YAY IT’S SUMMER!!!!.

The Bible is very clear that the seasons are put in place for our benefit. They have been changing since the world was created. Many things let us know that it is summertime. We have the bright ball of fire in the sky called the sun. We have temperatures that are at record levels and some at the same. Unfortunately there are other signs:

One area that gets this author’s attention is the way that so many people are dressing during the summer. The Bible first speaks of immodest dress for a woman and man. We know from many stories in the Bible that nothing good ever came from a person dressing like a “harlot” (according to the Bible). We have people professing to be members of churches and the body of Christ in this county that wear clothes that are just plain disgusting. They are not only sinful and in direct violation of the scriptures but the example that these people are setting for our younger people is just shameful. “Are they ashamed of their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them," says the LORD” (Jer.3:15). I believe this is where some are. What we have is our fellow Christians have decided that God is okay with the way they dress. They think God is okay with them wearing bikinis, halter tops, and other scantily clad clothing. I beg to differ from what I have read. I know if Jesus went down to the beach and found all of this many would be grabbing for towels and trying to get a dress or shirt if one is a man on to prepare for a long talk that Jesus will have in store for them. The thing is he sees everything we are doing now. I am reminded of Sodom and Gomorrah in those days how loose the people had become and the pure adulterated atmosphere there. God blistered the face of this earth because of the things they were doing. I doubt from what we find in the scriptures that God is any more pleased with the trashy dressing so many people are doing. I believe that if our society doesn’t change and our friend’s ways remain complacent that we will be in the same judgment.
