God created us for the purpose to live according to His word, that is why it is written, "God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us new people so that we would spend our lives doing the good things He already planned for us to do”. Ephesians 2:10.
Woman's clothes.
The word of God teaches and discipline us to dress how to wear for a woman. “ln like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety: not with broided hair, or gold,or costly array" . 1Timothy 2: 9. Wearing a short dress or a transparent dresses is to dishonor yourself, God and community. Similarly, dresses that show the nature and shapes of the body, are not values not pleasing God. Also exposing some parts of the body, bleaching the skin by removing color which is a natural color of body that God had been created, shaving eyebrows and painting hair lashes or hair attachment (artificial hair) is an offensive to God.
Bleaching your skin, wearing short and transparent dresses or hair attachment (artificial hair) is to do things which is different from God’s way who had created you. Is the same as to say that God was created you wrongly. This is not right to criticize your Creator thereby, He is great and he does not make mistakes all the time. "Look at these people! They arguing with the one who made them. Look at them argue with me. They are like pieces of clay from a broken pot. Clay does not say to the one molding it, man, what are you doing? Things that are made don't have the power to question to the one who makes them. I made the earth, and I created the people on it. I used my own hands to make skies. And I command all the armies in the skies". Isaiah 45: 9,12. We can not teach God or question him in his creation because it is written, " And God saw everything that He had made and behold it was very good ... ". Genesis 1: 31.
Wearing such dress is to mislead our children who are our the future nation. Normally children have the tendency to learn by what they see from us whether it's good or bad. So we should wear the decent clothes which camouflages our body and hide all areas of the body. Our body should not required to be exposed. For example you can not say God looks the spiritual things and He does not look our physical appearance. This is not advisable to say so because Jesus taught the scribes and Pharisees, they should clean the inside of a cup and outside become clean.
In these words it mean that is the same to say that you can clean inside and outside remain to be dirty, but both outside and inside should be clean. "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For Trash out of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and intemperance. Thou blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup, that the outside also will be clean ". Matthew 23: 25,26.

Man's clothes.
The man should wear a decent clothes which camouflages body and this are values according to God's word. He should not imitate the manner of this world and dress incorrectly, wearing the trouser at the middle (hanging) of the buttocks and sometimes leaving the chest open, this does not please God. "Now, brothers, I beseech you, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world; but would be sold by the renewing of your mind, that ye may know the will of God, what is good, pleasing to Him, and what's perfect". Romans 12: 1,2.
Singing before God.
When we worship God either when we praise, singing or playing, we need to know we're in front of a great God who is worthy to be feared and respected with all mankind. "Let all the earth fear the Lord: let all inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him”. Psalm 33: 8. God is not mocked the same to compared him to children when they are playing with toys as they will. Similarly, we can not please our God by singing and playing in the manner of this world.
This does not please God and His Word, "Remove the noise of your songs; because I do not want to hear the sound of your harps. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty waters ". Amos 5: 23,24. It is good to you who know God to understand how to worship in a way that it is pleasing His sight. He has given His word which discipline us on how to worship and sing in a good manner, doing this you are pleasing Him. It is written, 'Worship the Lord in the beauty and holiness, fear before him, all the earth". Psalm 96: 9.
For example, when conducting a gospel meeting by singing and dancing the rhythm music which sound like that of the world in order people who do not believe can believe in Jesus is the same and can be attracted and believe. To do so isn't correct, but is to insult the name of Lord as if He has no power to save his people. Doing this is a sin, if you will not repent you will be judged. "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin" James 4:17. God saves his people using his word and not a man who attract people by singing and playing the music of this world.
Singing and dancing.
Singing and dancing is acceptable to God by using instruments. "Praise him with trumpet sound; Praise for auction and harp; Praise him with tambourine and dancing; Praise him with stringed instruments and flute; Praise him with resounding cymbals. Every one given by inspiration and praise the Lord. Hallelujah! ". Psalm 150: 3-6.
