Something to think about

I have a question can you tell someones walk with God by what they wear??? Is whats in the heart the only thing that matters or does whats on the outside matter too??? I heard the other day someone say "your walk with God is more important then what you wear" but here I have a thought would you be wearing skin tight jeans and really small shirts if you have a good walk with the Lord??? Now you may say "well you shouldn't judge someone you can't see there heart" and that is true but think about this if you want to serve the Lord and really want to see people saved then shouldn't you look like you care more about yourself then about what the guy across the street thinks of your figure. Here is soemthing another person said "I am normal I wear pants" now does or does not the Bible say we are a peculiar people??? here are some verses that talk about that

Deu 14:2 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God, and the LORD hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.

Deu 26:18 And the LORD hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;

Tts 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

1Pe 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

So if we are "normal" then are we a christian of better yet if we are "normal" then our walk with God can't be that great can it??? Because if we are to havea walk with God then we need to be peculiar people. I'm not saying be a geek or dress like you from the 70's I'm saying dress modestly. I have done a little studying and I have read (more then once) that the word modest means a long flowing garment. Now you can make this to mean what you want it to mean I have been told that coulots are not modest because you can see up them but you can only see up them when you are doing things that mabey you should not be doing.

I am not trying to be judgmental at all in this it is just something you might like to think about.

Every conviction should come from a desire to live a holy life. It's not about pleasing men but pleasing God. It's a difficult thing to understand but it all boils down to one question: what think ye of Christ?

Check Deuteronomy 22:5
