Appropriate Christian Correction

 

 

"Put some clothes on!"

"Cover it up!"

"You look like a (insert insulting term here)."

"Here you go . . . " *proceeds to place a towel, a sheet, or something concealing over that woman's or that girl's body part(s), without permission, because they are wearing something revealing*.

Please . . . STOP DOING THOSE THINGS! I assure you, if your goal is to encourage someone to dress modestly (honoring God's Word), to uplift someone and help to build up their self-esteem, to encourage them to value their personality and their very essence more, or to inspire them to embrace and love their inner beauty and to make sure that others seek to do so as well: you might do the very opposite of those beautiful things because of your unloving, hurtful behavior! In fact, you might even push that girl or that woman away from going to church, and even away from Jesus Christ. Behaving and speaking in such insensitive, rude, and holier-than-thou manners, you are more likely to do more harm than good.

Correct and Incorrect Approach:

I am someone who is both open to correction and willing to learn. In fact, most people are—if your approach is done lovingly (even if it is sternly) and correctly. Lately, so many people have expressed being hurt and offended by people who proclaim to be Christian. I can relate. Yes, I am a Christian. There will be no Christian-bashing! In fact, everything will be stemming from a place of love—God's love! God has placed it on my heart to address the issue of how we as Christians judge each other, and also the affects of being wrongfully judged. I will be sharing a few of my own personal experiences.

In my teens and in my early twenties, I dressed really revealing. One day, a woman of God (who really did care about me and love me) pretty much yelled at me about how revealing I had been dressing. She had received a warning from God for her to deliver to me: She warned me that something bad would happen to me if I did not change how I was dressing, as, unbeknownst to me, men had been looking at me as prey. (The insinuation was that I would be sexually assaulted. Please note: You are never to blame for sexual assault. The point was that I was being preyed upon and those particular predators were drawn to my attire. In hindsight, I am thankful for her warning.) Although the warning and rebuke were from God, I could not recognize them as being so—all because of her approach and delivery.

Yelling a revelation at me regarding my physical appearance was not effective because I was already so used to people misjudging me: People would judge me solely based on my attire, my physical appearance in general, my bubbly personality (assuming I was "fake"), my confidence (assuming I must be arrogant); and some people would even admit to wrongfully judging me. For example, they would say things like, "I thought you were going to be conceited, but you're really nice!" Also, guys would assume that I was open to fornicating because I dressed revealing—just to find out that I am celibate until marriage.

I was not walking with Jesus Christ the way I am now, so it was not as easy for me to recognize God's voice and revelations as His voice and revelations. So, He assigned her to warn me, but because her delivery was not as it should have been—gentle—God had to go other routes to get His message across to me. Yes, I eventually changed how I was choosing to present myself. Over time and patiently, God changed me from the inside, out. (You can read my testimony here, pictures included: "The Mind and Attire Connection.")

We will briefly stay on the topic of revealing attire to further drive the point of gentle correction.

There was a sweet teen girl who had been dressing pretty revealing to church. Before we continue on: Yes, we are to dress modestly, this includes in every place of worship (1 Timothy 2: 8-10). However, please see what God's Word says about His love for us and how we should treat each other (as, after all, Jesus is our example):

37 However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them. 38 For I have come down from heaven to do the will of God who sent me, not to do my own will. 39 And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day. 40 For it is my Father’s will that all who see his Son and believe in him should have eternal life. I will raise them up at the last day.”

-John 6:37-40

This sweet young lady continued to come to church. However, the way people were speaking to her was hurtful, and their efforts to get her to dress more modestly, at least to church, were not too successful. Plus, what they did not know is that she did not have much and that she did not know much about modest fashions. At times, I noticed that she would try her best to dress more modestly.

Some people are so quick to see a person's faults, that they miss their possible best efforts and progress. Sometimes, a person can really be trying their best to do a thing, but the moment someone puts them down instead of uplifting them, edifying them, or complimenting them, they can automatically feel as if they have failed. Take the time to notice someone's efforts to grow! Take the time to notice a person's progress! Don't be so self-righteous! You might cause someone to feel unwelcome, not good enough, or even worse—not loved by God! We as "Christians" (which means "Christ-like") are supposed to be representatives of Christ!

The Holy Spirit led me to speak to her privately and lovingly, and in a quiet place. He led me with what He wanted me to say to her. Instantly, she began to dress modestly to church! Even outside of church at times! Praise God! God gave her understanding and expressed His love. Kindness and love go a long way.

