Questions for Christians…A Great Post!
Wow! A newfound friend in the world of blogging recently captured my thoughts exactly in her post. I love this post it goes right along with what I have been thinking about as well. The other day my husband and I were discussing how that it’s strange a long skirt or a head covering can cause so many negative responses or comments. As a Christian such outward acts can cause people to be embarrased to be with you, when they wouldn’t say a word if you expressed your individuality in other ways such as with immodest dress or interesting body piercings, etc. This is true even amongst our Christian friends.
She said it better than I could reiterate. This is a very thought provoking post, may we think about seriously about the points made here. Read her post, “Questions for My Fellow Christians,” below at her site:

God’s Word is very strong when it says in James 4:4 “Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.”
The world is the culture of today, cultural Christianity sounds like worldly Christianity to me. Enmity is a strong word, meaning ‘hatred’ which is the opposite of love for God. Who do we really love? God or the World? There really is no in between, that’s called being luke warm (Revelation 3:16).

I have come to the conclusion that life in the US must be very different to life in the UK. I lived off and on for short periods in Colorado but never noticed the difficulties so many women seem to encounter with skirts/scarves. I am 44 and I haven’t worn trousers except for climbing for over 20 years and I’ve never had an off look. I hope we don’t catch up with you on that issue any time soon!

Great post! I agree with you: I think sometimes (too often) even Christians compromise and desire to be a friend of the world. Compromise seems so easy these days, but it certainly isn’t free. It comes at a great price.
Blessings, dear one.

I’m honored you referenced my post. I loved what you said about people being more okay with others expressing themselves with body piercings etc…. SO true!
