MODESTY AND DRESS CODE:
We believe this group must be based on the highest standard of scriptural examples—not what is acceptable to society, for society is hardly close to pure or complete.
This includes the language we use in communications with one another, the way we treat our “brother” and work out disagreements, and how we dress.
Many are opposed to a dress code or modesty statement – as the parents of four sons, we are not. For all our gatherings including New Moons and other Festivals, MEN of all ages should dress in nice casual attire (no shorts or T-shirts promoting trucks or shoe companies, please.).
And, our preference for LADIES of all ages would be to wear skirts or dresses that fall below the knees when seated (with legs crossed or not) [if not sure where the knee is, please google “what is the knee on a human”]. This is easy to test at home by sitting in front of a mirror (no measuring sticks are necessary). Loose fitting capris or long pants are fine as well. Young girls should wear leggings of some sort, as well, to prevent immodesty while playing, running, etc. We also request no sleeveless, tight-fitting, or low-cut shirts. We are here to study scripture … not each other. Please don’t be a stumbling block or distraction, but rather a beacon of light.
Please take note that we are not perfect parents by any stretch of anyone's imagination. But we do what we can to guard and protect our children. This is a daily dynamic challenge and what we believe is best today may need to be adjusted or completely overhauled tomorrow. But, in the end, we will have to provide answers to our Creator about why we allowed our children to run around covered in yellow snow.
No one needs to believe the way we do, however, as for me, the father, and my house, we will carefully follow YHWH to the best of our ability. If you are in disagreement, then we ask for the appliation of the Golden Rule concept and for the time that you visit with us for a few hours to NOT be a stumbling block to anyone.
In addition, this is not legalism--even if you think it is, it isn't. As a father, I challenge anyone to find me a pattern of behavior in scripture that YHWH exclaims as wonderful when it violates His principles.
This is simply the application of guarding and protecting our children. Just as we don't keep the Sabbath; we guard and protect it. That is the point of Hebraic understanding. We don't "have" children, we are molding and shaping them to be pleasing in the sight of our Creator. We cannot let our guard down on purpose.
No parent is perfect and all parents make mistakes along the way. But, hopefully, we see those mistakes and learn from them and adjust quickly to improve and guide our children along a path that will bring lasting joy and ultimate fulfilment.
Save the planet: Earth needs more children who are sincere, truthful, respectful, pure, who love their Creator with all their heart, soul and resources and love their neighbor just the same. This brings a blessing upon the parents and blesses our Creator too. Back to HOME...
