"Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in your brother's way. As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean. If your brother is distressed because of what you eat, you are no longer acting in love. Do not by your eating destroy your brother for whom Christ died. Do not allow what you consider good to be spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men. Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification."
--Romans 14:14-19
I realize that everyone has their own standard of what is appropriate, and there is a wide variation even among Christian women as to what we should wear. Some women only wear long skirts and head coverings; others feel shorts or strapless tops can be tasteful. I will obviously be using my own standard, which I have developed from advice from others (friends, mentors, my husband) as well as my conviction from God. I ask that you readers keep me accountable, too. If you feel offended by anything I post, please let me know. Or just don't read it ;)
