So rare in fact that the very mention of the term “modesty” will have preachers of the gospel bowing their heads in submission, and men and woman proclaiming to be Christians stomping out the door of the church house. However, this is still a commandment from God’s holy word and God calls us to abide by it. In this paper for a few moments I would like to discuss
