Nicholas Alexander, sermons are important to help us build our faith . It's the first step . Faith comes from hearing , hearing the word of God. But hearing sermons alone can't grow our faith . It is by studying God's words , praying , witnessing , live an obedient life by God's grace that will bring us closer to the Lord. To be born again Christians.
I came back to the Lord after being away from him for 8 years. Back in December I came back, March I became an Adventist, august 26th (last saturday) I was rebaptized in the SDA church after not being baptized since I was a baby in the Catholic Church. You got this 💪🏼
Dear brother Doug Batchelor I just want you to know that I been watching your program since I was a teenager I am very grateful for your teachings I am a grandma now and I still get very blessed by your teachings may the continue to bless you and your family and friends
Wow! An excellent bible-based sermon on this principle. The best I have heard on this topic. May God help us to honor Him on everything we do, this includes clothe ourselves.
Very good sermon Pastor Doug. Thank you for teaching the things that are very important, yet many church leaders shy away from because they know it's not popular!
This is why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover there are a lot of homeless people living with no ac or people living in cars or RVs with no AC in hot climates and need to dress for the weather. If you watched this video so you can judge others in the comments then your life is sad. Think outside the box. The Bible says also that people will have different situations and sometimes certain things will not apply to them.
If I knew what I knew then that I do now I would have never dressed sexy in my life I was a young girl I thought that was the way you were supposed to be did not teach me any of these things about dress I found my dad's pornography when I was a girl I thought that that's the way I was supposed to be dress sexy I thought that was a good thing thank God I'm not that girl anymore I don't dress that way anymore I'm thankful to God repented from doing that
every video from Doug that i’ve watched today, he’s mentioned wardrobe. I think God is trying to tell me something, I will listen! Lord, give me the means to dress modestly. Amen.
Not trying to be mean but you can wear what ever you want to wear but not to much red or black people will think you a demon and will not talk to you as they will think you love devil
@@EricSaavy I do believe Jesus said: I you love me, OBEY (keep) MY commandments, not some bishop. Apostolic succession is hawg wash. So is pagan practices calling it religion using Jesus'name. Did you not understand the true meaning of of Isaiah talking about seven women ? That's apostate churches and THEIR righteousness, pagan tradition and doctrines of devils (their OWN bread) That's the religio-political system spoken of by Daniel the prophet and John in the Revelation. That's Rome where a man forgives sins in God's place and where a man and his doctrine is reveared over Jesus and His words ....when ya get through! Too much time is spent on Adventist sites spewing apostolic succession doctrine by true dissenters and it's a total waste of time because these people know (most anyway, others come by God's grace to learn) truth about the man of sin, the son of perdition. You are wasting your time and their time. I see you everywhere bending the ear when you should be selling indulgences somewhere to help rebuild Notre Dame.... respectfully.
@@EricSaavy It's difficult to understand your statement which has a lot of CAPS, so you are obviously shouting. How about you clearly state your thoughts without sounding sanctimonious and self-righteous yourself?
so glad to hear this message. many Christians will dismiss this and say it's not important, but it is. I pray I will make the appropriate small changes in my own wardrobe. Submissive Sabbath to all
Dan Ordel Why don’t you buy them new modest clothes to wear instead of judging them? Why don’t you talk to them nicely and mention what bothers you? There’s ways of handling the situation instead of coming on here and judging them when they’re not present.
@@abbycat000 ....its not about judging them, talking to them or buying them clothes....the subject is about not having common senses to know where and how to dress accordingly.....is that simple enough?
Amen. Sadly a lot of our churches need this sermon. Is sad that I went to another sda church when my brother was getting baptized a few weeks ago and my husband and I couldn’t even concentrate on the service.
Service ? Last time I went to a conference church it's was 40 min of yay and nay on church business, a couple songs and 10-15 min of a watered down gospel. Zzzzzz.
@@richardpotter6313 It happened to us in Kingston, Ontario back in 2017. Exactly how you describe it plus, there was no one to take care of the little children...Our atheist daughter was with us and it was the last time she and her brother ever came to a service with us again. We all left when the voting stuff started. There was not even a sermon. We had never been there.
@@annesimon537 They're no longer allowed to teach the 3 angels messages. Afraid of falling out of grace with the World Council of Churches ...and the govt 501c3 status. What people don't realize is that IF an organization tries to do away with the tax havens, they have to repay every dime they got a break on. That'll bust most groups. All sounded real good in the beginning. Some states here even require pastors to clear their sermons with the man ahead of time.
@@Bruce.-Wayne Ya ain't lying! When people have been entrusted to someone to teach them truth, they have those people's blood on their hands. It's no light thing.
Never lived in GODS love I belonged to the world A flower full blown Where I was my own I took much for granted No lite shined on me But its now I realize I was too blind to see Yes I know I'm a sinner As dark as the nite Don't know what's ahead Or what's wrong or right Whispered temptations Keep following me Amid the darkness of life I heard a sweet song of love Telling of truth and hope Thru the glory of GOD His saving GRACE Is all that one needs Now more precious Than all my desires I'll follow behind Him Where ever He leads.
