With a burdened heart, a bent knee, and an open
Bible, Pastor Martin gives this earnest appeal to
women for decided modesty of dress.
The men, however, are not excluded in this message.
Husbands and fathers are called upon to provide
pro-active quality control for their wives and
daughters.
This earnest appeal includes:
1.) Ten magnets for men’s eyes.
2.) Specific directives for women.
A Clueless Clarice from Louisville, KY (6/11/2008)
“ Thank you!!! ” Thank you, Pastor Martin! As a woman who thought they were modest but recently learned from a wise and honest sister that I could dress more modestly, I thank you for this sermon.
My fellow sisters in Christ, please tell your sisters if what they are wearing is immodest or "iffy"!!! As Pastor Martin said, there are those who honestly do not know that they are causing a potential stumbling block for men. As Titus 2 says, it really does have to do with not allowing the Word of God to be dishonored. (You can listen to an excellent series on Titus 2 by George McDearmon over on the RBC Louisville page).
An older women in the congregation is going to go through my wardrobe tomorrow with me, and then I will go on a mission trip to shop for clothes that will validate the Gospel!

“ Great Sermon! ” In response to our sister Mel, thus following up on brother Waters,
I actually attend Trinity, and I speak with now cognizant of the LORD'S EYES upon me, that the Gospel is vigorously ALIVE and THRIVING at Trinity Baptist. I testify to this, as a brother, that I have NEVER seen a church with such a strict adherence to modesty since I began fellowshipping at Trinity. The sermon was only partially in response to the dress of SOME (a minutiae) at Trinity, but rather serving as a long term admonition to our sisters (rather than a rebuke) in the love of CHRIST. Furthermore, the question of immodesty at Trinity would be a far, far, far cry from the most modest, modern-day evangelical church.
Lastly, regarding the "Addressing of the issue by a sister," well, brother Waters has spoken appropriately and biblically on the matter. I second the Scripture cited. Grace to you brother Mike.
Mike Waters from North Canton, Ohio (3/25/2008)
“ Very appropriate ” This comment is in response to the previous comment "I don't know." First, I dont believe that pastor's Martin's church has any great "issue" of dress, in comparison to others. Many churches have a far greater problem but are pastored by "dumb dogs." Second, the responibility to oversee the church is not given to "older ladies" but qualified men, who will one day give an account (Heb.13:17). Bless God for such men who speak the truth in love, regardless what it may cost.

“ I don't know... ” Oh my! They obviously have some fashion "issues" going on at this church. I appreciate this pastor's admonitions; however, I feel that it would have been more appropriate to have an older, respected woman speak to the women of the church about this problem.
Denise from pennsylvania (2/28/2008)
“ Great Sermon! ” Pastor Martin, Thank you for this sermon. I was convicted and humbled. In looking at myself and in-put form my husband and son,modesty is something that I practice but I believe I can do even more. I am so thankful that you obeyed God and preached this message. The church needs this message. I have been listening to you for about 1 1/2 years. Your solidness to preach Scripture Alone is what I desire to hear and obey. Thank you so much.
Beverley from Manitoba, Canada (2/26/2008)
“ The Truth shall set you free! ” Thank you Pastor Martin for your obediance to the Word. The difficult task of correcting and exhorting one another to live in such a way that we honor our Lord and Saviour displays your great love for Christ's bride. It is my earnest prayer that the conviction of the Holy Spirit would penetrate any hardness of heart concerning this very important subject.
