Table-Talk - The Theology of Fashion.
In this week's TableTalk, we talked aboutAPPEARANCE - the outward appearance of the Christian. Does it matter what I look like, what I wear, what way I do my hair etc? What does my appearance say about me? Here’s a Scripture text, to start the discussion:-
1 John 2:15-17 “Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.”
That statement of Johns, that we are not to love the world, and the things that the world values, - sexual attraction, material possessions and self-esteem, - should help us to lay a foundation for our understanding of our appearance - what our outward appearance says about us to others. Your clothes speak for you. When people look at us, do they see people who are conforming to the values of the world, or who have turned away from those lusts and passions?
Our outward appearance says a lot about us! So, our topic is APPEARANCE - the Theology of Fashion.
