    Four Types of Love
      Phileo: love which speaks of “affectionate regard, or friendship,” usually between best friends.
      Agape: This love keeps on loving even when the one being loved is unresponsive, unkind, unlovable, and unworthy. It is unconditional. Agape is used by Christians to express the unconditional love of God for his creation. No matter their faults.
      Storge: is a natural affection or a natural obligation. Like a love that exists between parents and kids.
      Eros: is an erotic love, it is a love that is based on sexual passion.

      Scriptures Referenced

      1 Corinthians 10:31Luke 16:13James 4:4-51 John 2:152 Corinthians 6:17Ephesians 5:5-7Ephesians 5:8–111 Corinthians 15:58Matthew 12:30Titus 2:11–15

      Guidelines
        Will what we are wearing, doing or saying bring God glory?(1 Corinthians 10:31; Exodus 28:40,43; Isaiah 61:3)
        Does what we are wearing meet or exceed God’s standard for being modest (Genesis 3:21; Exodus 20:26; 28:40-43)?
        Will our clothing, speech or actions help or hurt my influence for Christ (Romans 13:10; 15:3; Philippians 2:3,4)?
        Is our clothing too short? Sit down, cross your legs, bend over, squat down, reach up. At any time, does the garment reveal any of your leg above your knees?
          (Remember what Exodus 28:42 taught, even exposing the thighs was considered nakedness to GOD).
          With tops and blouses, is your midriff showing at any time (Genesis 3:21)?
          Is our clothing too tight? Are we revealing the form of our bodies which highlights or emphasizes sexuality, thus tantalizing, enticing or tempting others to have impure thoughts?(Matthew. 18:7; Galatians 5:19)
          Is the neckline too low? Remember that God covered Adam and Eve from the top of their shoulders to the bottom of their thighs.
            Bend over – what can you see?
            Sit….What can be seen while looking down at you.
            Keep in mind that God made sure His priests were appropriately covered in every situation while performing their duties.
            Can our skin or undergarments be seen through our outer clothing?
              Peter was considered naked while wearing only his undergarments in John 21:7.
              Is what we are wearing appropriate and respectful?(Genesis 41:14; Matthew 22:11-14)
              Because of how we dress act or speak, would someone mistake us for a worldly individual?(Proverbs 7:10; Genesis 38:15)
              Is our apparel, actions or speech stating that we are pure and holy, or objects of desire by others?
              Will our apparel, actions or speech cause someone to lust after us, thus causing others to stumble and sin?(Romans 14:13; 1 Corinthians 8:9; Matthew 5:27-28)

                                    God hears and provides for the faithful.

                                    God’s power over man’s life is in God’s words.

                                  Our church family here is a loving, close-knit group of Christians trying our best to live for Christ. We’re not perfect, of course, but we’re striving each day to let God’s Word be our guide for everything we do—in everyday life, at work, at school, at church. . . everywhere. Many of us come from different backgrounds, and we work in various fields, but we share a common love for Jesus Christ and His church and look for opportunities to share that love with others.
