Re: "At our church, there are several with tatts, including several middle aged women Haha! Touche! So I rephrase the question, why are we preaching AGAINST tattoos? Is it really that important an issue?

Re: "At our church, there are several with tatts, including several middle aged women Why are we preaching AGAINST anyone? :chin

Have you ever heard of the author/preacher Tim Keller? He has a book out called The Reason for God It's a pretty interesting and quick read if you want to maybe give it a look. If not, that's fine.

There's never a bad time to praise God for changing your life. God bless you. :)

Re: "At our church, there are several with tatts, including several middle aged women This is slightly different because it was purely meant as an identification between peoples (which isn't or wasn't always the purpose of tattoos), but what about circumcision? Purely a physical act of altering...

Re: "At our church, there are several with tatts, including several middle aged women I'm surprised there is so much backlash over such a superficial topic... :bigfrown

Just an update: We've gone through the first actual week, and the first three Bible lessons have gone great! I've gotten a couple compliments from some volunteers that help at the center, and from the directors of the center on the Bible portion. BUT most importantly, the kids are REALLY...

A friend and I are trying to memorize the first 4 chapters of John (motivation from an article we read about how to memorize big chunks of Scripture) and the main thing you're supposed to do is listen to the whole thing AT LEAST once a day. So with my study Bible online thing...I go to that...

Again, Job pops into my mind here. The man lost everything, was sick, and just had a downright crummy quality of life for a while. But he ultimately kept the faith and was rewarded for his loyalty to God. We may not know God's way of doing things, but constantly need to remind ourselves that He...

Father as you know, one of your children is in some serious pain right now and scared that she might have an MRSA infection. Regardless of what is plaguing her right now, please provide comfort and ease her pain. Amen.

Well the song starts out talking about a woman, so it does not COMPLETELY relate to me, but if you substitute "her, she, girl, etc." with "his, him, he, guy, etc." then the lyrics really match up with my life...if you take it as Mat singing to God...and I really like it. :yes...

Not a problem. I'm glad it helped. :)

Oh I see. It's not a problem. Thanks for referencing it to me.

In regards to the passage? I didn't know what "yw" meant in your post.

Thank you farouk. And I sure am trying to get better at regular Bible reading and prayer.

As I'm sure you all know, either through experience or hearing it from somewhere, college is a place of very high tolerance. Campuses (at least all that I know of), are areas of free speech and this has led to many clubs and protests being done for causes such as the gay rights, among others. As...

I saw that. Thank you.

I always took that as... "the hypocrites" choose to proclaim their prayers in public, seeking public attention for their works. Jesus says: "They have received their reward." The get what they are searching for (public attention) and nothing greater.. But if you truly pray to God in the...

I understand that the stretch may not be as noticeable on a place like the ribcage as opposed to the bicep, or maybe chest, but aside from that, I would just like to be set in my general body size before I get a tattoo. I know I have a lot of bulking up to do yet, so I'll make sure to try it...

Farouk, Honestly I haven't, because I think it is a long way off haha. I am a VERY skinny man at the moment, mostly due to a really fast metabolism; I know I'll probably never be fat, but I'm kind of waiting for the metabolism slows down and I grow into my form a bit more...before getting a...
