Are we getting used to sin, or are we 'christianising' that which we used to call worldliness?
My sister-in-law partially lives with us. She comes home to us after school and goes back to her brother at night. The holidays are almost over - so, we still have our relatives and in-laws with us.
She is a teenager. She walked in today and was sharing something with me. After the message she departed. I suddenly noticed her skirt was a bit high up her body, and the regions from her knees and down to her feet were seen. It wasn't too bad, anyway.
Several years ago no female (even non-christians) wore such skirts, or mini/short skirts were not worn - unless the person is loose. No christian wore that in church. In fact, women used to cover their entire legs. Long skirts were common. You don't reveal your cleavage, your arms are completely (probably) covered.

No female christian wears extremely long skirts today (except very few who are thought are insufferable bores). The regions below the knees are now seen today. People think it is okay, but when you wear extremely long skirts you're seen as a masquerade or a geek. You are oldfashioned. You would be laughed at.
In some churches in those days(perhaps in all churches), women were not allowed to wear make-up. You don't wear lipstick. People who wore red lipstick were seen as whores. Women never wore necklaces and bangles to church (it was not allowed in my church in those days - however people wear them today). No fixing of nails, no painting of nails. No weavons, no attachment - a particular hairdo was allowed. You easily notice a christian sister/brother
Today, people wear red lipstick, fix long nails and paint them, wear weavons and attachment, jewelery etc.
You can perm your hair today, retouch it, fry it, bake it, roast it, boil it
...

In churches men had their own seats and women had theirs (it was not a law in my church that women and men should sit separately - couples/people kind of did it unconsciously, or whatever). A man rarely sopke to a woman; a woman rarely spoke to a man. Sisters mind sisters' stuff and brothers mind brothers' stuff - and you nearly don't laugh in church.
Today, we mix up with the opposite sex (you can sit wherever you like).
How do you view these changes? What would you call these changes? Hypocrisy? Is it a sin? Are we getting modernised in the Lord.