I agree this sermon should be preached in every church. Modesty is key to dressing for church worship and daily life of a christian. Yes, wardrobe has changed throughout the years, but just because it's in fashion does not necessarily make it church appropriate. Church is a place we go to get away from the world and its deceitful ways. Thank you Pastor Doug for this message. God bless 🙏 thanks for adding humor to your sermons 😂
This is a well needed sermon for this age. Nakedness taking over the churches,the devil is a liar. We need to stand and preach the TRUTH. The house of GOD is turning into a fashion show to distract the eyes of others. Our sole purpose is to praise the LORD not to be enticed or entertained when we go to the house of GOD. We need to rise up and take a stand the LORD is about to return.
Amen, Thank you Pastor Doug for clarifying these simple truth. Amen!!! I find it easier to grab on to my learning a permanente way, by putting it into practice as soon as I learn it. Thank you all who help in this Ministry as well. May God bless you all richly!
Plain dress that is modest and the materials are not environmentally harmful but natural, organic and also Fairtrade ARE required by all Christians , we are not of this world and we shouldn’t follow the evil ways of the world
I have always felt like if we could see God on the platform our behavior would change. He is thre with us no matter if we can see him or not. If the Queen of England were to visit our church we would not attend wearing the clothing that many do. The same with behavior. We would not behave in the loose , noisey way that is done if the Queen were there. Why isn't' God reverenced at least as much as an earthly monarch? He is there with us although we cannot see Him.
My home church just finished the rebuilding. The 55yo (asian) pastor who was very tradional and always suited up, no wears tshirt and hip glasses. The church now has a STAGE instead of a pulpit. And the brightest laserlightning. Movie theaterseats, the old wooden couches are now removed. And the tastless black coffee after church is now an italianstyle type bar with nespresso and late's. A traditional 95% white church, serieus and homelike is now a club. Im a black man in The Netherlands. The church is now just like the world. And I am only 25 yet a miss normal churchlike church. So now you all know that the tradional church has been destroyed and defeated around the world. What to dooo?? Its sad.
Church is more than a building. Focus pn meeting God and being filled with the Holy Spirit each week. If it is not Bible based truth anymore then you should find one that is.
Jesus gave us the example. He was going every Sabbath to the synagogue, in which almost nobody was really converted. Tell people to repent, if they start to hate you, change of church. If you can't, then there is no real solution. Continue to go to the same church, giving the same example. Mat 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
I agree with the sermon and the importance of modesty in dress.. However, we need to stop implying that Bathsheeba intentionally positioned herself so that David could notice her.. There is no scriptural evidence to support that.. And GOD help us if we are wrong because we would have wrongfully judged her.. She was out late at night when the men- including David- should have been at war.. While a woman should be well covered and her revealing herself is seductive, we as men have to bear responsibility for what we look at, dwell on and our subsequent actions..
@Revoque Chegmester They were at war. That's why David had Uriah come back from the front so that he could have relations with Bathsheba, to cover up her pregnancy. I don't see any place in the Bible that suggests Bathsheba knew David was watching. People (men and women) need to take responsibility for their actions instead of blaming others for their bad behavior. Women should dress modestly, to glorify God and not to let men stumble, but the men need to take responsibility for acting on their bad behavior. Women shouldn't be blamed for men who rape.
I am not sure where you got your information, but Bathsheba was actually bathing in what is called a Micvah. She had just finished her monthly cycle which had made her unclean. This is a Hebrew religious ritual all Jewish women participated in. David was the one on the rooftop above the entire city. He was the guilty party whose lust controlled his decision to send messengers to "take" Bathsheba from her place and command her to come to him. Women would never be given the freedom to defy the command of the King! You need to read the chapter again in context. In Hebrew the language her depicts a rape. Bathsheba was a innocent victim to the selfish lust of David. This weakness of David plagued him through out his reign. Just count how many wives and concubines he owned. Women he chose often left him into pagan compromise. Check out his life story in completeness. the end of David's life was a result of this weakness with women.
@Revoque Chegmester Friend, first off I am a man.. My display pic is a picture of my wife.. Second, there is no scripture that says that GOD punished Bathsheeba.. You are assuming that the baby's death was a punishment to Bathsheeba.. It was clearly a punishment for David's sin.. That is why he petitioned to GOD in sackcloth on behalf of the child.. Because he recognized that the child's condition was on account of his sin.. Additionally, please re read the text prayerfully.. It was obvious that it was the first time David saw Bathsheeba bathing in a place that she normally bathes; which is a clear indication that it was not planned.. Two, David couldn't sleep and he just happened to go out on his verandah which was in an elevated position; an elevated vantage point that Bathsheeba had never been to to realize she can be seen from there.. This obviously means that Bathsheeba was bathing late at night - at a time when people should have been sleeping.. When you consider those facts it was obvious she had no intention of being seen and him seeing her was just happenstance.. Again, David should have been at war.. In David's time, Twitter and CNN was not around to notify citizens that the king was not with the soldiers.. Lastly, a woman's dress has very little to do with her getting raped.. Women in Islamic countries are covered from head to toe and are still raped.. How do you explain that?? Simple: it is sin nurtured in man's heart that causes him to rape and lust not the length of a woman's skirt..
