@Taken Another similar idea is found in John 14.6 as regards the Lord Jesus as The Way.

@Taken To make a general point, all the young ppl with Bible verses tattooed with whom I have spoken seem to have had them done as witness tools. Seeing as the Bible verse tattoos likely result in regular conversations with ppl, I would reckon that whenever these occur they would feel rather...

@Taken I think it's interesting that John 16.33 indicates that the Lord Jesus has overcome the world in which we shall have tribulation................. (this is the tribulation principle......)

@Taken I think Ephesians 2 - the opening - shows human mortality and the need for regeneration.............

@Taken Great verse from Joshua 24 there.............. :)

@Rita It's also a wide assumption that every believer does not smoke.....etc.

@Mantis I guess for now you haven't really seen the need to apply your conservative thinking to the fact that among many states the whole process of tattoo regulation differs quite considerably.... FYI: Legal status of tattooing in the United States - Wikipedia

@Mantis John 14:27

@Mantis Thanks.........So as somewhat of an expert of the tattoo scene, do you as someone with a conservative outlook for example think that in some states the tattoo industry is somewhat over-regulated?

@Mantis Interesting comments. So to look at one example of government at work - let's say in the regulation of tattoos: across the US, the way tattooing is regulated differs considerably at a state level. Some states regulate tattooing rather closely. Other states have a more hand off...

@Rita What ppl outside North America don't always understand is that as a continent North America has always had extremes of temperature and that it is a seasonal feature. (The British Isles, on the other hand, often has a year-round temperate climate....)

@Rita (scrolled back) Yes, definitely sounds like it will be a 'bonding' experience...right?

@Rita Oh so the experience of doing the tattoo will be rather like 'sister bonding', then......

@Rita I find that unless there is a large keyboard in front of me, it's really hard to type on a small, hand-held device........... (Man with big fingers, I suppose; you ladies are sometimes much more dexterous on computers.....)

@dhh712 Here's another good - and similar quote; this time from Job 13.15: "Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him".

Years ago I remember hearing a series of sermons on the 'blessed' man of Psalm 1, etc. Thanks for the contrib......

@dhh712 Here's a good verse also, which encourages me: "And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God." (1 Samuel 30.6)

@Rita Interesting how David in Psalm 73.17 said it was 'Until I went into the sanctuary of God' that proved to be how his viewpoint was altered.

Hi @Wynona It's interesting that "prayers" were one of the things that the early believers continued steadfastly in, as recorded in Acts 2.42, together with the Apostles' doctrine, fellowship and the breaking of bread. Perhaps spending time with the Lord in prayer in a steadfast way provides...
