...whereas the Lord Jesus 'humbled himself...' (Philippians 2).

@soul man Yes, and a lot of Christians, instead of fighting it, embrace it instead and receive faith based designs that become really useful talking points.

@soul man Good to be able to encourage one another.

@Pearl I'm sure this is true.

@VictoryinJesus This is a great verse! :) Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father; There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not; As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be. [Chorus] Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by...

@Taken It's how it goes. Sometimes the family pressurizes...and then it rebounds on them...

@VictoryinJesus Anyway, one needs to remember seriously that today tattoo parlors are where so many who have artistic flair find an outlet in wide demand for their skills; and as a profession it's also opened up now greatly to women, hasn't it?

@Heart2Soul It might vary a bit but I agree that if they are going to do it, then 18 is a sensible age to do it for the first time. And do it they do...don't they? :)

@Taken It's a bit like that now, I reckon, not so much for the money, but I've told my wife that if I have another heart attack I don't want to go to the hospital in the current climate: better to rest at home with meds than to go into an atmosphere with lots of viruses and infections and be...

@Nancy I like @Prayer Warrior's screen name. Yes, it's a vital ministry. I do love Spurgeon.

I take your point; of course, some ppl could say that there is a lot of violence in the OT, but it's the spiritual context that is important.

PS: @2 Chr. 34:19 I love John Greenleaf Whittier's verse: "Drop Thy sweet dews of quietness Till all our strivings cease. Take from our souls the strain and stress And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace, The beauty of Thy peace."

@2 Chr. 34:19 Tattoo documentaries & series; some have amazing artwork; but I won't get too off topic. Philippians 4.8 is such a wholesome exhortation to focus on what's good and wholesome that we would do well sometimes just to let our finger twitch to turn off the TV and instead open our...
