Take a guess at what arms mine…. ya…United
the short
Hellooo... My name is Cameron and I have started using this little thing called WordPress. I have a passion for God and serving Him. I also love music and art. I will be attending Cedarville University and double majoring In graphic design and youth ministry. I hope to use this place to share with you whats on my mind and what I find in the internet world. I have a lot to share, though I am a little slow on the posting part. So keep checking back and hopefully ill keep this thing updated.
something quick to chew on
"Otherness gives us a sense that God is so pure, matchless and unique that no one else and nothing else even comes close. He is altogether glorious—unequalled in splendor and unrivalled in power. He is beyond the grasp of human reason—far above the reach of even the loftiest scientific mind. He is inexhaustible, immeasurable and unfathomable—eternal, immortal and invisible. The highest mountain peaks and the deepest canyon depths are just tiny echoes of His proclaimed greatness. And the blazing stars above, the faintest emblems of the full measure of His glory." -Matt Redman

Es demaaciiado bueno desde qe mi amiigo me diijo qe los escucharaa lo escucho siigaan asii lo qe es a mi me encantaa :)
I hate all you dirty christians. JK just most of you. Especially all the ones that act all high and mighty about serving god and shit. I think your all weak becasue your uncomfortable with doing “right” for the good of man kind so you hide behind religion. Can’t we all stop worshipping Jesus. He sucks.
P.S.- Worship the devil….. He doesn’t suck as much!
thats reeallly sad man. do u even realize wat ur saying mr “i give up” and mr. “yay look at me i worship the devil and u should too”?
first off: NO we CANNOT stop worshipping Jesus.
second:if anyone sucks its the devil cuz he’s the one who makes u have that mentality towards christians
third: we’re not afraid of doing right for the good of man kind-on the contrary-that’s exactly what christians are trying to do-bring Jesus into people’s lives so that this DEVILISH world will have some good and right things in it
fourth: hating Jesus/God/the Holy Spirit and christians is foolish……it only leads you to destruction and u would know that if you read proverbs….wait and see what God can do to u /in your life
p.s. i agree with raquel that u (whoever makes this website) shouldnt have done that tattoo thing even as a joke because leviticus 19:28 says “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves.I am the Lord.” and ur right “cyare”…some bands just make noise and call themselves musicians.
anyway…I LOVE GOD…..PEACE OUT <3
ya’ll guys are amazing!!!!!!i love all of your songs!!!!
you guys are amazing worshipping god and letting his love be known and i cant wait to hang out with you guys in heaven!! and worship with all of you to praise our real god not a fake idol!
Actually “jesus worshipper :D” It also says in Leviticus 19 “Don’t cut your hair or shave your beard” But do you cut your hair or shave your beard? (If you’re a Guy! :P) I have nothing against tattoos, in fact the pastor of our Great Church has recently got a tattoo! And I am soon to book my first session of many I’m sure! :)
Didn’t mean that in a critical way.. Just don’t put down tattoos’ if you have also done things that it says not to in that book!
Hey Jordan, if you’re pastor has a tatoo then he is not following Jesus. We must open up our spiritual eyes and not our worldy eyes. We just can’t imitate the world , actually, the world has to imitate Jesus. Having a tatoo is wrong and not cool. We belong to God and we must keep our temple clean and pure. What Would Jesus Do?
There are a few passages in the Scriptures that talk about tattoos and piercing.
Lev. 19:28
“You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD.”
This verse has reference to the custom among the pagan nations to pierce themselves, or tattoo themselves when a member of the family died. Such tattooing or piercing was an effort to appease the Idols they worshiped into accepting their departed relative. For an Israelite to pierce himself or tattoo himself was a sign that he was influenced by Idolatry. This was a serious sin.
This verse, however, cannot be applied to the kinds of tattoos or piercings that are associated with our culture except among the pagan worshipers. It is ALWAYS wrong to apply the Old Testament Law, which was given only to the Jews, to New Testament times. We DO NOT live under the Old Testament Law. To take a verse out of the Old Testament and attempt to apply it today is to practice legalism. This was the error of Judiazers of the first Century who were trying to teach that Christians had to obey certain aspects of the Old Testament. They were condemned for their error (c.f. Galatians).
Exodus 21:6
“then his master shall bring him to God, then he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him permanently.”
Deut 15:17
“then you shall take an awl and pierce it through his ear into the door, and he shall be your servant forever. Also you shall do likewise to your maidservant.”
In Old Testament times tattoos and piercings were used in a way similar to the way we “brand” cattle today. It demonstrated ownership. Slaves were “marked” indicating that they were an indentured servant to another. These verses would not find application to the current situation of tattoos and piercings.
In the New Testament there are no prohibitions against tattoos or piercings. Some would say that the “mark” in the book of Revelation indicates God’s displeasure with tattoos. This cannot be demonstrated by the context of the book of Revelation. In Revelation the “mark” on the hands and the forehead are representative of what a person does with his hands and his head. God is concerned about the things that we do with our hands (whether good or evil). He is concerned with the way we use our minds (whether for good or evil). The “mark” in Revelation has absolutely nothing to do with a literal mark.
There is a consistent teaching throughout the Bible that we do not belong to ourselves. For the Christian this concept is clearly taught in 1 Cor. 6:19-20.
1 Cor. 6:19-20
19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
20 For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body.
The Christian must ask, “will this be harmful to my body?” If the answer is yes…….it is wrong. The Christian must ask, “can I glorify God by this action?” If the answer is no…..it is wrong.
I agree with you Edwin. As a matter of fact, there are a few passages in the Scriptures that talk about tattoos and piercing.
Lev. 19:28
“You shall not make any cuts in your body for the dead nor make any tattoo marks on yourselves: I am the LORD.” (Just like Jesus Worshiper said.)
This verse has reference to the custom among the pagan nations to pierce themselves, or tattoo themselves when a member of the family died. Such tattooing or piercing was an effort to appease the Idols they worshiped into accepting their departed relative. For an Israelite to pierce himself or tattoo himself was a sign that he was influenced by Idolatry. This was a serious sin.

Tatoos are foolish, I know some Christian fanatics who put marks on their arms. Christians should be careful! Just because Joel Houston has one doesn’t mean we need one too. Be like Jesus!
Little Known Facts:
1. Pierced People Pray
2. Tattooed People Go to Church
3. Christian Doesn’t Mean Narrow-Minded.

if you worship Jesus: rock on
if you want tattoos: rock on
if you want to draw on yourself with sharpies and have people freak out because its a “sin”: love that person and their opinion and rock on
no two people’s religion is the same. it’s a personal spiritual relationship. it’s impossible for two people to have the same personal religion because each person has had their own DIFFERENT experiences and lessons learned that influence how they perceive the world. sure they can be similar which is why there are different denominations that have different beliefs but are still within the Christian religion. Everyone that is a Christian has a different relationship with God or Jesus.
so rock on whatever you believe and don’t be narrow-minded. you can change your religious views.
Christian People knowing the word and have tatoos, it’s considered fanatism. Why? because people want to identify by having marks and have image of Jesus in their skin which is considered wrong. Why do that, if we can be the light of the world? I’m not saying we should judge believers or non believers who have tatoos in their body. We should come to them and revealed the truth, Not JUDGE! We should be like Jesus, We have to take our marks off, our disguises off, and see His Glory revealed. “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” All the men left and Jesus was the only one left standing. Jesus then told her, “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
(John 8:3-11)
