This is from Truth2Freedom’s Blog:
The Old Testament law commanded the Israelites, “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28). So, even though believers today are not under the Old Testament law (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:23-25; Ephesians 2:15), the fact that there was a command against tattoos should raise some questions. The New Testament does not say anything about whether or not a believer should get a tattoo.
In relation to tattoos and body piercings, a good test is to determine whether we can honestly, in good conscience, ask God to bless and use that particular activity for His own good purposes. “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). The New Testament does not command against tattoos or body piercings, but it also does not give us any reason to believe God would have us get tattoos or body piercings.
An important scriptural principle on issues the Bible does not specifically address is if there is room for doubt whether it pleases God, then it is best not to engage in that activity. Romans 14:23 reminds us that anything that does not come from faith is sin. We need to remember that our bodies, as well as our souls, have been redeemed and belong to God. Although 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 does not directly apply to tattoos or body piercings, it does give us a principle: “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.” This great truth should have a real bearing on what we do and where we go with our bodies. If our bodies belong to God, we should make sure we have His clear “permission” before we “mark them up” with tattoos or body piercings.
What about body piercing, tattoos, and the like? Although tattoos were at one time symbols of rebellion found on the bodies of prison inmates and motorcycle gangs, these skin markings have now gone mainstream. The present mantra is that the human body is a canvas on which can be painted anything one pleases. We live in a sadistic, rebellious culture that wants to show that it can despoil the body. The early church was right when it saw tattoos as a desecration of the body. In the Old Testament we read, “ ‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord’ ” (Leviticus 19:28).
Can a body covered with tattoos glorify God? Some young people, who thought the answer to that question might be yes, are changing their minds. One young woman I met said, “I’d give anything to have these tattoos removed, but they are permanent, and I had them done before I was saved. Now when I look at them, they are a reminder of my past life, which has been forgiven. I see them as my ‘marks of grace.’ ” Yes, they can become marks of grace.
Women have worn earrings from earliest times. But today, we not only have earrings for men, but nose rings, lip rings, and navel rings. Never mind that tongue rings have been known to put poisons into the bloodstream and create grooves on teeth. Recently on the radio I heard a report about a Nebraska boy who holds the record for body piercing; the total, I think, was 135.
It is not my intention to make a definitive yes or no statement about these modern trends. It is, however, my express intention to say that today’s emphasis on appearance and the lengths to which people are willing to go to be noticed are signs that our culture’s values have drifted far from the security that comes from knowing God and submitting to His ownership.[1]

This is from the blog Red Sky in the Morning:
Pope Francis called Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border “un-Christian.” That’s rich, coming from him. The Vatican is a walled city state!
The current situation in beleaguered Europe shows us why nations need borders. German Cabinet Official Gerd Muller said only 10% of the migrants have arrived from the Middle East and Africa. “Eight to ten million migrants are still on the way.” He slammed the European Union for failing to control the crisis, saying the border-free Schengen zone has “collapsed.”
The Schengen Agreement was signed by ten European nations in 1985, removing Europe’s borders. At the same time, multiculturalism was being imposed through immigration. Do “ism’s” ever work?
Along with multiculturalism came political correctness. No-one’s allowed to report on the multicultural elephant in the room. Or the Islamic camel’s nose in the tent.
Of the million strong migrants that arrived in 2015, how many of them are genuine refugees?
What is going to be done to protect the culture and the European people? Boundaries are there for a reason – whether national or personal.
Boundaries are good, and they’re God ordained. It is written “From one man God made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. “ Acts 17:26
In the next verse we read “so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.” Acts 17:27
Even atheist China saw the link between Christianity and Western freedoms. But it seems Muslims covet the gifts, but not the giver. Are they going to seek the Lord, or will they demand their own way and seek to impose Islam on their host societies?
It’s obvious that not all religions are the same. The Bible makes some interesting statements about religion and the land. In Leviticus 18 God warns that if the land is defiled; he will punish it for its sin, and the land will vomit out its inhabitants. In Psalm 68:6 we read that “the rebellious live in a sun-scorched land.”
Lets looks at the countries that Islam covers from above.
What does that tell you? The only green spot in it besides the Nile delta is tiny Israel. It’s the only nation that’s democratic and not Islamic. If it’s because of a lack of rainfall, then Israel should be just as arid.
Here are some borders from around the world. The difference between Haiti and the Dominican republic is another remarkable picture. Haiti practices voodoo.
This is from A Disciple’s Study blog:
“For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth.
“The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into Him, that they may delight in His Presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God Himself in the core and center of their hearts.”
