So many people dream of playing for the Tar Heels of North Carolina, the Duke Blue Devils, and the Kentucky Wildcats. Teams that are rich in tradition have the facilities, the following, and the exposure to stay on top for decades and many young men dream of putting on those jerseys while playing AAU ball and high school basketball. They want their names to go down in history as being a part of these storied programs. Stephen Curry also held that dream. His father had excelled in the NBA and he dreamed of going to an ACC school or an ...
Answer: We live in a physical world with its four known space-time dimensions of length, width, height (or depth) and time. However, God dwells in a different dimension—the spirit realm—beyond the perception of our physical senses. It’s not that God isn’t real; it’s a matter of His not being limited by the physical laws and dimensions that govern our world (Isaiah 57:15). Knowing that “God is spirit” (John 4:24), what is His relationship to time?In Psalm 90:4, Moses used a simple yet profound analogy in describing the timelessness of God: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day ...
As the world looks in on Christianity today, they are looking for honesty and for sincerity. Too often, what they have found is hypocrisy in those who profess to be followers of Christ. As a new generation of bands hits the forefront in Christianity today, we are seeing a transparency that has never been seen before. MIKESCHAIR is one band who is definitely not afraid to openly discuss who they are, hoping that in their journey with the Lord, others may relate and come to know Him as well. MIKESCHAIR formed while they were students at Belmont University. The Lord has ...
A few weeks ago, I took a silent retreat into the North Carolina wilderness to get alone with God and to allow him to speak to my heart. I took a copy of 1 cd on my ipod, Heaven and Earth which is Phil Wickham’s latest album that releases on November 17. God spoke to me in many ways through scripture but He allowed Phil’s music to bring me to a point of true worship. I sat down with Phil this morning to talk a little bit about who he is, his career and what inspires his songwriting abilities. History Q- Give ...
He played for himself at the beginning of his career. His goal was to win and sharing the infield with Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker meant that winning was something that would happen often. He had an opportunity of a lifetime coming up with the Tigers but a few years after his debut, he began to see the game of baseball and the people surrounding him in an entirely different way. God opened his heart and his eyes to see things that way that God sees them, not just for what they can do, but for who they are. Travis Fryman ...

We browsed the Web and posted the most original Christian Ink we could find. You got better? Email me pics of your tattoo and we will feature the best in v.2 of “Top Christian Tattoos”. If your tatt has a story behind it, we would love to know that too!

I’m curious about what you guys think about how God commanded us in Leviticus 19:28 ‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD.
Now, I’m really not down on tattoo’s. I personally have 5 and really like the ink on this page. Once I got saved I had a few people ask me if I still felt the need to get tats. I was told to look up the meaning of tattoo’s and I found out that it basically was a pagan tradition.
I know we’re under grace now and I eat pork. Again I’m not down on tats at all, just curious what you guys though about that.
Thanks,

Hey Billy-

Check this website out. This should help you with any questions.
Those who are not down with tats often misquote this verse (along with many verses intended to prove their OWN meanings and purposes, not God’s). It’s about the semantics of this verse, and read properly, it does not condemn those with a tattoo or those who get tattoos.

I know exactly which scripture your talking about and I as well struggled with the same thing. However if you read the two scriptures following it says not to eat red meat as well as don’t cut your hair. And that has been my biggest argument with people who are so full of “religion” and not full of of Jesus. God looks at our hearts not the clothes, hair style, or even tattoos. He is looking for a generation of people who are going to seek his face. After that he will work out our own kinks in our lives.
I actually know this guy who owns 2 tattoo shop’s and he wins more people to Christ through that shop than I have seen anyone win. Seriously he uses it has his ministry. At first that blew my mind, but God can use anything. Regardless of what you look like.

In revelation it says that Jesus will return with the tribes of Israel tatted on his thigh. So at some point, now or later tat’s are legit. Drinking blood and eating flesh were also pagan traditions, but Jesus used the image as our consuming of him and our following of him. Peace to ya
