We are currently living in an upside-down world, and it is hitting about each aspect of life. So much so that people can no longer ignore the clown world this has been especially for the past sixty plus years. In this article I'm going to get into how a collapsing society has even influenced people to no longer dress with dignity and grace.
It's bad enough when many people leave their house now, they don't bother to get dressed but to have no respect for the place you work in and especially church it's unacceptable. When it comes to church people tend to get things confused and believe that if you put an effort into your appearance, you're vain and you care more about the way you look or you’re deceiving people. However, that's not entirely true while many people are vain and do deceive people, but you are supposed to dress your best for God. By best I mean with modest apparel, nothing loud, not covered in name brands, low cut, and flashy. Below is a verse on how to dress as a woman:
1 Timothy 2:9-10
Likewise, also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.
No one is saying to dress like you're going to a Gala when it comes to church but have respect for God and the place of worship. Leave the rolled out of bed look for home. Leave the torn jeans, oversized t-shirts, and the costume jewelry for another event. If you are a true Christian woman, then you should always dress modestly. Think about shows like “Little House on the Prairie,” or “I Love Lucy,” and “The Donna Reed Show.” It's about dressing with dignity and respect. If you watch “Little House on the Prairie,” you would know they didn't have a lot of money, but they dressed their best for church every Sunday. They saved their Sunday best for Sunday for God they showed up for God. Why is that so lost now?
Society is collapsing and whether people want to admit it or not the way you dress reflects who you are. If you act like you don't care, you dress like you don't care. The fact is churches are filled with people that don't care anymore. Lukewarm Christianity is running rampant in churches across the world especially America. Every single demonic behavior is being accepted. Churches are waving gay flags and letting women preach, they're not even preaching the actual word of God anymore. It all goes hand in hand. If a woman calls herself a Christian and dresses in an overly sexualized way than that is who you are. How you dress is who you are, if it wasn't then why would you choose to wear certain clothes?
When it comes to work people don't even dress up either. People go into work with sneakers, pajama pants, oversized t-shirts, and I can go on and on, but you get the picture by now. If you don't know then look around, you. Are you one of them? How did you get that way and why? The crazy thing is people like to say, "I wear what I want," "What I wear doesn't define me." How do you explain people who looked like they've given up on work and life act like they want to give up. The demeanor and over all attitude says, "They don't care."
There are adults at work that no longer have respect for the place they work in and actually go to work looking like they just rolled out of bed. We have higher ups that are afraid to tell their employees to look professional because of hurt feelings this is insane we need to do better and we're not. We are living in a moment in society where looking bad is actually seen as normal and anyone who is getting dressed up or dressed at all are being seen as the weird ones. We're living in an episode of the Twilight Zone the episode of the pig people.
When was the last time anyone got dressed to go out? People have no problem spending hundreds of dollars on food, technology, overpriced services and do all of that while looking so awful. Why are we not putting an effort into the way we look? During the 1940’s there was a shortage of fabric and the people especially the women still made the best of it. It’s not about vanity, it’s about decency. We have lost all of our sense of decency that the mere thought of getting dressed like you have a purpose has become so outrageous. It’s so ludicrous.
Never be ashamed to put an effort in your appearance. Forget the people that criticize you for caring how you look and for looking down on you for doing so. They are miserable and lazy and are more than likely upset you're not conforming to this ridiculousness like they themselves have conformed. On the flip side you'll have people complimenting you and asking, "where are you going, you look so nice?" while wearing something so casual. I have personal experiences where I'm just wearing a casual dress that even ten years ago it would have been considered a normal brunch dress, now being considered as a dress for the most formal occasions. I appreciate the compliments and they're very nice compliments, but a casual dress is not anything special.
There are people that will give you dirty looks because you don't look like you rolled out of bed. However, on the other hand there are people that think you're going to a gala because you put an effort in to the way you look. The world is upside and it's in every corner including the way people dress. Once again, the way you dress describes your attitude. People today have no respect for authority, their fellow man, no respect for God, the place they work, the places they go that have dress codes, their neighbors, their neighborhoods, and their families and loved ones. All of that shows and it needs to stop we need a better class of people and women need to do better and sadly most women are doing worse and worse. The point is not to be mean but to be honest and let go of our feelings and emotions.
Remember get up, thank God, get dressed and take on the day with dignity and grace.
