Ladies, Does How You Dress Cause Men to Lust? - Sermon by Al Martin

Does how you dress honor God? Does how you dress cause men to stumble and lust? I pray this message will awaken some of you ladies consciences to the errors in your dress that is causing some of the little ones of the Lord to stumble.

Well my opinion is that God gave us naked bodies to cover with the expression of who we are. Uniformity is not individualization. Custom clothing of old Europe expressed nationality but only God knows the heart.

Teenagers wearing muscle shirts and low cut clothing shouldn’t flaunt what they are surprised to see in themselves. Nor should they laugh at what they should be ashamed of.

Straight from the hip shot many a good horse. It’s the straw men that keep beating it. :confused:

We shall bring the wayward ones to repentance. Continue to share as the message inspires you. Well done sister.

There's one way to settle this... pick a congregation, any congregation. Leave them on a deserted isle, and wait for maybe six months, observe the result. Is it a battle royale? Lord of the flies? Or Tongan castaways? You'll know them by their dress code. No, sorry, works.

It's kind of impossible really, given that there's a demographic for virtually everything. If you sat down and wrote a list you'd see that pretty much 100% of clothing is off limits.

It's best to wear what's comfortable on the day, and let everyone else do the worrying.

The full sermon is 50 minutes with no transcript. I’ll assume he’s covering the usual ground on the subject.

With a burdened heart, a bent knee, and an open Bible, Pastor Martin gives this earnest appeal to women for decided modesty of dress. The men, however, are not excluded in this message. Husbands and fathers are called upon to provide pro-active quality control for their wives and daughters. This earnest appeal includes:
  1. Ten magnets for men’s eyes.
  2. Specific directives for women.

I have been able to stumble, in my mind, no matter what a woman wears. So, I have needed to find out how to love, instead of just using women to look at them.

By the way, now we have maybe second-generation and third-generation women who were brought up to dress how they do. How they dress, now, might not be with the same motives as their immodest mothers had.

So women are to dress modestly, and men are to make women dress modestly.

Seems like a fair division of responsibility.

The sermon is directed to his congregation in response to a growing problem in the area.

We, as your elders, do not believe that there are women members of Trinity Baptist Church deliberately seeking to be seductive or sexually provocative to the men among us or that you are willfully and deliberately and defiantly seeking to blur male and female distinctions in your dress.

Any man that lusts after you will answer to God for his mental adultery. But you will answer to God if you have provoked it by the manner in which you are dressed.

What Paul is emphasizing is that Christian women should adorn themselves with clothing, hairstyles and jewelry which in their culture are inexpensive, not extravagant, modest, not vain and chaste, not suggestive.

The Greek of Peter shows adornment of a gentle nature taken from chaos to cosmos.

Here are the 10 magnets to men’s eyes.

Number one, dresses or skirts with lengthy slits. When a man’s eye sees a slit that comes up to the knee or above, he thinks, “Oh, a few more inches and what would I see?”

Secondly, dresses or skirts which hug the buttocks. A skirt that hugs the buttocks is a skirt that not only comes down over the buttocks, but back in to the back of the thighs.

Thirdly, any upper garment that hugs the breast. People should not receive an anatomy lesson in mammary glands when they look at you women. It is a magnet to men’s eyes.

Fourthly, unbuttoned blouses, low neck lines or cleavage on any upper body garment. And when a man sees only one button to go his mind goes, I wonder what is under that one more button.

Number five, another magnet to men’s eyes. Sleeveless blouses or dresses with large arm holes. You look down on your sleeveless dress and you see nothing but your shoulder. But if it is a large arm hole, a man sitting behind you looks up at the pulpit, sees through to your bra.

Number six, low rise skirts or pants. This is the style made popular by Christine [?], Brittany Spears, Jennifer Lopez, these sex pots, sex pots, flaunting their bodies in their gyrations with their so called music. They have made this style popular with the skirts that barely hang on the hip bones and with the jeans that barely come up and cover the crack of the buttocks.

Number seven, see through clothing of any kind, clothing that does not cover your under garments to the point where no one can see them. Some of you need to know the function of a camisole.

Number eight. Skirts and dresses that are just plain too short. Difficult when you are seated to adequately covered yourself. And then you get engrossed in something in a public setting and you are not keeping your knees locked together and before long the legs are spread a bit and anyone just happening to glance can see clean up to your pants.

Number nine. Slacks or pants or jeans—hear me carefully, women—that hug the buttocks, the thighs and the crotch.

And then, number 10, a bared midriff and back. This whole present style where tops come down and just barely, if at all, meet the low rise jeans. You may look in the mirror and say, “Well, I am fully covered,” but all you need to do is to reach here a couple of inches of your belly are showing. All you need to is bend over and people can see your back and usually the top of your underwear and it has happened right in this assembly.
