@GodsGrace : In John 15, the Lord Jesus is speaking about fruit bearing: we need to abide in the vine to bear fruit. In John 10, the Lord Jesus is speaking about salvation: for the truly born again, their security is based on the inalienable unity between God the Father and God the Son: "My...

@GodsGrace Before the actual moment when the machine finally started injecting the ink, it was probably a combination of another tattooee's satisfied recommendation plus your London friend's checking out and receiving quotes from 2 or 3 artists before she felt "ready" with the comfort level to...

@GodsGrace I love the verse at Philippians 1.6:"He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ'. What an assuring blessing for all God's born, again, pilgrim people!

@WalterandDebbie A good and challenging exhortation there.....

@Ziggy Often a cult is by definition a group which has unScriptural ideas about the Person and work of Christ.
