I have been asked to do a split session with our teen girls on modesty. In my internet searching for illustrations, I stumble across your sermon<\/a>. I have books, printouts, and many other sources, and needed help consolidating. What you have put together is exactly what I was looking for. You gave good illustrations and uses some great scriptures. Some I hadn’t yet found in my word searches. I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for approaching this topic and letting God use you.<\/p>\n\t You’re welcome. There is quite a bit of material on modesty on this web site, go to the Search page and type in “modesty<\/a>” or “clothing<\/a>” to find probably more material than you can use.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: I have been asked to do a split session with our teen girls on modesty.
