Topic of the week.

This is new for me I have never done a topic before but I got the feeling that this would be good. Not just for me but for everyone else. Every week I will place a topic in a post, where anyone can write what they want about it. I will also write my thoughts on thee subject and over the course of the week will read everyone's opinions and even maybe write more. I'm doing this not only because I feel I should but also because I noticed that every time I gave a talk, I better understoud the subject and my testimony was strenghtened by it. I believe that this will help strenghten others testomonies or even their faith.
This week's topic is on the clothing that you wear.

CLOTHING

Now I am going to talk about the clothing that you wear. I'm sure that most of you know that in the strenght of youth it talks about your dress and appearence and wearing it cleanly. I'm going to talk about that too, but the thing I feel I must stress is the cloths that you wear at church. In the True to the Faith booklet it talks about Dress and it reads, " Through your dress and appearence, you can show the Lord that you know how precious your body is. Your clothing expresses who you are.--- When you are well groomed and modestly dressed, you can invite the compionship of the Spirit and exercise a good influence on those around you." When you go to church the way you dress says how much you respect God and Jesus Christ, it shows how much you love an dcare for them, it says how much you value what they say. For example when you go on a date or anywhere with friends you dress nice, and when you do that you are telling them- I don't want you to think bad of me and I don't want to not show you how much I care by wearing sloppy cloths and acting mean, while we are at a nice place- Would you wear sweats going out to eat at a nice restraunt, niether would I wear sweats at church. By wearing my best cloths I'm saying to Hevenly Father that he matters to me and he means enough that I will dress nicely and I will behave properly at church. While preparing to go to church ask yourself this question so that you may know if what your wearing is the right thing to wear. " Would I feel comfortable with my appearence if I were in the Lords presence?" If the answer is no, do you realy think it would be appropreate to worship Him in those cloths, for is he not watching you and looking over you. That goes for anytime, is he not watching you doess he not know your heart, your mind and your soul. Dressing modestly is important it sets the whole mood of where you are. It says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 "19 What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God,and ye are not your own

20 For ye are bought with a price:therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." If your body is the temple in which the Holy Ghost lives would you not want him to want to stay there? Dressing modestly is the way to keep the Lord on your side.