Awesome message. This is a message of truth and reality. It seems that a competition or a sort of walking the red carpet as people showing "flesh" and artificial hair styles in the church which is unbelievable. Can you imagine how much more that dress up be in public? Every Christian should know how to dress up .. "dress up our hearts to please God" ..not the world. Be happy, content, and be thankful for how we are created by our Loving God.
Agreed; it's happening more and more with younger women who attend church. They are dressing like church is their day time fashion show to meet men. So ladies please; show respect. ( This is a church ) not a day time night club. The other issue is; women at church need to gracefully let younger women know about dressing appropriately. If someone stepping over dress boundaries; we need to pull them aside in private and gently let them know what they are wearing isn't appropriate. Some women seem to want to draw attention by a "show off" button inside of them. They need to understand there's a "time and a place" for certain things. I've been a artist designer fashion person ever since I was in high school. You can still look beautifully stylish at church without going over board. Keep it understated, up to date and classy; without ever offending anyone. I agree: I was shocked last month at what a young 20 yr. old women was wearing. And, I SHOULD have said something to her in private. More churches need to remind everyone during announcements on Sunday mornings.
I was corrected by a church woman once around 1973. "Does your mother know you are wearing that!?". I was wearing a fitted knit wrapped top and a bias cut maxi skirt. I wonder what she thinks of church attire today!
I think this is the sermon which is long overdue. We as adults should be an example to the young people. We have a high school here where we live but the children come to church a lot of times the girls look like they forgot to put their dress on because when I was that age we used to wear a slip under our dress it was part of our underwear. These girls wear dresses that looks like it should be underwear. I think that every S D A school should have a dress code and the young people should learn to dress like the Bible says. The boys dress to come to church like they were going to a sports game.
Seventh day Adventist are the most bibilcly correct church there is of all churches that ive been to question is who understands the book of revelations better and we are all over the bible and totally about prophetic accuracy which is something everyone should know
Moving to Britain from Australia was a shock. To see older women turning up to church in jeans, sneakers, sandals and trakky pants, among other things. You are coming to meet the Creator, dress appropriately! The men and women from African countries are always dressed immaculately on the other hand.
Even in Bible study I see mothers and young daughter's attend with very short shorts and tight shirts. it's the fashion trend of today that even Christian women are of need of this word and reminded not to dress in that way. Me and my husband stopped attending because of this. We miss going to Bible study but this was just to uncomfortable for us
I've been attending church for only a little while, and I have not dressed like Pastor Doug said we should. I wore pants to church. Recently, God has been teaching me about modest apparel. Since I can't find it in the stores, I am planning on making my own dresses. The point I'm trying to make is that, no one yelled at me for my apparel, but God is giving me understanding. The Lord will also help those women with their understanding. But don't be easily offended. Love is patient. I hope you go back to Bible Study--where you can learn about loving God and loving people.
It is very sad to say and to look at our church being more and more compromised to the world. But let no our faith in God be weakened by what we see, instead we should always turn our focus on Him and alway ms direct our sight to Him and we will see less and less of others.. Why not try setting an example for them? thanks for reading...
What a blessing to watch. May God bless you pastor Doug, and bless this message. May the Holy Spirit soften the hearts of every listener and may we continue the work of preparation to meet our King on the clouds - I believe it will be very soon.
I'm sick to death of hearing, regarding sin and apostasy, that we shouldn't say anything since everyone is in a different place, and may be unconverted, so we shouldn't judge...and heaven forbid, offend anyone; that we should all just sit in silence and love each other. And that includes more than just the subject of clothing. What a bunch of bunk. I spent years and years, pretty much my entire life doing my own thing, going my own way, had nothing to do with God. However, even I know better, that when in God's house I am to dress as tastefully and modestly as if in front of the Queen or the President. God is the King of the universe and deserves far, far more respect than these earthly powers. Rest assured that if church members were invited to such places they would move heaven and earth to dress in their finest. And let's not kid ourselves, it wouldn't be jeans and frumpy house dresses. Oh yes, I've heard that excuse too, that they don't have the best. Listen, one can find the finest things at thrift stores, yard sales and the like. Yet in most of the SDA churches I've been to, people look like they're about to head to the beach/a picnic, do farm work, just got off the wagon train or climbed out of the 1800's, are carelessly/sloppily dressed. Or it's the extreme opposite: dressed like street walkers. In so doing members show God how little respect they have for Him and make countless excuses for it. Having lived so many years away from God, the lack of life experience and naivete of most SDA's astounds me. Whereas satan would have a nearly impossible time getting those like myself back onto his turf, he has the easiest time with this group, the inexperienced and bored. Bottom line: If you wouldn't wear it at the palace or the White House, don't even think about wearing it in God's House. And for the record, I don't for one second buy into "Better frumpy than fashionable for God." The loveliest fashions for men, women and children are affordable and modest. Last, those who claim to believe what EGW says, should read Discipleship Handbook, page 165, first two paragraphs. Seriously, fix yourselves up, folks, join the 21st century!
