My Promise

I just finished reading Every Young Man's Battle-no, its not a typo...-and I have learned MANY facts about guys. You might think its a little strange, but I think its smart. I wanted to read it because I thought it would help me help you (guys). During my teen years, I have dressed modestly and that has not really been a huge deal for me because of my parents. But since reading this, I have realized that modesty in clothing is great, but I also need to be modest in my actions and my body language. I have probably been a stumbling block to my brothers in this area, but since reading Every Young Man's Battle, I want to change. So, here is my promise to guys and since I am making it known to everyone, you may keep me accountable.

I Promise to act in a way pleasing to the LORD

and in a way that will not cause my brothers

to stumble or fall because in a world full of sexual

impurity and temptation, my brothers need

an example of a pure and modest young woman.

Romans 14:13b says "Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block in your brother's way."

Romans 14:21 says "It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall."

Romans 15:1-2 says "We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up."
