Jan 18: Call your elected officials tell them you oppose SOPA and PIPA
Call your elected officials.
Tell them you are their constituent, and you oppose SOPA and PIPA.
Why?
SOPA and PIPA would put the burden on website owners to police user-contributed material and call for the unnecessary blocking of entire sites. Small sites won't have sufficient resources to defend themselves. Big media companies may seek to cut off funding sources for their foreign competitors, even if copyright isn't being infringed. Foreign sites will be blacklisted, which means they won't show up in major search engines. SOPA and PIPA would build a framework for future restrictions and suppression.
Websites cannot survive in a world in which our politicians regulate the Internet based on the influence of big money, the music, film industry, news agencies and magazines.
Congress says it's trying to protect the rights of copyright owners, but what SOPA and PIPA represent is not the answer: they would fatally damage the free and open Internet.
There are already laws that protect copyrighted material, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). But while the DMCA focuses on removing specific, unauthorized content from the Internet, SOPA and PIPA instead target the providers of the platforrms, the website hosting companys. This makes them responsilbe for policing the unauthorized content

Oct 16: Strong Enough by Matthew West
The Story Behind Strong Enough
How to Play the Song
Oct 14: Our Sanctification
Our Sanctification positionally perfect before God, exerienced here in a practically with help of the Holy Spirit. Ultimately our sanctificaton will be perfect when we are glorified in heaven when we get our new body.
(Rom 3:23 [NET])
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
(Rom 8:28 [NET])
And we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose,
(1John 3:13 [NET])
Therefore do not be surprised, brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.
(Eph 1:4 [NET])
For he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world that we may be holy and unblemished in his sight in love.
(Eph 1:5 [NET])
He did this by predestining us to adoption as his sons through Jesus Christ, according to the pleasure of his will –
(Eph 1:6 [NET])
to the praise of the glory of his grace that he has freely bestowed on us in his dearly loved Son.
(Eph 1:7 [NET])
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
(Eph 5:25 [NET])
Husbands, love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her
(Eph 5:26 [NET])
to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word,
(Eph 5:27 [NET])
so that he may present the church to himself as glorious – not having a stain or wrinkle, or any such blemish, but holy and blameless.
(Col 1:22 [NET])
but now he has reconciled you by his physical body through death to present you holy, without blemish, and blameless before him –
(Jude 1:24 [NET])
Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling, and to cause you to stand, rejoicing, without blemish before his glorious presence,
(Heb 10:10 [NET])
By his will we have been made holy through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
(Heb 10:11 [NET])
And every priest stands day after day serving and offering the same sacrifices again and again – sacrifices that can never take away sins.
(Heb 10:12 [NET])
But when this priest had offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, he sat down at the right hand of God,
(Heb 10:13 [NET])
where he is now waiting until his enemies are made a footstool for his feet.
(Heb 10:14 [NET])
For by one offering he has perfected for all time those who are made holy.
(1Cor 6:9 [NET])
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners, practicing homosexuals,
(1Cor 6:10 [NET])
thieves, the greedy, drunkards, the verbally abusive, and swindlers will not inherit the kingdom of God.
(1Cor 6:11 [NET])
Some of you once lived this way. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
(Rom 1:7 [NET])
To all those loved by God in Rome, called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
(Rom 6:22 [NET])
But now, freed from sin and enslaved to God, you have your benefit leading to sanctification, and the end is eternal life.
(Rom 1:1 [NET])
From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God.
(Rom 1:2 [NET])
This gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
(2Cor 3:18 [NET])
And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
(1Cor 13:9 [NET])
For we know in part, and we prophesy in part,
(1Cor 13:10 [NET])
but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside.
(1Cor 13:11 [NET])
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult, I set aside childish ways.
(1Cor 13:12 [NET])
For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known.
(1Cor 3:18 [NET])
Guard against self-deception, each of you. If someone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he can become wise.
(1Cor 6:14 [NET])
Now God indeed raised the Lord and he will raise us by his power.
(1Cor 6:15 [NET])
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Should I take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Never!
(1Cor 6:16 [NET])
Or do you not know that anyone who is united with a prostitute is one body with her? For it is said, “The two will become one flesh.”
(1Cor 6:17 [NET])
But the one united with the Lord is one spirit with him.
(1Cor 6:18 [NET])
Flee sexual immorality! “Every sin a person commits is outside of the body” – but the immoral person sins against his own body.
(2Pet 1:5 [NET])
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith excellence, to excellence, knowledge;
(2Pet 1:6 [NET])
to knowledge, self-control; to self-control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness;
(2Pet 1:7 [NET])
to godliness, brotherly affection; to brotherly affection, unselfish love.
(2Pet 1:8 [NET])
For if these things are really yours and are continually increasing, they will keep you from becoming ineffective and unproductive in your pursuit of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ more intimately.
(2Pet 1:5 [NET])
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith excellence, to excellence, knowledge;
(2Pet 1:6 [NET])
to knowledge, self-control; to self-control, perseverance; to perseverance, godliness;
(2Pet 1:7 [NET])
to godliness, brotherly affection; to brotherly affection, unselfish love.
(2Pet 1:8 [NET])
For if these things are really yours and are continually increasing, they will keep you from becoming ineffective and unproductive in your pursuit of knowing our Lord Jesus Christ more intimately.
(1Thess 5:23 [NET])
Now may the God of peace himself make you completely holy and may your spirit and soul and body be kept entirely blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
(1Thess 5:24 [NET])
He who calls you is trustworthy, and he will in fact do this.

