    Dating/marrying someone who wants to go overseas for missions

    Thank you for all the replies! I really appreciate all the responses. He wants to go to France, possibly through YWAM and eventually set up a new base there. I am hoping to do a DTS through YWAM in France soon to get a feel for what that would be like. Thank you for the encouragement! We...

    Dating/marrying someone who wants to go overseas for missions

    I'm not a spouse of a missionary but would like to hear from those that are. I'm currently dating a guy who is being called overseas to missions. He has had this strong calling his whole life and is very eager to go as soon as he is able, although it will be a few years yet. I haven't felt a...

    Why are all bikinis often considered immodest by Christians?

    Wow, what good thing to keep in mind... Respecting what everyone else chooses to do since it isn't black and white. Thanks so much for sharing this :) (And for some reason it didn't include your verses here, so I suppose the quote looks a little goofy)

    Why are all bikinis often considered immodest by Christians?

    Yes, it is true, I have a friend who is very attractive, but always dresses very modestly, yet she is contently having guys hit on her, and lust after her I'm sure. She absolutely hates it, so she does as much as she can to make sure she is modestly dressed, but she can't stop it, because it...

    Why are all bikinis often considered immodest by Christians?

    Okay, well maybe the definition says it doesn't cover the bust area, but there are still yet bikinis that do. And the upper leg... Well most Christians don't have a problem with that. And I read the verse, but not the whole article, but we do need to remember that cultures change and are...

    Why are all bikinis often considered immodest by Christians?

    I get your point, but where is the line drawn? When a women smiles and just looks darn attractive, is that a sin, because since she is so beautiful she led him to lust? And by wearing a bikini that covers the top fully and the bottom, *is* that a big temptation? Kinda my main question :/...

    Why are all bikinis often considered immodest by Christians?

    Wow, really? That's really interesting. Usually people are very modest because of the culture of their religion. I suppose this is just because of the culture. Just like how some cultures (someone I know visited one) where women just don't wear shirts. It's not immodest at all, just women...

    Why are all bikinis often considered immodest by Christians?

    I do agree with what some of you have said, that it is the guys fault when he lusts. Guys can lust after a girl even if she is very modestly dressed. A guy can lust because of a smile. However, the bible does say to love our neighbor and also to try to keep our brothers from stumbling, so if a...

    Why are all bikinis often considered immodest by Christians?

    Okay, I'm glad I wasn't pointlessly explaining something, that's always awkward. It took me a bit to figure out what he meant too : P Yeppp, tho it seems like most females shave or trim down there. Well not most, but most bikini clad females :)

    Why are all bikinis often considered immodest by Christians?

    I'm not sure if you are just confused or wondering why someone would be so blunt, but just in case you are confused I guess he was saying if the girl wearing the swimsuit didn't shave her pubic area the hairs would show through, which is more or less true, making it appear as if the skeleton on...

    Why are all bikinis often considered immodest by Christians?

    First off, I really hope this is the right place, but if not, please direct me to where this oughta be! :) And secondly, I'm sorry it's so long, I just wanted everyone to right away understand why I'm confused about this. I’ve grown up going to a Christian camp with the rule you stomach...