Youre right there we absolutely have no right to judge anyone but we shouldnt stay silent and mind our own business because we have the truth we carry and God tells us to share it to others, so when your brother is erring do not condemn them but staying silent is also not a choice for God will hold you accountable for any soul you havent helped just by not saying anything or by saying too much.. Say its better if we approach them and carefully tell them their wrongdoings than for God to tell them in the Judgement day
I was just saying the same thing about looking like people going to the beach or picnic. They should want to wear their best before God. I see in SDA churches spaghetti straps and flip flops and jeans. The church has become too worldly.
@@dianechapmanbettyboop I agree with you, the church really is becoming wordly even in our church its hard to tell my co youths about their wrongdoings so I just pray for them and to those whom I think can be open to me I tell them
antonio binnoc yes I agree, you can't tell much difference in Christians and people in the world and in dress and behavior. It is very sad. It is like, they don't want people to think they are strange, so they want to be like them to feel accepted. I see people on different Christian channels like this one, that curse and sound like a fool.
Great sermon Pastor D!!!! I can’t believe there are more than 100 thumbs down 👎🏼 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 What’s wrong with these humans! I’m 30 female and believe should be preached EVERYWHERE ESPECIALLY HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE!!!
As a man I agree with men need to have self control. I also agree that women should be aware of how they present themselves with their bodies especially in the ministry
Unfortunately Self control is more harder to learn that dressing modestly... it is not about blaming women cause there is no one to blame,, it is because of sin that immorality is viral nowadays
I have noticed for YEARS the dressing of women to be all too worldly, this past Sabbath I thought I was sitting by a Kardashian:-( I struggled with not wanting to judge her, not look down upon, she was younger & most "beautiful" indeed, but her clothing was short and tight fitting showing every youthful curve w/stiletto's and seemed to be loved and admired by the other members of this church I have been visiting in hopes of finding a New Home Church after having relocated...What do we as modest dressing Christians say or even do in situations such as this? do we "judge"? do we remain silent? I am so confused, we are not to desire our brother/sister to stumble, I haven't even been formally introduced to much of this church family:/ any suggestions are appreciated:-)
Exactly, I have not visited one church where I don't see this type of dress in a young lady. I try not to see or judge but how can I not when these young people go up to the podium and sing? Impossible, I think...
Don't judge the Bible says..... & there's a saying "never judge a book by its cover". How would we feel, dressed as we are, if we were standing by a group of women dressed as they were in Jesus day..... 🤔 I wonder what those women would say about our apparel?
What about women who are living in poverty and cant afford ac and are sweating all day because they are basically living outside? Is it okay for them to wear shorts and a bathing suit top so they dont have a heat stroke?

I love to wear dresses on Sunday. But I also love heels. I feel convicted when I wore pants in the past but not for doing my hair, or putting on heels. I agree we take comfort too far and dishonor ourselves there for do not respect God
I agree we should wear a nice dress before God. Women dress nicely for other functions, yet, in Gods presence, people wear Jeans or look like they are going to the beach or a picnic.
People should come to God’s house wearing the best they have while keeping modesty in mind. By doing this we are showing our utmost reverence to the most deserving God of the universe. Do not follow the example of these emergent, neo-Christian churches who thinks worship can be approached casually.
Before getting into seventh day Adventist way I used to be a part of the church of christ I was informed what would happen in the future end times stuff of sorts back in 2012 more and more people are even turning away completely or coming to find God my old school friend a agnostic is now in church 😊
I have known a young woman for awhile. She is so out there with her looks, including tattoos. I never knew she was a Pentecostal. Over the past couple years, she has been getting into drugs, and who knows what else? Then she "comes back " to her faith. She says g-d is so good. It isn't that simple, she has to earn her way back. I am not saying salvation through works, but your works should reflect your belief.
There is a thing of points of light in the sky. On judgment day, there better be some light that you put there. Why I don't believe in death bed confessions
I am glad that the pastor is preaching about what women should be wearing. Now I was wondering if he is going to be preach about women who wear pants? Because there are those women who wear pants, shorts, sandals, mini skirts to church.

Us Adventists are awesome. Especially Doug.. he speaks on very specific subjects that some other “religions” won’t talk about
this sermon should be preached in all the churches today.