(Ps 51:5 [NET])
Look, I was guilty of sin from birth, a sinner the moment my mother conceived me.
(Gen 1:25 [NET])
God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the cattle according to their kinds, and all the creatures that creep along the ground according to their kinds. God saw that it was good.
(Gen 5:1 [NET])
This is the record of the family line of Adam. When God created humankind, he made them in the likeness of God.
(Gen 5:2 [NET])
He created them male and female; when they were created, he blessed them and named them “humankind.”
(Gen 5:3 [NET])
When Adam had lived 130 years he fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and he named him Seth.
(Gen 5:4 [NET])
The length of time Adam lived after he became the father of Seth was 800 years; during this time he had other sons and daughters.
(Gen 5:5 [NET])
The entire lifetime of Adam was 930 years, and then he died.
(Isa 65:16 [NET])
Whoever pronounces a blessing in the earth will do so in the name of the faithful God; whoever makes an oath in the earth will do so in the name of the faithful God. For past problems will be forgotten; I will no longer think about them.
(Isa 65:17 [NET])
For look, I am ready to create new heavens and a new earth! The former ones will not be remembered; no one will think about them anymore.
(Isa 65:18 [NET])
But be happy and rejoice forevermore over what I am about to create! For look, I am ready to create Jerusalem to be a source of joy, and her people to be a source of happiness.
(Isa 65:19 [NET])
Jerusalem will bring me joy, and my people will bring me happiness. The sound of weeping or cries of sorrow will never be heard in her again.
(Isa 65:20 [NET])
Never again will one of her infants live just a few days or an old man die before his time. Indeed, no one will die before the age of a hundred, anyone who fails to reach the age of a hundred will be considered cursed.
We are spiritually dead because of Adam's sin. Satan is the ruler of this world and blinds the nonbeliever.
(Eph 2:1 [NET])
And although you were dead in your transgressions and sins,

in which you formerly lived according to this world’s present path, according to the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the ruler of the spirit that is now energizing the sons of disobedience,
(Eph 2:3 [NET])
among whom all of us also formerly lived out our lives in the cravings of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath even as the rest…
(2Cor 4:3 [NET])
But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing,
(2Cor 4:4 [NET])
among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who do not believe so they would not see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God.
(1Pet 5:8 [NET])
Be sober and alert. Your enemy the devil, like a roaring lion, is on the prowl looking for someone to devour.
(Luke 4:6 [NET])
And he said to him, “To you I will grant this whole realm – and the glory that goes along with it, for it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.

So then, if you will worship me, all this will be yours.”
(1John 5:19 [NET])
We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

Therefore he told me, “These signify the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by strength and not by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD who rules over all.”

Ephesians 1:15-20 Thanksgiving and Prayer 15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
Matthew 7:13 The Narrow and Wide Gates 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Revelation 20:11-15 The Judgment of the Dead 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
John 5:16 The Authority of the Son 16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.
Ephesians 2:1-10 Made Alive in Christ 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 Spiritual Blindness 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.
John 17:3

3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Matthew 5:46
New International Version (NIV)
46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
John 5:22-30
New International Version (NIV)
22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
Matthew 7:13-14 The Narrow and Wide Gates 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
Acts 4:11-12

1 Corinthians 2:10
New International Version (NIV)
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
1 Corinthians 2:14-15
New International Version (NIV)
14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments,
John 3:34
New International Version (NIV)
34 For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God[a] gives the Spirit without limit.
Matthew 3:16-17
New International Version (NIV)
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.

Ephesians 1:15-20 Thanksgiving and Prayer 15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,
Matthew 7:13 The Narrow and Wide Gates 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
Revelation 20:11-15 The Judgment of the Dead 11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
John 5:16 The Authority of the Son 16 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute him.
Ephesians 2:1-10 Made Alive in Christ 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 Spiritual Blindness 3 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

John 5:22-30
New International Version (NIV)
22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
Matthew 7:13-14 The Narrow and Wide Gates 13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
