But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the Lord sees not as a man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.
—1 Samuel 16:7

MODESTY: BE MAGNIFICENT & BEAUTIFUL!
Every summer as temperatures rise, the question of modesty is addressed. Yes--SSB has a dress code. The expectation is for all of us to present ourselves in a way that is acceptable to God. Recognizing that standards vary in our culture, we emphasize the concept of biblical modesty, rather than adhere to specific measurements. We are all created uniquely, in the image of God.
Think of it this way: how might you glorify God in how you conduct yourself and in what you wear? God created young men to magnify His glory! Can His character be seen through skinny jeans and muscle shirts? What about young women? God created each of you to be beautiful. We see God's beauty epitomized in nature and creativity. How might you be the same?
God knows our spiritual condition by our hearts, but we initially see only the physical body and how it is attired. We believe the way we dress is important and needs to be appropriate for the occasion. It can affect our behavior and play a part in who we become.
Dress in a way that pleases the Lord. Cover your body appropriately.
