A Modest Heart and Nancy Leigh DeMoss

A newly engaged young woman asked her friends and family to boycott Victoria's Secret when they purchased gifts for her bridal shower. She explained that she did not want her marriage to support a business that so flagrantly abused sexuality and scriptural principles of modesty. This girl's stance brought a lot of people up short and made then stop and consider the implications of her request. Talk about standing alone!

The word "modesty" implies prudish, every inch of skin covered but is that really what God calls His daughters to embrace? Nancy Leigh DeMoss, a well-known author, speaker and Revive our Hearts talk show host tackles this topic in her radio broadcast in a way that is refreshing, challenging and convicting. You may not agree with everything she says, but I encourage you to check out the messages, especially if you have teen girls who are struggling to discover how to enhance their beauty without violating God's principles. Your teen boys would also benefit from understanding what a modest heart looks like and how to discern if a girl's heart is focused on that modesty. If you mentor teen girls, these broadcasts would be a great teaching tool as well. Nancy opens one broadcast with the words, "A woman's greatest loveliness comes through a modest heart, and a modest heart expresses itself in modest behavior, modest dress, modest reactions and modest attitudes." Just what is a modest heart and how do you know if you have one? Nancy's handling of scripture on this topic will take you deeper into God's Word as she offers some counter-cultural beauty tips.
