@Willie T , HERE are some details that I pulled out of that passage...

And when we get to Heaven, we all get a new name! “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who...

I have benefited from vaccines, generally, so I advocate for them, as a method. But they are produced by fallible people, so not every vaccine is a winner. My children have had a bad reaction to two or three of them that were changed in the early 1980s, so we avoid that family of vaccines. They...

I am pro-vax. I got all of mine (and then some, in the military), with no problems. Two or three of them were changed in the early 1980s that my children had a bad reaction to. We avoid those kind while we await their safe/ethical replacements, but have gotten the rest of them. Opening to THAT...

I was going to write one about Peter Piper (of Poughkeepsie), but I can't think of what he might do...?

Othniel = "force of God" or "compelled by God"

I think it needs to be consistent with one's call or, least, not interfere with it. I travel in circles (artistic & intellectual, for example) where a blatant evangelical tattoo would put people on the defensive before I could ever open my mouth. Without such a tattoo, I can connect as a bona...

"Something nice" is pretty low-bar.

There are too many variables to be certain of that.

It doesn't mean that they are. Tattoos & piercings (beyond ears & nose) are not exempt from that admonition. And I think that sense of self-restraint only improves as we cede more of our heart's territory to the Holy Spirit. He promised to write His Law on our hearts. I think that as He does...

I would tend to agree with simple designs. Both motives may be present in more elaborate designs. I am reminded of another verse that speaks to outward adornment, "Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the...
