FACT: What We Wear Reveals to the World Our Heart May 21, 2026 by Tammy Roesch Posted in Dress, Practical Christianity Tagged Christian Dress, Modesty, Worldliness #image_title FACT: What we wear, reveals to the world, the condition of our heart. Sometimes in order to make a point, you have to take the point to the extreme, before people get the point you are trying to make. Shocked in The Smokies ~ Al & I were rather shocked this week as we were hiking up one of The Smokey Mountain trails. A man roughly 50 years old, was coming down the mountain, dressed very similar to the man in this picture. The only difference is this guy looks like he’s fooling around, and the guy we met, wasn’t wearing it to be funny and make people laugh. He was wearing it because that was HIM. I don’t know of any normal woman who wouldn’t be creeped out if she were to meet a man alone on a lonely mountain trail, dressed like the guy we met. Our Clothes Show Our Heart & Mind What we wear speaks VOLUMES about where our heart and our mind is at. If we wear clothes that are obviously very expensive and showy, what message are we giving to the world? We are telling the world that we are very wealthy. If we wear clothes that are seductive and immodest, we are telling the world that we are ADVERTISING and that we don’t have much SELF-RESPECT. If we wear clothes and contraptions like this man, we are telling the world that our MIND IS IN THE GUTTER, and that LOW, PERVERTED SEXUAL THOUGHTS is what we dwell on. The clothes we wear are a REVEALER of our hearts & minds. The Question We Should Always Ask, As Christians ~ As Christians, we should always ask ourselves ~ “Am I giving a right representation of Christianity by the clothes I am wearing?” What Our Clothes Should Tell About Us ~ Our clothes should reflect that we are HAPPY, ORGANIZED, MODEST and PRACTICAL. • People who wear DARK CLOTHES all the time, are not typically HAPPY people. That doesn’t mean we should wear FLAMBOYANT clothes, not at all. As Christians, we shouldn’t wear clothes that attract people to US. Our clothes should REFLECT our relationship with Jesus. • Our clothes should complement each other ~ We shouldn’t wear a striped shirt with plaid pants. That reveals disorganized thoughts. • Modesty should be paramount. Christians will never wear immodest clothes that cause others to think sinful thoughts by looking at them. • Our clothes should be practical for whatever the occasion is that we are attending, whether it be Church, School, Work, a Race, Cleaning the Barn, Climbing a Tree, a Wedding, etc. We should wear clothes that are PRACTICAL and that show RESPECT for the Occasion. First Impressions Mean Everything ~ Yes, it’s important WHAT we wear. FIRST IMPRESSIONS mean a lot, a whole lot. If you were blessed by this read, we think you will enjoy this one, too.