Follow God's example:

8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful,

    slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.

9 He will not constantly accuse us,

    nor remain angry forever.

-Psalm 103:8-9

Love. Gentleness. Patience.  We move forward.

Did You Try to Understand Them?

Next, let's discuss misunderstanding each other, and then not trying to understand each other's actions, words, or works for the LORD.

I had someone misunderstand my thoughts and my intentions behind my sharing some of my modeling photos. Here's what I had on:

They took one look at my photo shoot and, shortly after, threw a hint at me via this scripture:

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised.

 

-Proverbs 31:30 

I assume they thought I was being arrogant—but little did they know that the photos I had posted were to encourage women to dress more modestly! God had assigned me to do the following:

God wanted [to use] me to encourage modesty in women. He wanted me to model a transitional look (meaning, a look that was familiar to a more worldly look, except entirely modest)—but for the purpose of inspiring women who dress immodestly like I once did, to dress more modestly. (You cannot just throw a loose fitting, fully concealing outfit at a woman and say "cover it up!" or call her an unkind name and expect her to respect you! Trust me, I know! In essence, I have had those things done to me, and it absolutely did not work.) God wanted me to model the fashion myself, post past and present photos, and share my experiences in a blog about how immodestly I once dressed; and he wanted me to share why He changed me and how He changed me—from the inside, out.

When this person seen the whole picture—GOD'S mission for me—they changed their behavior toward me.

Your Disagreeing Does Not Equal Their Unrighteousness:

Humbly said, I honestly do not care about what people think about me, as I understand that I am not validated or authenticated by anyone but GOD; and as long as I am doing God's will, in every way, I am content. However, the LORD is leading me to share this, so I will.

Some people might not agree with the style of music that God has assigned me to produce, as it either does not always have the traditional "Gospel" or "Contemporary Christian" music sound, or it just does not fit their taste or what they are used to listening to or worshipping along with. Why do we sometimes put God and how He works in a box?

I say these things very humbly and giving all glory to God: It was GOD Who gave me the ability to produce my own music. It was GOD Who gave me the lyrics. It was GOD Who gave me the vocal ability and stretched my vocal range in one day (by miracle) to sing a certain song on my gospel album. It was GOD Who assigned me the style that He assigned me. It was GOD Who sent the opportunity literally knocking at my home door to put my music on the radio to reach who all HE wanted His music to reach! It was GOD who instructed me to make my gospel album free to download, so that anyone who needed those lyrics and songs can access them with no problem! It was all GOD. What does all this mean? If GOD has no problem with His child's work, neither should you. God's ways will not always make sense to us:

33 Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge!

How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!

34 For who can know the Lord’s thoughts?

    Who knows enough to give him advice?

35 And who has given him so much

    that he needs to pay it back?

36 For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen.

-Romans 11:33-36

What most people do not know is that, these days, every work that I do and every word that I share for the LORD (including this very blog post), I do and share prayerfully. I seek GOD'S will, not my own.

God has made it very clear to me that not everyone listens to Gospel or Contemporary Christian music—and God lovingly desires to reach those people as well! Look at what Jesus said:

 

27 Later, as Jesus left the town, he saw a tax collector named Levi sitting at his tax collector’s booth. “Follow me and be my disciple,” Jesus said to him. 28 So Levi got up, left everything, and followed him.

29 Later, Levi held a banquet in his home with Jesus as the guest of honor. Many of Levi’s fellow tax collectors and other guests also ate with them. 30 But the Pharisees and their teachers of religious law complained bitterly to Jesus’ disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with such scum?”

31 Jesus answered them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. 32 I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners and need to repent.”

-Luke 5:27-32

I must share this, and I say this with a humble heart: I recently had someone express to me that they would listen to Christian music more if there were more music out there that reached them how the music God has given me to share does. This is what God wants! I have not conformed to the ways of the world, I have just followed the leading of the Holy Spirit and worked how HE wants me to work, and GOD did the rest. However, people rarely get to see or hear behind-the-scenes conversations like this.

How We Can Do Better as Christians and Be Edifying Instead of Condescending:

How can we improve and be the most loving Christians we could possibly be? Here is another important question: How can we recognize when someone is not a true Christian and is, instead, a wolf in sheep's clothing? To make things as simple as possible, I will speak in first person, on behalf of anyone who has ever been wrongfully judged or misunderstood. I will also speak to those who wrongfully judge and do not at least try to understand others:

—My walk with Jesus Christ will not look exactly like your walk with Jesus Christ.

