One of the most controversial topics that I write about as a fundamentalist Bible preacher is modesty. God knows that I mean no unkindness or disrespect to anyone, sincerely. I simply believe that the good LORD intended for women to be feminine, which means dressing modestly, carrying herself like a proper lady, and possessing a calm spirit of humility and sweetness at all times. Sadly, the typical image of the American woman today is not pleasant.
I have tremendous admiration and respect for Amish ladies, who wouldn't ever even consider putting on a pair of pants. I speak to the shame of most Baptist females today who wear pants:
How does Amish beliefs and Biblical emphasis on modesty compare to shameful American women in churches today who wear pants, Spandex, shorts and other immodest attire in public? Call me what you will, God is on my side. Psalms 118:6, “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”
The religious significance of Amish Clothing is deeply connected to the beliefs and values that guide Amish life. For Amish people, clothing is much more than something worn every day. It serves as a visible expression of faith, humility, and obedience to God. Every garment reflects religious principles that have been passed down through generations. Rather than following fashion trends, Amish communities choose clothing that supports their spiritual commitment and cultural identity. As a result, clothing becomes an important part of their religious practice and daily life. [emphasis added] READ MORE

I have been wickedly shunned, ridiculed, censured, mistreated, despised, belittled; even I and my wife kicked out of Family Baptist in Pensacola in June of 2025 over my Bible preaching against women wearing pants. The pastor's wife wears pants and they (not me) took issue with my article, “Why A Christian Lady Ought Not Wear Pants.” Such is the life of a faithful Bible preacher who tells THE TRUTH. The Apostle Paul experienced the same persecution and rejection from churchgoers for telling THE TRUTH. Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”
Here again is more helpful information about why Amish women dress modestly...
How Faith Influences Amish Clothing
Faith shapes nearly every aspect of Amish life, including how people dress. Clothing choices are guided by religious teachings that encourage modesty, simplicity, and humility. Within Amish communities, the religious significance of Amish Clothing can be seen in the way garments are designed to avoid drawing attention.
Amish people believe that outward appearance should reflect inner faith rather than personal style. Because of this, clothing remains simple and practical. This approach helps individuals focus on spiritual growth instead of material possessions or social status. [emphasis added] READ MORE
I find it disturbing that the Amish have higher Biblical moral values than over 95% of today's evangelical communities. I speak particularly to my own camp of Baptists. American culture today is not in the same orbit as Biblical morality, integrity and decency. Sadly, over 95% of professed Christian females today have sinfully adopted perverse American culture instead of following the inspired Word of God concerning morality, dress and decency.
To hear the pastor of a church defend women wearing pants in public, and hear him foolishly wrest the inspired Scripture in a wicked attempt to justify immodesty, is unimaginably evil. Evil is planned sin. Whenever a female puts on a pair of pants, knowing that immodesty and lust are sinful, she is doing evil. ...
1st Peter 2:11-12, “Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.”
Whereas the inspired Holy Bible calls fleshly lusts a “war against the soul,” today's ungodly pastors and pastor's wives make light of modesty, justifying immodesty under the excuse of having liberty in Christ. I have been called many disparaging names over the years, particularly of being a “legalist.” In theology a legalist is someone who adds works to grace, which I have not done.
Sadly, today's wicked army of neo-evangelical churches have all but totally abandoned Biblical separation from the world and false teachers.
Today's Worldly Foolish Pastors
Last year a local cocky younger Baptist pastor in Pensacola condemned my Bible preaching against women wearing pants. He insisted that his wife wears pants and she loves Jesus as much as any religious woman. I kindly told him that I completely disagreed, and that my wife demonstrates her love for Jesus by the long dresses she has faithfully worn all her life. What saith the Scripture? John 14:15, “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” The old adage is very true: Your talk talks and your walk talks, but your walk talks louder than your talk talks.
According to that henpecked errant local pastor, the inspired King James Bible doesn't forbid Christian women wearing pants. He contends that God's command for Christian ladies to wear “modest apparel” in 1st Timothy 2:9-10 somehow permits his wife to wear sexy pants in public. Kindly said, I think his denial of the truth is wicked and shameful.
1st Timothy 2:9-10, “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.”
As Amish ladies fully understand, the clothing that a female wears conveys a message to those who see her. Does a pair of pants on a women convey modesty? You are a dishonest person and not right with God if you think it does. There is no way that pants could ever made made modest on a woman, and any honest person knows it. I am so sick and tired of immature, backslidden, carnally-minded, ungodly religious people trying to justify pants on females. I am a much despised and criticized Bible preacher for my stand against women wearing pants. I am not against the women; I am against them wearing pants in public.
Isaiah 1:4-6, “Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward. Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; but wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: they have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.”
