    I think tattoos above the neckline are really stupid. People use their faces to expresses themselves in detail, tattoos in that area are disturbing. I will never have a tattoo but I once said that Jesus is my tattoo. Which means that the glory of God may cover me and reveal Jesus through me. I suppose that makes more sense to people who have tattoos than to those who don't though.

    If you want a tattoo, fine, but this is absurd. If it is just for a sermon illustration, it is still absurd. If you want a tat go to a real shop or some biker's house out in the sticks, not church.

    ...ignorance gone to seed...

    Get A Tattoo Onstage During The Sermon!!
    Because nobody can listen to a regular sermon anymore...

    So, let's think about this for a minute:

    The God who created the entire universe from nothing, who was born to a virgin, lived an amazing life full of miracles, teachings and healings, then willingly gave His life on the cross to pay for the sins of all the world, then rose victoriously from the dead... all of that is not good enough to get people's attention?

    But if someone get's a tattoo onstage during the sermon-that's gonna make the Gospel message a lot better? If only we would have known this before!

    "I didn't want to repent of my sins, but now that some lady got a tattoo during a sermon, I believe. Plus, it's easier to pay attention to a sermon while being completely distracted. "
    — Said Nobody Ever


    Closing thoughts: If pastors continue this downward spiral, where will it end up? If we say that "people are different nowadays" and "we need a gimmick to get people to church these days" aren't we just setting ourselves up for even more ridiculous and embarrassing stunts? And if a person comes to church only because they were attracted to the spectacle that made it "new" and "relevant," what kind of person are we attracting, and why are they really showing up?

    My question is when will we stop trying to "get people to church" and start going as the church and making disciples?

    I was lurking on another forum where a poster was complaining about people using cell phones in church for the Bible reading. The poster commented how the teens were texting each other and it was obvious many adults were just reading other stuff rather than even listening to the message.

    Not me. I haven't taken a paper Bible to church since I got my smart phone many years ago. And I use it for the Bible. Just because some are don't mean everybody is.