Very good sermon Pastor Doug. Thank you for teaching the things that are very important, yet many church leaders shy away from because they know it's not popular!
~Dress how you want to be addressed~
I can't tell you how much more respectful people are when you dress respectably. It's simple but very powerful.
This is why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover there are a lot of homeless people living with no ac or people living in cars or RVs with no AC in hot climates and need to dress for the weather. If you watched this video so you can judge others in the comments then your life is sad. Think outside the box. The Bible says also that people will have different situations and sometimes certain things will not apply to them.
This is the BEST explanation of this subject I have ever heard. Thank you!
I was raised SDA and I think this is the best message on this topic that I have ever heard. 😳🙄🙏
If I knew what I knew then that I do now I would have never dressed sexy in my life I was a young girl I thought that was the way you were supposed to be did not teach me any of these things about dress I found my dad's pornography when I was a girl I thought that that's the way I was supposed to be dress sexy I thought that was a good thing thank God I'm not that girl anymore I don't dress that way anymore I'm thankful to God repented from doing that

Exactly how you describe it plus, there was no one to take care of the little children...Our atheist daughter was with us and it was the last time she and her brother ever came to a service with us again. We all left when the voting stuff started. There was not even a sermon. We had never been there.
@@annesimon537 They're no longer allowed to teach the 3 angels messages. Afraid of falling out of grace with the World Council of Churches ...and the govt 501c3 status. What people don't realize is that IF an organization tries to do away with the tax havens, they have to repay every dime they got a break on. That'll bust most groups. All sounded real good in the beginning. Some states here even require pastors to clear their sermons with the man ahead of time.
@@richardpotter6313 .....I'm pretty sure these politically correct ministers will have much to answer to God on judgment day...

I was cracking up instead of praying...good sermon. Thx Pastor Doug.
Yea this man is something else, wish he was my old man
It's really encouraging in these days of fashion 👍
Thank you! I'm passing this on.
Never lived in GODS love
I belonged to the world
A flower full blown
Where I was my own
I took much for granted
No lite shined on me
But its now I realize
I was too blind to see
Yes I know I'm a sinner
As dark as the nite
Don't know what's ahead
Or what's wrong or right
Whispered temptations
Keep following me
Amid the darkness of life
I heard a sweet song of love
Telling of truth and hope
Thru the glory of GOD
His saving GRACE
Is all that one needs
Now more precious
Than all my desires
I'll follow behind Him
Where ever He leads.
God bless you pastor, present truth
I agree this sermon should be preached in every church. Modesty is key to dressing for church worship and daily life of a christian. Yes, wardrobe has changed throughout the years, but just because it's in fashion does not necessarily make it church appropriate. Church is a place we go to get away from the world and its deceitful ways. Thank you Pastor Doug for this message. God bless 🙏 thanks for adding humor to your sermons 😂
AMEN!
Beautiful sermon, God bless!
Praise God for this timely message! Hallelujah!!
Amen say it love your show❤
JESUS the lamb of GOD covers our spiritual nakedness. !
This is a well needed sermon for this age. Nakedness taking over the churches,the devil is a liar. We need to stand and preach the TRUTH. The house of GOD is turning into a fashion show to distract the eyes of others. Our sole purpose is to praise the LORD not to be enticed or entertained when we go to the house of GOD. We need to rise up and take a stand the LORD is about to return.
God bless you
Amen, Thank you Pastor Doug for clarifying these simple truth. Amen!!! I find it easier to grab on to my learning a permanente way, by putting it into practice as soon as I learn it. Thank you all who help in this Ministry as well. May God bless you all richly!

Dress to impress God.
Amen and thank you Pastor Doug for this excellent sermon.
Thank you so much for this sermon. I loved it, I needed this very much. Blessings.
Praise The Lord! :)
Excellent reminder to reflect the love of our Lord Jesus in dress and manners to our fellow brethren and our heavenly angels.
Good message
Plain dress that is modest and the materials are not environmentally harmful but natural, organic and also Fairtrade ARE required by all Christians , we are not of this world and we shouldn’t follow the evil ways of the world
Links, please! Where can one buy these?
Amen brother doug
I have always felt like if we could see God on the platform our behavior would change. He is thre with us no matter if we can see him or not. If the Queen of England were to visit our church we would not attend wearing the clothing that many do. The same with behavior. We would not behave in the loose , noisey way that is done if the Queen were there. Why isn't' God reverenced at least as much as an earthly monarch? He is there with us although we cannot see Him.
My home church just finished the rebuilding. The 55yo (asian) pastor who was very tradional and always suited up, no wears tshirt and hip glasses. The church now has a STAGE instead of a pulpit. And the brightest laserlightning. Movie theaterseats, the old wooden couches are now removed. And the tastless black coffee after church is now an italianstyle type bar with nespresso and late's. A traditional 95% white church, serieus and homelike is now a club. Im a black man in The Netherlands. The church is now just like the world. And I am only 25 yet a miss normal churchlike church. So now you all know that the tradional church has been destroyed and defeated around the world. What to dooo?? Its sad.
