3. The Lord Who Judges It Is Displeased

Content: It isn’t honest to expose a man to the aroma of steak and apple pie, and then accuse him of being a glutton because he licks his lips. That’s why a young girl came home in anger one day and told her parents that a man had spoken to her in a disrespectful way and had insulted her. The girl’s father (who in some ways must have been a sensible man) reminded her that her scanty immodest dress made her as much to blame as the man who uttered the insults. Girls who want to be respected and who seek a happy life should not dress in a way that displays all the charms of the figure, and then go about their duties in society expecting to come home safely and without being the victims of abuse. It must be stated clearly however, that men will answer to God also for their preoccupation with evil glances and smutty remarks and immoral conduct. Those miserable lust-buzzards who eye every woman they meet and gush over silly females walking down the street—are headed for the pit of damnation, unless there’s some real repentance and turning toward God. Men too, should avoid tendencies toward nakedness. When men strut around wearing only the briefest of shorts, this is far from modesty. When at picnic tables or at their places of work, they appear stripped to the waist, it is hard to believe that such an appearance represents an attire that “becometh saints.” 3.
