Over here they hardly seem to know about the instant variety...

Sounds good, indeed...

@Acolyte PS: You said something on the other thread about smiling... :)

Perhaps the answer is in Romans 8.32: "He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"

In the end it's not all about what us wrong with error, but what - most blessedly - is the truth? with a view to cleaving to it, forsaking error, and adorning the doctrines of our Lord and Saviour (Titus 2.10).

Do you think that as well as the sense of joy of getting inked with a witness Scripture design, there's these days also another aspect? While years ago it was very much a man thing relating to sailors and bikers, yet nowadays so many ppl from all walks of life - more women even than men, now...

Psalm 55.22: "Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved."

@firstthings1st. PS: It really used to be a man thing years ago; although now in North America more women do it than men; somewhere it said that 59%-70% or more of parlor clients are female. I suppose the urge to do it is a bit like smoking, that we were talking about; some ppl really strongly...

Doctrine and practice should come together seamlessly in a faithful local church. :)

I do think Acts 2.41-42 is a great example of what local church activities should be.

@firstthings1st. PS: You used the phrase hunger and thirst; I guess that Ms. D just never hungered and thirsted for the cigarettes, that's all. Some ppl don't; some ppl certainly do.

PS: @MetalMike: I guess your experience with your cousin goes to prove just how effective a faith based tattoo design can be as a witness conversation-starter. My wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on her wrist area; she told me it was her favorite Bible verse...
