Addressing the Dressing: Modesty

We're entering rocky terrain.  Over the next few weeks, we're going to scale the crags of 1 Timothy 2:9-15.  As we traverse these verses, I'll dare to utter such cultural heresies as "men and women are different," God assigns gender roles for His people," and "women should be modest." 

I can't say at this juncture how long we will be here or how much I will devote to all these questions.  Even so, I commend an easy-to-read but thorough series on that latter point.  I probably won't go into this amount of detail, so I hope it will help you think through these issues:

Caution regarding the teaching of Lysa Terkeurst

Scripture does not require us to create such a law, and many parents simply do not have the luxury of choice due to various constraints. That said, churches should do what we can to give parents more choices.  For example, our church hosts a Classical Conversations co-op, we have a youth after-school program for public school students, and we're exploring ways to provide more educational opportunities in the future.  My family has long-chosen to homeschool, and our experience has only reinforced our concerns about public education, ...
