Christian women have obligation to dress modestly, Mary Mohler says - (BP)

Mary Mohler believes there are certain clothes Christian women should never wear. Ever.

Whether it be miniskirts, hip-hugger jeans or skin-tight shirts, Mohler -- wife of seminary president R. Albert Mohler Jr. -- believes they should be avoided. Her reason? Christian women have a biblical obligation to dress modestly and reflect holiness.

"The [world's] attitude is if you've got it, flaunt it," she said. "Leave as little to the imagination as possible. Regenerate Christian women, I don't believe, leave home with this attitude. We seek to live godly, holy lives."
...
"It's a timeless problem," she said. "In biblical times there were problems with how women dressed."
...
Mohler suggested that women sort through their closet and "throw away some things that really do not pass the test. Does God care how we dress? You bet he does. He cares about every aspect of our life, and we are called to holiness."

Mohler gave a list of items that her daughter will never be allowed to wear: halter tops, tube tops, skin-tight shirts, low-cut shirts, midriff-exposing shirts, miniskirts, short shorts and anything from Abercrombie and Fitch.

"Do I sound like an authoritarian parent?" she asked. "I hope so. Because I am a parent, and as parents we are given a lot of different jobs, and it's challenging. We are to love our children and shepherd them and nurture them. But we're also to teach them ... because they're still children. They need direction."

Good stuff.
