Sometimes I get so tired of the steady stream of stress and trials, I would even take something extra bad happening just to have a change from this uncertain period. Im just stuck and almost everything nice, comfortable, fun, or convenient is out of reach. I'm stuck placed right above the...

Feeling risky in saying this but yes, attention is a huge craving. We are supposed to get it from our parents. We're supposed to get it from the Lord in the secret place. We're supposed to get it from our friends and spouses. Dressing provocative is like the super shortcut. But sometimes I try...

Curvy women can have a tough time. Especially in the growing up years. The thing is, I don't think you could avoid attention even if you were flat chested. I don't agree with those who say modest women should never draw notice. A modest pretty woman and an immodest pretty woman will both draw...

Unfortunately, thats true. Girls are looking up to Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj, and Lizzo. How do you teach girls the value of discretion, modest behaviour, and dress in a world like that? I looked up to my Mom. I still do. She's a difficult act to follow. She has class and wisdom. I hope my...

Wish a lot of young women could hear what Godly men actually think of immodesty.

You didn't join a monastery. It's clearly a you problem. Not enough meditating in the empty hills.

I agree. There are so many things I thought men liked but did because other women promoted it. I was shocked at how many men hate makeup. The trends with fake hair, those pointy dagger nails, eyelashes that look like they can take flight...Im not sure that's entirely for the male gaze either...

Definitely plenty of ways to miss the mark. Not sure we need to look frumpy on purpose. But Id take that in a church setting over yoga pants or mini skirts. Not sure what men are supposed to do in situations like that. I don't envy the lack of immodest spaces today. The mall? The gym? Church...

Thanks Nancy! Love you, Sis!

When I was active on Facebook years ago, no posts got more likes and comments than selfies. Later, I looked at most of them and hated the look I saw in my eyes. They were hungry eyes. They demanded attention and admiration for the look. Although I had way less than a thousand, I couldn't help...

Am encouraged by many of the latest threads and posts. I see new members that are bringing great threads, questions and discussion. LPraying that God will get glory and His will out of this forum, despite it's flaws.

Praying now

A good example of this topic is how emotional worship songs have gotten. The Orthodox Christians, Catholics, and old Protestants had more Scripture in their worship than we do now. The the result is plenty of songs about God's love, comfort, and grace without any balance. God's severity and...

Posts like this restore my hope in this forum. Well said.

I see feminism's main sins as envy and selfish ambition. But one of the sad results of a movement that opposes God's design for women are the women who choose neither home dedication or traditionally male roles, but pure selfishness as a lifestyle. These women are hardly activists. They shop...

You can count on me to think jeans shouldn't be that pricey and to overthink pretty much evetything else! You're welcome! lol

I see your point but I think "feminized Christianity" refers to a modern contempt for masculinity in favor of femininity in churches today. Femininity is wonderful but so is masculinity.

Was aware of the Orthodox and Greek Othodox Church but not Eastern Orthodox. Some beautiful music from the churches, but I don't know much about the doctrine. Thank you for sharing. Some deconstructionists question the Bible. We believe the Bible is our objective standard as Christians but...
