Course Description
Some of the most important issues in
the Christian faith are also some of the most difficult to teach. This
is true for a few reasons:
- The Holy Spirit must have
the leading role in any teaching/learning relationship.
- Rote memorization of
Scripture or reading massive amounts on a subject that is
essentially a spiritual matter puts the student at risk for bloating
up with head knowledge. This can result in an illusion of spiritual
progress when, in fact, it has put her in danger of merely being
“puffed up” with the pride of her intellectual accomplishments.
- Leading a student through
truth without lapsing into legalism and lists of “do’s and don’ts,”
and yet addressing the subject in a way that opens her eyes to the
specifics of the issue, can be like nailing gelatin to the wall.
- It can be difficult to
help people understand that certain issues that are not necessarily
part of the Ten Commandments can be just as crucial to faith and
practice.
And yet, it is also true that we
certainly understand immodesty when we see it. In its most
disconcerting form, it walks down the stairs in one’s own home on its
way to school or to be with her friends, and we realize that we have
been remiss in this important area of instruction.
Are we too late? No. Our adolescents
are uneasy about not knowing what the limits are. In spite of the
demeanor that they, at times, present to us, they are secretly relieved
when we offer them opportunity, not only through the limits we set, but
also through the information that we make available to them.
This course on Christian Feminine
Modesty is such an opportunity. Using Scripture, Biblical characters,
and some plain talk about the world in which we live, it presents
clarity on an obscure issue. Issues are dealt with sensitively, but
forthrightly.
A special bonus is the segment on the
conscience. And yet nowhere in the lessons will you find a list of that
which is acceptable and unacceptable in this area. The ultimate goal is
for the young woman to use the tools that it provides to forge her own
convictions in this area.
