quote about modesty. (dont shoot me!)

Posted in Quotes

Anything that “hints” at sex outside of marriage is wrong.  Ephesians 5:3 (NIV) defines God’s standard for purity: “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality.”  This certainly includes actually having sex.  But the sexual sin forbidden here is broader than that.  There should not be even a hint of sex outside of the marriage bed.  You don’t have to have physical contact with a guy to “hint” at sexual sin.  Jesus extended the definition of sexual sin to include looking at someone and lusting after them (Matthew 5:28).  You “hint” at sex when you wear a low-cut tank top showing off your cleavage.  You “hint” at sex when you text message something flirtatious to a guy-friend.  You “hint” at sex when you hang around the Abercrombie poster in the mall, glancing a few too many times…”

Lies Young Women Believe, Nancy Leigh Demoss and Dannah Gresh, 91.