It's sad my brother. Pray for yourself and rhe brethren. It's a sign we don't have much time left. Stand firm.
@@eidanzg put im not saved(yet)!
Church is more than a building. Focus pn meeting God and being filled with the Holy Spirit each week. If it is not Bible based truth anymore then you should find one that is.
My Brethren, God will reveal to where you need to fellowship next.
Jesus gave us the example. He was going every Sabbath to the synagogue, in which almost nobody was really converted.
Tell people to repent, if they start to hate you, change of church. If you can't, then there is no real solution. Continue to go to the same church, giving the same example.
Mat 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Go ahead! Pastor Doug, be Specific.
I agree with the sermon and the importance of modesty in dress.. However, we need to stop implying that Bathsheeba intentionally positioned herself so that David could notice her.. There is no scriptural evidence to support that.. And GOD help us if we are wrong because we would have wrongfully judged her.. She was out late at night when the men- including David- should have been at war.. While a woman should be well covered and her revealing herself is seductive, we as men have to bear responsibility for what we look at, dwell on and our subsequent actions..
Way to go pastor dough, great sermon
@Revoque Chegmester raped here. I dont belive it. He whas not a rapist David sedused here.
@Revoque Chegmester They were at war. That's why David had Uriah come back from the front so that he could have relations with Bathsheba, to cover up her pregnancy. I don't see any place in the Bible that suggests Bathsheba knew David was watching. People (men and women) need to take responsibility for their actions instead of blaming others for their bad behavior. Women should dress modestly, to glorify God and not to let men stumble, but the men need to take responsibility for acting on their bad behavior. Women shouldn't be blamed for men who rape.
I am not sure where you got your information, but Bathsheba was actually bathing in what is called a Micvah. She had just finished her monthly cycle which had made her unclean. This is a Hebrew religious ritual all Jewish women participated in. David was the one on the rooftop above the entire city. He was the guilty party whose lust controlled his decision to send messengers to "take" Bathsheba from her place and command her to come to him. Women would never be given the freedom to defy the command of the King! You need to read the chapter again in context. In Hebrew the language her depicts a rape. Bathsheba was a innocent victim to the selfish lust of David. This weakness of David plagued him through out his reign. Just count how many wives and concubines he owned. Women he chose often left him into pagan compromise. Check out his life story in completeness. the end of David's life was a result of this weakness with women.
@Revoque Chegmester Friend, first off I am a man.. My display pic is a picture of my wife.. Second, there is no scripture that says that GOD punished Bathsheeba.. You are assuming that the baby's death was a punishment to Bathsheeba.. It was clearly a punishment for David's sin.. That is why he petitioned to GOD in sackcloth on behalf of the child.. Because he recognized that the child's condition was on account of his sin..
Additionally, please re read the text prayerfully.. It was obvious that it was the first time David saw Bathsheeba bathing in a place that she normally bathes; which is a clear indication that it was not planned.. Two, David couldn't sleep and he just happened to go out on his verandah which was in an elevated position; an elevated vantage point that Bathsheeba had never been to to realize she can be seen from there.. This obviously means that Bathsheeba was bathing late at night - at a time when people should have been sleeping.. When you consider those facts it was obvious she had no intention of being seen and him seeing her was just happenstance.. Again, David should have been at war.. In David's time, Twitter and CNN was not around to notify citizens that the king was not with the soldiers.. Lastly, a woman's dress has very little to do with her getting raped.. Women in Islamic countries are covered from head to toe and are still raped.. How do you explain that?? Simple: it is sin nurtured in man's heart that causes him to rape and lust not the length of a woman's skirt..
Awesome teaching amen
Very timely message from attention to the Spirit...
Word I am blessed
So powerful, God bless you guys
thank you all for your replies this has been weighing on me for a while now
Even the Jéhovah Witnesses have had a problem with this back in 2015. Very high heels, very short and tight dresses for the younger women...
Thank God pastor for this reminder
AMEN & AMEN!
Amen, wonderful message. Thankyou pastor Doug
Awesome message. This is a message of truth and reality.
It seems that a competition or a sort of walking the red carpet as people showing "flesh" and artificial hair styles in the church which is unbelievable.
Can you imagine how much more that dress up be in public? Every Christian should know how to dress up .. "dress up our hearts to please God" ..not the world.
Be happy, content, and be thankful for how we are created by our Loving God.
THANK GOD FOR JESUS.JOHN3:16.It comforts me. Ineed him in my life daily especially inthese challenging tlmes. AMEN.
