@Jennifer Rogers Here is a passage from Hebrews chapter 1:1-4: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds...

@Lambano 1 Peter 1 shows that the new birth is via the operation of the Word of God itself; it must not be artificially simulated by human methods and heavy manipulation.

@BarnyFife While some ppl seem somehow to relish giving young ppl with Bible verses/ref.s tattooed a hard time; but I certainly wouldn't...........

@BarnyFife "The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms" (Deuteronomy 33.22).

@BarnyFife It happened with me because grace overtook me, even when I was in my sins (Ephesians 2: 'But God, Who is rich in mercy....')

@Rita Yes, keep reading the Scriptures, right? as Ephesians says, it's the 'washing of water by the word'.

@Eternally Grateful It means, dip.....

@Lambano I do think ear piercing is all part of growing up, among young ppl. Including among young men. Best for parents of young ppl to focus on them having it done safely and cleanly, rather than trying to fight it.

@Heart2Soul Plenty of preachers' wives and daughters have pierced ears, as it happens. It's so often a straightforward, birthday event. At the small local church where we attend a number of the young men /boys wear earrings also. (They evidently have birthdays also, LOL.) The wise thing for...

@Heart2Soul Sometimes reading the Word itself can focus the mind.....and is a healthy pursuit indeed...

It's good to concentrate on what is actually revealed in Scripture.

@WalterandDebbie The Incarnation is indeed a glorious doctrine (John 1.14).

@Ziggy Some good thoughts there.... "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called" (Ephesians 4.1).

@michaelvpardo Paul seems to be saying, Why go back to the types and shadows when fullness of revelation is now unfolded to us in Christ?

@michaelvpardo Some ppl might be ashamed of their ink; others - like you say - are not ashamed of it, but it all happened so long ago that they have moved on, so to speak; maybe @2 Chr. 34:19 in what she says is in that category.... 2 Chr. 34:19 said: ↑ Sometimes it may simply indicate a...

Hi @michaelvpardo Sorry, but the typeface in the OP is rather small to read, at least, for some of us...

@michaelvpardo Great Psalm there; ties in with John 4 and the water 'springing up into everlasting life' in John 4, spoken of by the Lord Jesus to the woman at Sychar's well.

@soul man Being thin skinned is natural; but an antidote for the believer is to consider the One Who in patience and humility willingly went to the cross, being obedient unto death (Philippians 2).

Great passage there in John 10.
