Oh maann!!!  I just got me a short hair cut. My hair was hip long! You should have told me before.😫

Atleast I can change my clothes and fully cover myself with my new Christmas hoodies & "Trousers" and Pjs. Thanks!!

 

Don't forget the Santa hat!

Hi @Gracejj You don't have to look like GI Jane to have a manageable -even  minimalist - bob....

Matthew 7:21-23

21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

You are right brother!! But one must ask what is the will of Father in the context of above Scriptures?  

It is important to let the Bible interpret the Bible.

If you study the Bible, you will see that the will of the Father is that you believe in the One Whom He has sent and receive eternal life. Jesus said, “For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day” (John 6:40 ).

@Gracejj Faith in Christ and His finished work at the Cross is the key, not the supposed merit of works righteousness. Plenty of Scripture for this.

"Nothing in my hand I bring / Simply to Thy Cross I cling..."

@Gracejj

Well, actually, some Christians really regret not having a faith-based tattoo.

I am a born again Christian and I do have a tattoo. Would love to put a picture but it says eternal but the T is a cross.Having always admired tattoos when asked where mine was I was tired of always saying i did not have one. The conversation always ended. Now that I have one I do have conversations. I talk about how everyone is eternal in their soul, and it matters how we treat people. How we have to consider heaven and hell may come into the conversation

Shalom, @Gracejj.

Yes! And, John said,

1 John 3:18-23 (KJV)

18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. 19 And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him. 20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things. 21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, [then] have we confidence toward God. 22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.

God said, 

Leviticus 19:28 (KJV)

28 "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD."

The real problem with a tattoo is that THINGS CHANGE and a tattoo is more permanent. We should be growing in the Lord all the time, and we should NOT lock something on our skin that we might feel otherwise later on as we grow! Anytime a fallible person adds his or her 2 cents worth into the mix, he or she adds the POTENTIAL FOR ERROR! Sometimes, it's as simple as an innocent spelling error; sometimes it's a THEOLOGICAL error! Sometimes, it's a SCRIPTURAL error! It's best not to do it at all; just leave the skin of one's flesh as clean as when God made it.

Some see Isaiah 44.5 as referring in a positive way as referring to something resembling what now might be called a tattoo.
