Our ladies are doing a book study and the other day the book stated that the great cloud of witnesses were watching us. I disagreed.

Just today I saw one article of Christian author saying that all sort of necklaces, ear rings, lip stick, etc. is sinful yet I remember seeing another article where it was saying that the bride was adorned while marrying. Could you please provide Biblical verses and wholesome comments?
