Subject: TATTOOS....yea or nay?? |
Bible Note: Hank: Thank you for one of the best presented notes on Tattoos I have evere read. I kwow a dear man, my spiritual father, who is now 82. He was a pastor for more than 40 years. However, while unsaved in the US Navy durring World War Two he got a tattoo of a unclothed woman on his arm. When he became a Christian he was un able to find a Doctor back then to remove it, as he was quite ashamed of it. So he took a electric grinder to his arm! The scar still left some "parts" showing he felt should be kept hidden. Until 1985 he wore longsleve shirts. He had three daughters and they never saw his arm until 1985 when he had more cosmetic surgery done. His arm looks like he was badly burned. Today he wares short sleves, and the shame is gone, but the scars remain. One stupid act done in a drunken moment can bare a life time of pain. I can't help but think sin is much like a tattoo in that even though Christ may forgive our sin, the consequences may well last the rest of our life. That is an awsome thought, that we need to keep in our hearts. Blessings to you. justme |