—Your lack of understanding in what God has called me to do does not equal my being unrighteousness, a fence-straddler, or backslidden.

—Just because you find my works for God questionable (or not your taste), that does not mean that God did not assign me to do it.

—Your lack of understanding in my Christian walk does not mean that you are wiser, more righteous, or holier than I am.

—I am not at all perfect, but God loves me, and He uses me how HE wants to use me, for HIS glory. I am not here to please man—I am here to please GOD. However, I am here to love you, and as God calls us to do, I do love you.

10 Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God.

If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.

-Galatians 1:10

If you have an issue with something a sister or brother in Christ has done for the LORD, instead of automatically deeming them unrighteousness, judging them, assuming the worst about them, or talking about them behind their back, please do the following:

—First, humble yourself.

—Ask God about their words or deeds. The Holy Spirit has all the answers; and He will either help you to lovingly deal with them, He will lovingly deal with you and your behavior, or God will deal with them Himself.

—Talk to them. (Do not throw hints! That could lead to confusion; and even agitation, sadness, irritation, or anger!) They may be willing to explain their words or work, what God has called them to do, and why He has called them to do it that way.

—If you feel led to do so, pray for them.

If your idea of righteousness hurts innocent people, turns people away from Jesus Christ, or keeps people away from Jesus Christ—then you have some praying, reevaluating, and some self-evaluating to do; and changes through Jesus Christ need to occur.

Remind yourself of what God calls us to do: Love one another (John 13:34-35). Remind yourself of what love looks like:

4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

-1 Corinthians 13:4-7

You can righteously judge me. You can correct me when I need correction. You can kindly and respectfully ask me about the words or works that I share for the LORD. You can even rebuke me if God leads you to do so. However, you absolutely cannot just critique *MY PERSONAL WALK WITH JESUS CHRIST* and think that I will find that okay. There is only one God, and I only worship my Heavenly Father.

For the record: This is not a personal shot at anyone who has done these things to me. I love and forgive all. God is just leading me to bring attention to this less-than-loving behavior, even if it is unintentionally done. We need to be aware as well as self-aware. Let’s work on how we deal with each other. Be humble and do all things in love.

If You Have Ever Been Hurt by People Who Call Themselves Christians:

First of all, I am so sorry. I totally understand how you feel. I have been too. However, please understand that it hurts God too to see you hurting. He loves us so much. Please understand that not all Christians will hurt you. Please understand that Christians are not perfect; we all make mistakes. This is so very important: Please do not blame God for the choices and mistakes of man; we all have free will and we choose how we treat each other. God is good and loving. Please also understand and always remember this: Not everyone who calls himself or herself a "Christian" is actually a Christian! God's Word says this:

The Tree and Its Fruit:

15 “Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves. 16 You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act. Can you pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can’t produce good fruit. 19 So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. 20 Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.

-Matthew 7:15-20

Be True Disciples:

21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’

-Matthew 7:21-23

Warning About How We Judge Each Other:

 

1 “Do not judge others, and you will not be judged. 2 For you will be treated as you treat others. The standard you use in judging is the standard by which you will be judged.

3 “And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? 4 How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.

12 “Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

-Matthew 7:1-5 and verse 12

This is What God Approves:

 

23 Again I say, don’t get involved in foolish, ignorant arguments that only start fights. 24 A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but must be kind to everyone, be able to teach, and be patient with difficult people. 25 Gently instruct those who oppose the truth. Perhaps God will change those people’s hearts, and they will learn the truth. 26 Then they will come to their senses and escape from the devil’s trap. For they have been held captive by him to do whatever he wants.

-2 Timothy 2:23-26

Conclusion:

May the LORD bless you all abundantly. I love you all, but God loves you best of all. Let's love each other more!

From God, To Me, To You

In Service to The LORD

Love Always,

Charrese Monique

A Little Something Extra:

21 Then Peter came to him and asked, “Lord, how often should I forgive someone who sins against me? Seven times?”

22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven!

-Matthew 18:21-22

Always forgive. Forgiving does not make a person's wrongs right—it makes you right with the LORD.

My Public Apology

My Public Apology:

       Hello all! First of all, thank you so much for all of your support, love, and kindness over the years! I truly appreciate you! There has been some new-ness going on in my life, and there are some things that I would like to express from my heart. So, here it goes!


       In the past, (including in old photos, music videos, and Youtube videos) you seen parts of the old me. God has made, and is still making, changes within me. I sincerely apologize for showing too much up top, for wearing dresses and skirts that were simply too short, and for wearing shirts and tops that bared so much skin. My attire was lustful: I was not providing a good example, especially for your children, and I am sure that I caused people to stumble.


