 I was almost convinced to get one nearly 40 years ago; so glad I didn't.

Hi @BornAgain490

As opposed maybe to 40 years ago when it was more of a military/biker thing, today the most conservative of ppl get them.

Not a few tattoos would readily provide faith-based talking points to the most genteel and conservative wearers wanting to have such conversations.

Hi @Aimes Back a bit "I have a small tattoo on my wrist and plan to get another".

FYI, did you see the poll, above?

Hi @Joshua-777 back I have a question. I have a foot long scorpion on my back that relates to a horoscope and a worldly band name I got before i was really walking with the Lord. I want to get a cross covering the band name

It's not unusual for tattoo cover-ups to be obtained after a person's thorough change of convictions by God's grace.

For example, a woman with the name of a non-Christian ex-bf tattooed (e.g., "BILL") might well choose to have a good tattoo artist change the "BILL" to read "BIBLE" instead, reflecting her new-found faith and convictions.

(Some would think it bordering on the cruel for legalists to try to guilt-manipulate her to have the name of her non-Christian ex-bf visible for the rest of her life.)

On the other thread someone tried to post a probably photoshopped picture of a child with a tattoo; not appropriate (reported).

Getting a tattoo - faith-based or not - is an adult activity, to be carefully planned, if pursued.

It's widespread, but getting an ink-up really does have to be a well established adult wish:

I have not asked anyone about this to know.

Hi @Hopefully Some Christians do indeed want their tattoos to be talking points; and some indeed do not; quite right that everyone deals with it individually.

Blessings.

@farouk I find this entire post very unusual. Many pushed pages. What is your intent? Surely you have made your point by now? What goal are you trying to reach?

Hi; I guess I was emphasizing and agreeing with your last post.

(So we move on to other things....)

Blessings.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
