Girls Gone Wise

I mentioned here that I am reading Mary A. Kassian’s book Girls Gone Wise in a World Gone Wild. As a follow up I wanted to let you know that Mary Kassian is (has been) teaching through her book via a video book blog. You can watch the first few lessons/chapters here.

Below is today’s lesson which I am posting because today she taught on modesty and you know that is one of my interests.




Today’s lesson reminded me of something that Nancy L. DeMoss said in one of her lessons on modesty. She said (and I’m going to paraphrase) that our clothing should glorify God.

In today’s lesson Mrs. Kassian said something similar that we should all take to heart. She said that our clothes are a reflection of Christ in us. That is something to really ponder (and to think about the next time we go swimming). What does “Christ in us” look like when it is reflected by the clothes we wear? Lots to ponder.

Clothing is an outward, visible symbol of an inward, spiritual reality. When you “put on Christ,” He covers your shame and makes you what you should be. He offers you His garments, “so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen” (Revelation 3:18). His covering makes us decent (Galatians 3:27). Without it, we are indecent. The physical clothing we wear is supposed to bear witness to that fact. It testifies that the Lord covers our sin and makes us presentable. That’s why we need to cover our bodies in public. That’s why public nakedness is inappropriate. -from Girls Gone Wise by Mary A. Kassian
