Learning God's Lessons: Abercrombie and Fitch

Abercrombie and Fitch

I saw on the news this morning that the clothing store Abercrombie will be selling padded bikinis for girls ages 8-14. People are upset, and I'm glad that they are, but no one seems to be upset that little girls or pre-teen girls are wearing bikinis in the first place. Of course I think that Abercrombie should take the bikinis off their clothing racks, but how about moms not buying bikinis for their little girls in the first place? Every spring when I walk through the stores and see how small the clothing is for the season, I cringe inside. Not only will my family be subject to seeing too much skin, but so will every pedophile who prowls the streets. Moms and dads are making their own daughters targets for all the perverts out there. My heart hurts for the lack of modesty being taught to girls. What do you think?

Laurie, you are right. And yet the beaches and water parks will be full this summer of both barely clad children and pedophiles...and the parent's heads stuck in the sand saying, "oh, they're just kids".

Thankful to be a not-so-old fogie! We swim fully clothed.

I agree, there may be a lot of perverse marketing out there, but parents do not have to succumb to the lure. People should protect their children:)

Amen. I don't have kids. However, I'm a teacher and I am so glad we have school uniforms to keep the children dressed decently.
God bless,
Steve

The Most Important Thing You Can Know!

Do you know where you will spend eternity one day? If not, here's how you can know:

1. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." The Bible says we are all sinners. Sin is hereditary--we were all born sinners because Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden.
2. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." A wage is a payment. We must pay for our sins and they way we pay is by death. Everyone is born once, and everyone must die once. But the story doesn't end there--Jesus, God's only Son died on the cross for our sin and paid the penalty for us. All we have to do accept the gift of salvation. We can't work for it, go to church for it, or be good for it. Faith in Christ alone is what will save us.
3. Romans 10:9 says, "But if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." If you know that you are a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and resurrected--and if you know that He did that for YOU, all you have to do is ask Him to come into your heart and save you.
4. If you would like to accept Christ, just ask him now--it's the difference between Heaven and Hell.
