I always tell people: modesty is between you and God. Ask the Holy Spirit and He will tell you. You can’t dress for others. People will always be fickle and inconsistent. Some people love this dress. Some hate it. Some think her husband needs to step up and stop her as if she’s not a grown woman responsible for her own actions. Absolutely no one agrees because there is no standard. Dress for others and you’ll never be satisfied. Some will sexualize a nun in a habit. Others will never stop until you’re naked. And others will change their opinion based on how much they fear you. Dress for God. Ask. That’s all you need to do. When Paul asked for modesty in the church, he was writing to places like Corinth, home of a temple to Aphrodite whose orgies and rituals would out Vegas to shame. When Paul told the people they were new creations in Christ, he meant LITERAL street walkers, gays, courtesans, sex workers, strippers, prostitutes, and abused children. Someone exactly like Nala. And Paul MEANT IT. He wrote it just to make sure they understood, because the world most certainly did not care that “such WERE some of you”. God is love, and love meant telling sex workers that Jesus cleansed them. Most internet dwellers don’t like to hear that because somehow we are meant to hate “whores” for the rest of their lives. Nobody asked me. I do think the dress could be seen as immodest and I wouldn’t let my daughter wear it. But I also think that I’ve seen much worse in my life and this isn’t worth the controversy and hubbub. Nala is stunningly beautiful and she’s rocking this. Looking amazing in our youth isn’t always a crime. If anything, this makes me believe her conversion is genuine. Why? Because she’s still “got it”. If she wanted to keep making millions on OF, she could. She quit in her prime. And to me, that’s the power of the Holy Spirit. Saying no when it hurts your bottom line? Sure, maybe we all think we know what she needs to do. But the Bible doesn’t give us a checklist other than repent and do the good deeds Jesus has planned for us. If Nala keeps young women out of porn, I don’t really care WHAT dress she wears to a gala. But I’m going to go to bed tonight. I’ll forget about this. My message will never change to women and men: dress for God. You answer to Him, not mankind. Please Him. If you love someone, tell them the truth…kindly and privately.
