Ever wondered if it's ok for Christians to get tattoos on your body?
Wes McAdam shares relevant Bible references, at the same time gives us some probing questions when we in the midst of getting tattoos.
1) In today's culture, does having tattoo associate me righteousness & sin? 1 Thess 5:21-22 (NASB)
2) Am I doing it for God or for myself? Is it going to glorify God by getting this tattoos?
3) Are we honouring our parents? What do your parents say about it?
I'm really blessed by his way of sharing. May God bless Wes & his family bountifully. Continue to shine & be the Salt & Light for Jesus : )

The Lure & dangers of Prosperity Gospel by Dr Paul Choo
Preachers of the "Gospel of Prosperity" or also known as the "Health and Wealth" Gospel have often misled & blinded many... Dr Paul Choo shares how God's messages are taken out of context & the ploys of prosperity gospel preachers who manipulate believers for their personal gains...
Mat 24:3-5,10-11 (NIV) ..."Tell us," they said, "when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?" Jesus answered, "Watch out that no one deceives you, for many will come in my name,.. At that time many will turn away from the faith... and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people."

Please grant me the strength I need daily,

Flaming Christian Duo Jayesslee Gaining Fame
Really glad talented Christians are making waves in the entertainment scene... making it easier to share the Good News to pre-believers. I seriously believe the best singers in the world are those from the church...especially those worship leaders : )
Check out the hot Australian twins group (from Korean parents) - Jayesslee performing "Price Tag" at City Harvest Church on 9 Jul 2011:
All those blessed with a good voice continue shine for our Lord Jesus!

Jesus' First and Greatest Commandment - Matt 22:37
Jesus shared the First and Greatest Commandment - Matthew 22:37
How do we interpret - "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment."
Many a time we overly simply the meaning of words & verses in the Bible & thus missing the essence of the message.
We know Jesus is our Lord & our God.
Below is my interpretation (based on reference site - http://www.divorcehope.com/lovegodwithallyourheartsoulmind.htm) of the words - "heart", "Soul" & "Mind" used in the first & greatest commandment:
1) "Heart"... The Hebrew word for “heart” is lebab, which means: To be enclosed—as the interior or center, hence, the heart. In the Greek, the word is kardia. It means: The seat in the center of man’s inward life—the place of human depravity or the sphere of divine influence.
==> I would interpret "Heart" as the centre of your life, your passion, attention & your focus - thus, loving the Lord our God with all our attention or focus... putting God in the centre of our life...
2) "Soul"... The Hebrew word for “soul” is nephesh. It means: A breathing creature—whether a person, animal or creature of the sea. The Greek word equivalent is psuche, in which we get our prefix-word, psycho, for words like: psychology, Psuche means: Breath—voluntarily but gently (basically, being alive).
Psuche is used in a very wide sense throughout the Bible regarding mans many feelings: His emotions, attitudes and will. Hence, loving God “with all your soul” is different from ‘loving God with all your heart” in that it speaks of the “emotions, attitudes and will” of a person.
1Timothy 6:11 speaks about “godliness” —being devoted to God. It is saying to CHOOSE to love God—an attitude of self-devotion to love. It is an exercising of the will (part of the soul) to love God in all situations of life. In other words, choose to do what is right and do it with the right attitude.
==> In other words, Soul is the "air" or "atmosphere" (our emotions, attitudes & will) within you that reflect or exudes "Godliness" or "Christlikeness"...
3) "Mind"... The Greek word Jesus used for “mind” is dianoia, which means: Deep though, exercising the mind, to think through. The word the Scribe used for mind is sunesis, which means: A putting together, to figure out, intelligence. The Hebrew equivalent (taken from Jeremiah 31:33 translated in the KJV as “inward parts”) is qereb, which means: to approach or bring near—hence, to consider and think upon.
==> Therefore, our mind is our intellect—the place where we analyze, figure-out and plan things; the place where knowledge and understanding are analyzed and manipulated to bring about a conclusion or decision.
Loving God “with all our mind” means:
How do we interpret - "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[c] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment."
Many a time we overly simply the meaning of words & verses in the Bible & thus missing the essence of the message.

Loving God “with all our mind” means:
- That EVERYTHING we put in or allow in our minds is right, true and moral.
- That we align our conclusions and decisions based upon the commandments of God and the written Word of God in all situations.

The Lord's Prayer taught in Book of Matthew (馬 太 福 音) & Luke (路 加 福 音)
Recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (6:9-13) & Gospel of Luke (11:2-4), Jesus teaches His disciples how to pray after one of them asked. Jesus taught the disciples the Lord's Prayer:
" 'Father,[a]
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.[b]
3Give us each day our daily bread.
4Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c]
And lead us not into temptation.[d]' "
(NIV Bible Verse from Biblegateway.com)
The Lord's Prayer in King James Version:
The Lord's Prayer in Chinese Union Version (Simplified):
4 赦 免 我 们 的 罪 ， 因 为 我 们 也 赦 免 凡 亏 欠 我 们 的 人 。 不 叫 我 们 遇 见 试 探 ； 救 我 们 脱 离 凶 恶 （ 有 古 卷 无 末 句 ） 。
5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Luke 11
Jesus' Teaching on Prayer
2He said to them, "When you pray, say:" 'Father,[a]
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.[b]
3Give us each day our daily bread.
4Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c]
And lead us not into temptation.[d]' "
(NIV Bible Verse from Biblegateway.com)
The Lord's Prayer in King James Version:
The Lord's Prayer in Chinese Union Version (Simplified):
路 加 福 音 11
2 耶 稣 说 ： 你 们 祷 告 的 时 候 ， 要 说 ： 我 们 在 天 上 的 父 （ 有 古 卷 只 作 ： 父 阿 ） ： 愿 人 都 尊 你 的 名 为 圣 。 愿 你 的 国 降 临 ； 愿 你 的 旨 意 行 在 地 上 ， 如 同 行 在 天 上 （ 有 古 卷 无 愿 你 的 旨 意 云 云 ） 。
3 我 们 日 用 的 饮 食 ， 天 天 赐 给 我 们 。4 赦 免 我 们 的 罪 ， 因 为 我 们 也 赦 免 凡 亏 欠 我 们 的 人 。 不 叫 我 们 遇 见 试 探 ； 救 我 们 脱 离 凶 恶 （ 有 古 卷 无 末 句 ） 。
Additional Info from Matthew 6:5-8
5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
