I have a lot of opinions and I am struggling to share them. My words are coming fast in my mind but when I try to release them on paper or on video I don’t think I am making much sense. I am struggling to share with my sisters-in-Christ what the words states regarding how we are to present ourselves.
Romans 12:1-2 (KJV)
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The problem is, at least my problem, social media is a faith wreck. So many Christians with so many interpretations of the Word. I have chosen to go back to basics, many people think traditions are bad.
I have chosen to be a “living sacrifice” and not conform myself to the styles of this world. I dress modestly on purpose and I include headcovering as a sign of my being under authority. This is not popular among most women, and there are men who think it makes me ugly. I believe I present myself in a manner that is acceptable to and according to the will of God.
I was listening to a video on Facebook today, GODLY DRESSING, the speaker made the argument for your clothing being your uniform. A lab coat indicates you are in the medical profession. Police officers, and military personal have specific uniforms. Restaurants have a dress code not only for the staff but in some instances the customers too; if nothing else- shoes and shirt must be worn. The speaker frankly stated: there are those who dress like a prostitute and not a Christian, I agree.
Over the years my writing and my vlogging have evolved and become more ministerial and less social. I am compelled to share with my sisters in Christ what the word states about how we present ourselves. As I say in my videos I don’t have a church title nor am I affiliated with a particular church, this is part of why I struggle. Yet, I have spent decades studying the word, seeking His face, fasting praying and even asking people who have credentials questions.
What I have resolved is to step away, again, and come back with a more formal approach to what I do; going to another level is what many call it. That does not mean I will not post, I am intentionally not requiring myself to write or post anything. Currently I have at least 14 blogs that need editing and posting- they may or may not be posted. I just posted about 6 videos on my YouTube channel and they are scheduled for release this month and perhaps in October. I am motivated by Titus 2.
Titus 2:3-5 (KJV)
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
I am an aged woman (62). Over the years many young women have crossed my path, many young Black women. If I don’t reach at least one who will? I can no longer share my opinions I must begin sharing Gods word. I have already started dressing the part.
