@Faithbuilders Well, you must know about the varying views of your family members, anyway. Recently, above, @Mantis was talking about his former work as a tattoo artist, anyhow. My wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; it was her favorite...

@Mantis I guess wood can make a good background for something like this. You often see in Christian bookstores, etc., painted texts on wooden backgrounds.

@Mantis A pity you didn't keep it, but then you did help a charity...

@Faithbuilders Yes, well, pursuing prayer and the Scriptures is never wrong advice... :)

@Heart2Soul Reading and meditating on Psalms like that is very wholesome and helpful...

Great Psalm there!

PS: A lot of men and women get skull tattoos, but this is artwork on a skull itself! :)

@Mantis Prayer and the Scriptures are indeed the best of remedies for us all...

@MatthewG It might have been thought years ago somewhat rough as an image to have both slashed jeans or tattoos, but today serious-minded Christians - perhaps especially women - sometimes have both; both would be simply regarded as widespread customs that are benign.

@MatthewG You are right that faith is the key, as per Hebrews 11.6. We have been going through Hebrews 11 recently in our Bible study...

@soul man They say that necessity is the mother of invention... But for the believer, the filial instinct is to cry Abba, Father (Romans 8)...

@amadeus I think Ephesians is among the most searching and sublime of the Epistles...

@amadeus Thanks for the 'like'; it is indeed refreshing when serious-minded young women are strongly committed to Scripture as opposed to human comment upon it.

@amadeus Seems like your prayers for your daughter were indeed answered! :)

@JohnPaul Glad your job seems to be going better now. Keep looking up! I do think that when a young couple are really smitten, a trip to the town hall is good (it doesn't have to be a flamboyant religious ceremony) before the guy reaches for a pack of condoms, anyway.

@Pearl May the Lord graciously answer your prayers on his behalf...

A: Afghanistan (You're right; sometimes the names in an atlas are like a revolving door...)

@Pearl It's interesting anyway that the Jewish Sabbath does not reoccur in the NT as regards the moral content of the 10 Commandments. Hebrews 7 also shows that the law was changed (v. 12) and what we now have is better than the law (v. 19). So maybe your son got his ink done after your...

@Pearl One thing which applies to everyone, whether or not it is admitted: the Lord showers daily mercies (Lamentations 3.23) on everyone.
