From the introduction, Mary K. Mohler, wife of seminary president R. Albert Mohler Jr, SBTS, Louisville, Kentucky:
As we narrow our look at modesty to the issue of clothing,
Mary Mohler, SBTS
it is easily observed that when women of the world head out in the morning, they are not concerned about appearing modest. Instead, most women are heading out hoping that they are in vogue, in fashion and not wearing last year’s styles. Many clamor to be in step with whatever Hollywood has trotted out.
There is a popular discount store that boasts a line of clothing called “Xhilaration.” It is targeted to girls as young as 6 years of age and it comes with this label: “There are no rules. Whether you choose to dress crazy or dress to thrill— make a statement, make a scene, wear what you want and it won’t be wrong.” That sums the world’s philosophy in a nutshell. The attitude is “if you’ve got it, flaunt it; leave as little to the imagination as possible and as for modesty, get real, this is the 21st century.”