       As a Christian woman (who was not walking with Jesus Christ back then the way I should have been), I did not always properly represent God. Having said that: I also sincerely apologize if I have ever caused any confusion within any of you about God, Christians in general, or Christianity. Please do not allow my personal mistakes to alter your thoughts and feelings about all Christians or God; it was me who misrepresented Jesus Christ, and it was me who made my mistakes—and now, I am correcting my wrongs. I do not say this arrogantly at all: I sincerely apologize if I caused anyone to stumble into having lustful thoughts.


       I apologize for at times carrying myself in ways that was contradictory to who I truly am as a woman, as a lady, and spiritually as a child of God. Again, that could certainly cause spiritual confusion for some of you, and if I caused confusion for any of you, again, I truly apologize.


       God had me to realize that it is not about, "I don't care about what people think about me," and it is not about, "People should not judge me anyways! They should accept me for me!" It has nothing to do with those truths. However, here is the relevant truth: No matter how much you verbally and actively express your love for God, how much you love God, or how good your heart is—people can be thrown off by presentation!  As a Christian woman, and as a woman in general, I need to present myself with virtue, self-respect, modesty, integrity, and wisdom. I am a loving person. However, I need to remember that part of loving others also means that I need to demonstrate my love for others by not causing them to stumble. I need to love everyone with the love of Jesus Christ. Part of a Christian's mission is to share with everyone God's love, the gospel of Jesus Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit. I realize that some people will not see my God-loving spirit past my lustful, revealing attire, and I truly understand this. Their souls are much more important than me trying to be "Miss Sexy." I want my OUTSIDE to reflect who I am INSIDE, and this is what God, you, and I can expect from now on, and I am happy about these changes! Praise God! :)


       I am human, just like all of you. So, in the past, I did not always make the best decisions, including when it came to how I dressed. Though my attire was not super revealing, it still was not the most appropriate for a lady, especially a lady of God. I did not change to please man: I chose to make these wonderful changes to please GOD, so that I could walk in my purpose with my fullest potential (without the distractions of lustfulness and the confusion it caused), to be loving toward others by not causing them to stumble; and to improve myself as a Christian, woman, and human being.


       I never want to be a part of anyone's (especially a child's) corruption. There is always a bigger picture. When you are in front of anyone, especially in the public eye in any way, people are watching, and people can be influenced by you. There is so much corruption out there in the world—and I do not want to be a part of it, in any way.


       I've already begun the process of either removing old videos and photos or making them unavailable. If God leads me to make any more changes, respectfully, I will. 


       Below is something God placed on my heart to write. This explains some of why I am so happy with these positive changes! Giving ALL the Glory to God, may these words be a blessing to everyone who reads this! :)

"The Impact We Have on Children":


       Every now and then, a little girl will say to me, "I want to be just like you," "I want to look like you," "I want to dress like you," and so on. (I say all of this humbly.)  My first reactions are to smile, thank that child, but then tell them that they are beautiful and encourage them to feel good about the person who God has created them to be. My next reactions lie within my thoughts: I would think to myself, "Why me?" and "I didn't know she paid that much attention to me." There came a point in my life where I would also feel guilty after hearing those girls' comments. (I will elaborate on that in a bit.)


       Why am I telling you this? It is not at all to brag! I am telling you this because I never realized how much of an impact I/we could (and do) have on our children—even when we are doing the most simplest of things.


       I had been spending time with a pre-teen girl (like a big sister), as her mother knew me and liked my character and felt that I was a good example for her daughter. At a certain point, I began to pay extra close attention to how much she watched me. I noticed something: She watched everything I did:

—How I did my makeup (I caught her looking at me through a reflection).

—How I dressed.

—How I interacted with people. (This includes how I responded to men when they would try to "talk" to me.)

—What kind of conversations I would be willing to have. (She tested me to see if I would participate in gossip with her, but I did not, as I do not gossip.)

—What my interests are.

—How I feel about God and my Christian walk.


       One day, this young girl expressed to me that she wanted to wear tighter clothes. She said to me, "When I get older, I want to dress kind of like you." She smiled at me in admiration. She also had a look on her face that revealed to me that she had a hope within her that I would be happy with her words. That is where some of the guilt lies. By that time, I had already ditched my mid-drifts and the shorter dresses and skirts I once wore—but my clothing were still not as modest as they should have been. My cleavage was still showing, and my skirts and dresses could still stand to be a bit longer (and roomier because I could hardly walk at times). After that, I began to watch how I dressed when spending time with the youth.