God is good 🙏🏽
Agreed; it's happening more and more with younger women who attend church. They are dressing like church is their day time fashion show to meet men. So ladies please; show respect. ( This is a church ) not a day time night club. The other issue is; women at church need to gracefully let younger women know about dressing appropriately. If someone stepping over dress boundaries; we need to pull them aside in private and gently let them know what they are wearing isn't appropriate. Some women seem to want to draw attention by a "show off" button inside of them. They need to understand there's a "time and a place" for certain things. I've been a artist designer fashion person ever since I was in high school. You can still look beautifully stylish at church without going over board. Keep it understated, up to date and classy; without ever offending anyone. I agree: I was shocked last month at what a young 20 yr. old women was wearing. And, I SHOULD have said something to her in private. More churches need to remind everyone during announcements on Sunday mornings.
I was corrected by a church woman once around 1973. "Does your mother know you are wearing that!?". I was wearing a fitted knit wrapped top and a bias cut maxi skirt. I wonder what she thinks of church attire today!
Pam W ....Agreed. Times have changed.
God bless you pastor Doug.
Appropriate message for us SDA's
I think this is the sermon which is long overdue. We as adults should be an example to the young people. We have a high school here where we live but the children come to church a lot of times the girls look like they forgot to put their dress on because when I was that age we used to wear a slip under our dress it was part of our underwear. These girls wear dresses that looks like it should be underwear. I think that every S D A school should have a dress code and the young people should learn to dress like the Bible says. The boys dress to come to church like they were going to a sports game.
Seventh day Adventist are the most bibilcly correct church there is of all churches that ive been to question is who understands the book of revelations better and we are all over the bible and totally about prophetic accuracy which is something everyone should know
Moving to Britain from Australia was a shock. To see older women turning up to church in jeans, sneakers, sandals and trakky pants, among other things. You are coming to meet the Creator, dress appropriately! The men and women from African countries are always dressed immaculately on the other hand.
Even in Bible study I see mothers and young daughter's attend with very short shorts and tight shirts. it's the fashion trend of today that even Christian women are of need of this word and reminded not to dress in that way. Me and my husband stopped attending because of this. We miss going to Bible study but this was just to uncomfortable for us
I've been attending church for only a little while, and I have not dressed like Pastor Doug said we should. I wore pants to church. Recently, God has been teaching me about modest apparel. Since I can't find it in the stores, I am planning on making my own dresses. The point I'm trying to make is that, no one yelled at me for my apparel, but God is giving me understanding. The Lord will also help those women with their understanding. But don't be easily offended. Love is patient. I hope you go back to Bible Study--where you can learn about loving God and loving people.
It is very sad to say and to look at our church being more and more compromised to the world. But let no our faith in God be weakened by what we see, instead we should always turn our focus on Him and alway ms direct our sight to Him and we will see less and less of others.. Why not try setting an example for them? thanks for reading...
Amazing! True facts!!
Big amen. I hope this message will be preached in all our churches.
What a blessing to watch. May God bless you pastor Doug, and bless this message. May the Holy Spirit soften the hearts of every listener and may we continue the work of preparation to meet our King on the clouds - I believe it will be very soon.
Thank you for your comment! May God bless and lead you in your walk with Him. - The Amazing Facts team
I'm sick to death of hearing, regarding sin and apostasy, that we shouldn't say anything since everyone is in a different place, and may be unconverted, so we shouldn't judge...and heaven forbid, offend anyone; that we should all just sit in silence and love each other. And that includes more than just the subject of clothing. What a bunch of bunk. I spent years and years, pretty much my entire life doing my own thing, going my own way, had nothing to do with God. However, even I know better, that when in God's house I am to dress as tastefully and modestly as if in front of the Queen or the President. God is the King of the universe and deserves far, far more respect than these earthly powers. Rest assured that if church members were invited to such places they would move heaven and earth to dress in their finest. And let's not kid ourselves, it wouldn't be jeans and frumpy house dresses. Oh yes, I've heard that excuse too, that they don't have the best. Listen, one can find the finest things at thrift stores, yard sales and the like. Yet in most of the SDA churches I've been to, people look like they're about to head to the beach/a picnic, do farm work, just got off the wagon train or climbed out of the 1800's, are carelessly/sloppily dressed. Or it's the extreme opposite: dressed like street walkers. In so doing members show God how little respect they have for Him and make countless excuses for it. Having lived so many years away from God, the lack of life experience and naivete of most SDA's astounds me. Whereas satan would have a nearly impossible time getting those like myself back onto his turf, he has the easiest time with this group, the inexperienced and bored. Bottom line: If you wouldn't wear it at the palace or the White House, don't even think about wearing it in God's House. And for the record, I don't for one second buy into "Better frumpy than fashionable for God." The loveliest fashions for men, women and children are affordable and modest. Last, those who claim to believe what EGW says, should read Discipleship Handbook, page 165, first two paragraphs. Seriously, fix yourselves up, folks, join the 21st century!
