MODEST APPAREL: What Signals are you Transmitting and Why?

Transmit: To send out a signal. Broadcast, convey, relay, traject, or communicate.

There are certain neighborhoods in this country that if I walked into wearing certain colors it could be taken the wrong way. Whether I knew or not does not change the negative attention that could possibly come my way. Our external indicators(i.e. clothing) can attract certain attention to our atmosphere. Being naive/ignorant of our indicators(apparel) does not negate the possible consequences. Various animals also use different signals(i.e.mating calls) to attract certain attention into their atmosphere. Children of God should be aware(cognizant) of the consequences that can come from transmitting the wrong signals through their external apparel. The Bible speaks clearly about "modest apparel." When we as children of God do not align with scripture there is always consequences. Just as a woman can send forth the wrong signal(message) through her apparel(i.e. earrings, shoes, clothing); a man can also do the same.

Before we leave the house we should ask ourselves "what message(signal) are we transmitting(sending forth) and why?" Lack of attention? If we as children of God are representing the Kingdom of God, then the message that we are transmitting, both internally(spiritually) and externally(physically) can be received as either positive or negative. Signals draw(attract) attention. We must be aware of what areas(curvatures) of our body we are attracting(inviting) attention to with our apparel. When our external(physical) apparel contradicts with our internal(spiritual) apparel then we are sending two different(mixed) signals which causes confusion. We do not serve a God of confusion. We as children of God have to be wise in how we choose to dress ourselves so that we are not transmitting confusion and also inviting certain inspirations into our atmosphere. What is the inspiration behind your apparel?