       Am I saying change your whole world and who you are? No. What I am saying is this: We need to be more aware of and cautious about how we present ourselves, how we speak, what we watch (on T.V. or the internet), what we listen to, how we interact with others, and so on, when around our children. Our children are the future!


       When I am around a youth, I now ask myself: "Do I come off lady-like around her/him?" I no longer watch T.V., but when I watch a movie, when I am on Youtube, or when I am viewing my social media, I ask myself "What am I watching in front of her/him? Is this safe for them to watch? Do my choices of entertainment provide a bad example for them? Is my even being entertained by my particular choices of entertainment in itself providing a bad example for her/him?" When I interact with people around a child, I ask myself, "Am I representing a true woman of God correctly?" It is about self-awareness and consideration for the life and soul of another human being. Also, remember this: It is not just about what we choose to do around our children, but it is also about what we choose to not do around our children that could make a difference in a child's life.


       It must be mentioned that you can also influence a child of the opposite gender of you! We need to be good examples for all children! For example, if a man has a daughter, he should be an example for her of how a man should treat a woman. How is he treating and speaking to women around his daughter? That little girl is watching. The same example goes for women who have sons. A woman should teach her son how a woman should be treated, not just by her words, but also by her own actions, and by what she allows and condones in her life. By the way, a child does not have to be your child for them to follow your lead!


       Children remember. Children understand a lot more than we think they do, or give them credit for. Children are curious. Children are impressionable. Children sometimes mimic what we do, how we dress, and what we say. We should all be mindful and aware. Whether you know it or even like it or not—there is always someone connected to your life. It is a domino effect. 

*THERE IS ENOUGH CORRUPTION OUT THERE IN THE WORLD—DO NOT BE A PART OF THE CORRUPTION.*

Conclusion:


       It is important to take note of this: God is not asking us to be "fake" around certain people or the youth. If we are truly seeking to be and practicing being the best children of God, human beings, and examples that we can possibly be—then there is no need to pretend to be anything. Let God's Word, His love, His instructions, and the true definition of love (1 Corinthians 13:4-7), all become a real part of who you are.


       Please, continue to trust in The Lord, Jesus Christ! Get to know God personally, for yourself, by reading His Holy Word! I promise you, it will change your life, in the best ways possible! In God's will is the most loving place you could ever be! Keep smiling! Have Faith! Laugh! Love! Forgive! Cherish one another! Love one another! Remember that God's will for you is perfect! You have purpose—it is the reason why you exist! I love you all, but God loves you best of all! May God bless you all abundantly! ♥



With Love and Service to Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
Thank You for Your Time
Love Always,
Charrese Monique


P.S. My apology is not me condemning anyone. It is truly just me sincerely apologizing, sharing with you all the valuable life lessons that God has taught me, and sharing all else that God has placed on my heart to share with you—as I am led by the LORD. If something here speaks to you personally or touches your heart, do not ignore that! Please pray about it! God knows how to reach you and answer you in ways that He knows you will not miss! 

       Also, in the video below, my face is a little swollen. I was once on too many medications for Ulcerative Colitis (a condition I was born with) and its extra-intestinal manifestations, and I also once had an unhealthy diet that caused inflammation; but God got me off of those meds and guided me to eat healthy (praise God!) and my body was in the process of getting to a healthy state. (Praise God again!)

For more about my journey to modesty, please read:

"The Mind and Attire Connection."

Uplifting Message and Word of  The Day:

       It is beautiful to have confidence (a humble confidence). It is definitely okay to want to feel beautiful or look beautiful. It is also nice to want to get dressed up, do your hair, and be admired by a special someone. However, you must remember this: Your character, your inner being, your heart, your spirit, your mind, and the final destination of your soul--are all to be focused on as well as worked on! They are all to be of high importance (your soul being priority) and cherished--by you and anyone who enters your life. Never neglect your personality, the awareness of how you make others feel, or the effect and influence that you certainly do have on others.

       Cherish selflessness, love for others, love for who God has created you to be, virtue, and most importantly, God and having reverence for Him and His Word.

³ Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

⁴ But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

-1 Peter 3:3-4 (KJV)

 

With God's blessing, I will share this next version for a more in depth translation. 

 

³ Your adornment must not be merely external—braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; ⁴ but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God.

-1 Peter 3:3-4 (NASB)
