Christians often get hung up on what women ought to wear and miss God’s grand design for clothing.

From Genesis to Revelation, a unified thread unfolds that teaches us what clothing means. In Beyond Modesty, Scott Brown traces the biblical theology of clothing from Adam and Eve in the Garden to the white-robed saints in Revelation.

Here’s what you’ll learn—God designed clothing to:

- Cover shame
- Conceal nakedness
- Display beauty
- Symbolize purity
- Show the distinctiveness of men and women, and
- Picture the righteousness of Christ

At its core, clothing speaks to the very nature of mankind’s sin and God’s work to clothe sinners in His righteous robes.

Scott Brown's charge to believers is this: Avoid becoming prideful modesty police on the one hand and victims of the fashion industry on the other—and humbly dress in a way that honors Christ.

"I beseech you in the Lord Jesus, make every day more and more of Christ, and try your growth in
the grace of God, and what ground ye win daily on corruption; for travellers are day by day, either advancing further on, and nearer home, or else they go not right about to compass their journey." (Samuel Rutherford)

"Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God." (1 Peter 4:1-2)

Should Christians lose?

This is a common misconception about the Christian life, but Michael Clary explains why this is actually unbiblical.

In our latest podcast episode, Scott Brown and Jason Dohm are joined by pastor Michael Clary to discuss his new book, Loser Theology: Why the Weak Will Not Inherit the Earth.

Their challenge to Christians — especially young men: Don’t fear failure, but take dominion for God’s glory and pursue lives of courageous action.

How does the Bible command us to worship as a church?

We don't practice family-integrated worship just because it's the historical pattern for the church, or because we agree with it.

We practice family-integrated worship because it is the pattern that God demonstrates throughout Scripture.

In the latest episode of 'A Reasonable Response', Robert Bosley makes the biblical case for families worshiping together in the local church and challenges the modern practice of routinely separating children from their parents during corporate worship.

Bring your children into the church.

Teach them that corporate worship and prayer, fellowship with the local church, and listening to the preaching of God's Word are just as important for them as for you.

Welcome them into the church service. Teach them how to engage. And raise the next generation of bold and faithful Christians.

WARNING: Your life depends on how you listen to this!

How do you listen to the preaching of the Word of God? You should listen like your life depends on it, because it does.

The preaching of God's Word is one of the greatest means by which we are kept 'on track' in our walk with the Lord.

So listen like your life depends on it.
