While we’re on the subject…
RuthKathleen posted a very interesting piece from a Christian young man discussing women and bikinis. Want to know what the other side thinks?
The First, Official (Mini) Meet-up
In the coming days, Jolene will be visiting me (Liz) for the first time! Please pray for us that we’d be able to use the time in the best way possible and have a great time of fellowship. We’re going to be discussing BIG things coming up in the ministry, things we hope to announce soon. This is going to be a great time of planning and fun! And we even get to meet another member of the boards (anna_banana)!
Be watching the boards for an announcement on some podcasts happening this weekend.
P.S.; Thank you all for participating in the first organized chat in our chatroom! Everyone who was there seemed to have a great time getting to know one another. We’ll post an announcement whenever another comes up.
The Battle Against Lust
Great post on Boundless about modesty, appropriate dress, and responsibility.
Then, it’s all too easy to fall into mild contempt. Why in the world, a woman may ask, should I have to guard how I dress just because some man can’t keep his mind out of the gutter?
To be sure, it’s a Christian man’s responsibility to fight lust and “keep his mind out of the gutter.” But I wonder if that question isn’t the mirror logic of a man who would ask: Why do I need to guard what I say simply because she reads more commitment into my words than I mean?
For more discussion on the topic, check out Dressing Modestly on the GodlyGals Forums.
GodlyGals Podcast, Episode 7
We chat about what’s been going on around the boards, in our lives, a very special ANNOUNCEMENT (cue wedding bells) at the end, and discuss issues with looking down on others.
