In about one month, my daughter will have her 4th birthday. I fear for her. My son is rapidly approaching the age of 6, and I certainly fear for him as well. I fear for their purity in a world that sees young ladies as eye candy instead of image-bearers of the living God.

Whether from apathy or shame, the issue of modesty and appropriate attire does not appear to be a popular topic within the church, even those who hold to reformed doctrines. It's not hard to see why - few things are as messy to discuss as issues related to sexuality, especially when the discussion involves revealing one's own temptations. Sure, it's easy to discuss being tempted by money, nice stuff, even fear of witnessing - somehow those sins are expected and the understanding is that everyone can identify with the struggle. They almost seem harmless because of their commonality.
