small voice of the Lord calls to us, saying,
Modesty is beautiful,
purity and holiness are beautiful.
It is only by the divine anointing that we desire the beauty of simplicity and choose God's way. It is through the gold of faith and love, gained through the purifying fire of self-denial that we will choose the voice of God over the voice of the world." Remnant Raiment
(Don't know who exactly wrote that over at Remnant Raiment but I thought it was beautifully written)
