The obsession and reaction by some here of this girl's nose ring is exactly the reason so many people are repulsed by "Christians" and their attitudes. They are the very one's turning people away for Christ.

can’t agree more....

God looks at the condition of your heart, not a nose ring, tattoo or the way you dress....

The late Pastor Chuck Smith reached literally thousands of hippies and druggies in the late sixties by reaching out to them thought his ministry now called Calvary Chapels, people who traditional churches shunned because of their outward appearance... Today there are thousands of CC worldwide doing some of the most productive evangelical work today...

The Book of Romans says that the believer's body is a temple to God, as God dwells within the believer.

Do you know about the Temple in the Old Testament ? Would you take a brush and a bucket of paint and walk in and start heading for the Holy of Holies to "improve it" ?

The Bible gives us a view of God's supreme interest in his creation, life. As Creator, he is sovereign over the giving and taking of life. We, the creature, have been given bodies by God; the true believer's body is a temple to God, whose Holy Spirit dwells within. Accordingly, personally, I would not make a mark on my body - out of joyful obedience to Christ, my Lord and Savior. I was converted after committing many years of many sins.
