Thank-you! Psalm 40: 'He brought me also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock and established my goings' and put 'a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God', is quite similar also. :)

This is also how a lot of young Christians seem to think: they seem to want to use some of their skin in a God honoring text or faith message. My wife and I were talking to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 inked on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse and mine also (and I'm...

Just goes to show how rich and profitable the Spirit-inspired Scriptures are! :)

"I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved." Great verse, indeed! similarly, Hebrews 12.2 gives a comparable idea, to keep 'Looking unto Jesus'.

Thanks for your comment. Seems like a lot of Christians appreciate the opportunity to receive faith based ones these days; my wife and I talked to a young lady with the whole of John 3.16 inked on her wrist area; it was her favorite Bible verse and mine also.

2 Corinthians 5.17 is indeed a great verse! Shows just how important is the new birth (John 3).

Dear @Grams, thank-you for your post! Re the poll, you vote isn't showing (at, least, on my screen); maybe a mod. could help? Or maybe if you tried again it would register.... All votes and comments gratefully received!

The doctrine of 'priestly' celibacy has been responsible for a lot, over the centuries.

Okay... :)

@soul man For her it must be partly a way of expressing her Native American heritage; so do you know if she has been considering any more ink?

It happens one person at a time, by God's grace... :)

BTW, you mentioned your son's various tattoos; so does he have his ears pierced also? (Often with men they go together, anyway...)

PS: @Pearl The Psalms are such a broad and deep expression of the many 'seasons' of human experience that the believer can passes through.

Someone in the 18th century complained about the preaching of Methodist George Whitfield. The person with whom he spoke said: You don't believe all that, do you? The complainer replied, No, but he does. ... (Do ppl get the impression that our testimony is authentic?)

Navel gazing is, however, to be discouraged...

Sooner or later one hopes that the believer will be driven by prayer and the Scriptures.

So often the conclusion is skewed, if driven by tradition.

It's interesting that sound doctrine is what would describe the contents of Paul's faith as seen in his Epistles, and while he was strongly against circumcision as an obligation - holding that to oblige it would undermine the Gospel - he did circumcise Timothy as an act received voluntarily...

Well, thanks for your charity...by whatever definition... :) So many Christians do it, anyway, with faith related designs.

There is no rule but it is indeed a manageable number... (So many local churches are anonymous barns....so many are much much smaller...)
