I had to post this because Meagan Good, wife of a Seventh Day Adventist Pastor, responded to the your comments on my earlier post on this blog.
I must also admit that it took me a lot of consideration and consultation before posting the above pictures because its not in our policy to promote nudity.
Can you possibly believe that the 32-year old actress, Meagan Good, considers herself to be a "sexy...
Christian," and she turned heads when she walked down the BET Awards red carpet in a blue dress with a neckline that plunged all the way down to her navel. As you can see she showed as much of her body as she wanted to.
Guess what? You won't believe that she actually gave out award for the Gospel Artist of the Year in the above outfit and she even pose with her Pastor Hubby!
In defense, Meagan Good said and I quote...
"I'm not any less holy because [of] the dress I wore - I may not be who people think I should be - but I'm morphing into exactly who God wants me to be. My excuse is never 'I'm going to do me' and I don't feel that I need to make an excuse or defend what I wore ... I know I have a responsibility - and I'm working daily to fulfill the full potential of all God has created me to be," she wrote.
"A dialogue was started about my character, integrity, my walk with God and my Husband - simply based on a dress that I wore... Of course I'm going to have a reaction to people saying negative things… It's just sad... Makes me sad not regretful... My heart and spirit is always open to whatever my Father would want to share with me… And my spirit tells me to be exactly who I authentically am - because that's what's going to reach who I was authentically designed to touch... people like me who are often misunderstood and told their cut of God's promise - because they don't look the role …when God doesn't care about us 'looking the role'..."
She continued to explain how she feels saddened that her character has been called into question.
"I feel like religion can get very judgmental and a lot of people don't approach you with love," she said. "I try to be conscious of the responsibility I have as a Christian, but if I did everything everyone told me to do or tried to please everyone, I couldn't have my hair a particular way, I couldn't wear certain clothes, I couldn't play certain characters, I can't hang out with certain people, can't wear a certain amount of makeup — and you can't let people run your life. You have to look to God. People will fall in line."
"I really don't think there's anything wrong with being sexy," she also said. "God created our bodies as women. He created us to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be powerful, to be fearless — to be amazing. I do respect and understand the fact that when you come into the sanctuary, you need to be dressed appropriately because you are not the star — Jesus is the star."
Guys, there is only one question on my mind right now! Is there too much pressure on Christian women like Meagan Good to meet a standard?

Tessy, I told you this woman and her husband should be questioned. If as a man and pastor and he cannot caution his wife in the way she dressed then he's not fit to be call a man of God. Period!
She's defending herself and her husband is standing by her side, what will they say if all the members of his church start wearing more revealing dress that is worst than this?
@bimpe, what do you expect? Husband will not have mouth to caution or correct the members again and the wife will feel insecure when she start seeing half dressed ladies alone in her husband's office!
Abi now. This woman is sent to destroy her husband's calling if truly he's called of God.
Her husband's ministry is suffering while she's using her nudity to promote her modeling business. Why won't big magzine company call her? They are already calling her, but her hubby, who will invite him to his church to minister. He better wake up b4 its too late.
She's gaining international publicity and fame. But what is her pastor husband getting?
I look at her and I see no difference between her and shakira or beyonce.
Oga o. Wetin we no go see for this obodo oyinbo? God pls come quickly o before things get out of hand
Tessy, she's the one putting pressure on herself. She knows how she should dress. She knew what not to wear as a pastor's wife, but she just want to be a star gracing vogue magzine. She knows why she's wear rubbish dressees and her husband knows to.

She's not looking sexy as she think she is. She's looking like one of them thaat belong to the world
Pls tessy stop posting Christian women with nudity on this blog. Do u want to corrupt our mind

Pls Tessy no delete my comment o cos naa u ask for my opinion o
