If I could erase one trend from history, what would it be?

The one trend I would erase from history would be the “beauty models” of today. You can’t even walk through a grocery store anymore without seeing an advertisement of overdressed, beautiful women wearing lipstick, makeup, low-cut dresses. . .you get the picture.

We’re too caught up on the outward beauty of women and the ridiculous, inappropriate clothing of today (something that God strictly forbids, and for a good reason!)

1 Timothy 2:9-10 (NIV)-
“I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.”

This verse is not saying women shouldn’t dress beautifully. For the women out there, you can definitely dress beautifully if you desire! But don’t do it to attract others’ attention or to be vain; always follow God’s commandments and dress appropriately.

1 Peter 3:3-4 (NIV)

“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”

Rarely do you find a beautiful woman who has a true heart for God and others. This is our calling, ladies, that all who truly desire to serve God are beautiful, both inside and out.