Youre right there we absolutely have no right to judge anyone but we shouldnt stay silent and mind our own business because we have the truth we carry and God tells us to share it to others, so when your brother is erring do not condemn them but staying silent is also not a choice for God will hold you accountable for any soul you havent helped just by not saying anything or by saying too much.. Say its better if we approach them and carefully tell them their wrongdoings than for God to tell them in the Judgement day
I was just saying the same thing about looking like people going to the beach or picnic. They should want to wear their best before God. I see in SDA churches spaghetti straps and flip flops and jeans. The church has become too worldly.
@@dianechapmanbettyboop I agree with you, the church really is becoming wordly even in our church its hard to tell my co youths about their wrongdoings so I just pray for them and to those whom I think can be open to me I tell them
antonio binnoc yes I agree, you can't tell much difference in Christians and people in the world and in dress and behavior. It is very sad. It is like, they don't want people to think they are strange, so they want to be like them to feel accepted. I see people on different Christian channels like this one, that curse and sound like a fool.
Great sermon Pastor D!!!! I can’t believe there are more than 100 thumbs down 👎🏼 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
What’s wrong with these humans! I’m 30 female and believe should be preached EVERYWHERE ESPECIALLY HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE!!!
Amen❤🙏
We need to work out own salvation by running the race looking unto Jesus how He live here in earth.
Men need to learn self control instead of ALWAYS BLAMING WOMEN for there weakness!!!!
Dutchess Eberline yes! Thank you!
As a man I agree with men need to have self control. I also agree that women should be aware of how they present themselves with their bodies especially in the ministry
Unfortunately Self control is more harder to learn that dressing modestly... it is not about blaming women cause there is no one to blame,, it is because of sin that immorality is viral nowadays
We shouldn't help their weaknesses
I am so glad you said that, I want to glorify God in my dress, thank you brother Bachelor.
Wow!
good video yess
Thank you for your teachings.
I am glad that
Amen..
That joke was funny 😄
I have noticed for YEARS the dressing of women to be all too worldly, this past Sabbath I thought I was sitting by a Kardashian:-( I struggled with not wanting to judge her, not look down upon, she was younger & most "beautiful" indeed, but her clothing was short and tight fitting showing every youthful curve w/stiletto's and seemed to be loved and admired by the other members of this church I have been visiting in hopes of finding a New Home Church after having relocated...What do we as modest dressing Christians say or even do in situations such as this? do we "judge"? do we remain silent? I am so confused, we are not to desire our brother/sister to stumble, I haven't even been formally introduced to much of this church family:/ any suggestions are appreciated:-)
Beautiful Sherman. God bless you pastor
Exactly, I have not visited one church where I don't see this type of dress in a young lady. I try not to see or judge but how can I not when these young people go up to the podium and sing? Impossible, I think...
Don't judge the Bible says..... & there's a saying
"never judge a book by its cover".
How would we feel, dressed as we are,
if we were standing by a group of women dressed as they were in Jesus day..... 🤔
I wonder what those women would say about our apparel?
What about women who are living in poverty and cant afford ac and are sweating all day because they are basically living outside? Is it okay for them to wear shorts and a bathing suit top so they dont have a heat stroke?

Amen. This was a great word of God and wisdom from a pastor. Thank you for sharing
I love to wear dresses on Sunday. But I also love heels. I feel convicted when I wore pants in the past but not for doing my hair, or putting on heels. I agree we take comfort too far and dishonor ourselves there for do not respect God
I agree we should wear a nice dress before God. Women dress nicely for other functions, yet, in Gods presence, people wear Jeans or look like they are going to the beach or a picnic.
Amen!
People should come to God’s house wearing the best they have while keeping modesty in mind. By doing this we are showing our utmost reverence to the most deserving God of the universe. Do not follow the example of these emergent, neo-Christian churches who thinks worship can be approached casually.
This sermon is very important to be preached! Can you make your notes available with the bible verses?
I love this message 🌹❤️🌹
Before getting into seventh day Adventist way I used to be a part of the church of christ I was informed what would happen in the future end times stuff of sorts back in 2012 more and more people are even turning away completely or coming to find God my old school friend a agnostic is now in church 😊
What is sad to see and say is that, wordly royalties dress modestly... with such reminders (sermons) we shall overcome in Jesus's name.
Very good sermon ..right on target
I have known a young woman for awhile. She is so out there with her looks, including tattoos. I never knew she was a Pentecostal. Over the past couple years, she has been getting into drugs, and who knows what else? Then she "comes back " to her faith. She says g-d is so good. It isn't that simple, she has to earn her way back. I am not saying salvation through works, but your works should reflect your belief.
There is a thing of points of light in the sky. On judgment day, there better be some light that you put there. Why I don't believe in death bed confessions
👍👍👍👍
I am glad that the pastor is preaching about what women should be wearing. Now I was wondering if he is going to be preach about women who wear pants? Because there are those women who wear pants, shorts, sandals, mini skirts to church.
Amen and amen.
