Paul addresses the Ephesian church elders and counsels them for the future of the church. He warns that false teachers will try to influence the congregation from both outside and inside the church. Paul emphasizes that church leaders must faithfully feed and protect the flock through teaching God's word, as Jesus is the good shepherd and they are his under-shepherds. Church leaders must always be vigilant against threats through steadfast prayer and teaching of scripture so that the congregation remains strong in their faith.

Our challenge is to change darkness into light. We are called out of this world into a special place of family and support called "church" to be sent into the darkness to influence and make a difference.
What is stopping you from giving yourself entirely to God? For some it is the pursuit of wealth. For others, it may be the pursuit of pleasure. Still others may be fearful of what others will think and say while others just want to be in control of their own lives. Whatever stands in your way of giving yourself completely to God, remove it!

the logging cloud can execute some queries on the encrypted logs without breaching confidentiality or privacy. Anonymous network

A Study of Approaches and Measures aimed at Securing Biometric Fingerprint Te...Editor IJCATR
The need for fool proof authentication procedures away from traditional authentication mechanisms like passwords, security PINS has led to the advent of biometric authentication in information systems. Biometric data extracted from physiological features of a person including but not limited to fingerprints, palm prints, face or retina for purpose of verification & identification is saved as biometric templates. The inception of biometrics in access control systems has not been without its own hitches & like other systems it has its fair share of challenges. Biometric fingerprints being the most mature of all biometric spheres are the most widely adopted biometric authentication systems. Biometric systems effectiveness lies on how secure they are at preventing inadvertent disclosure of biometric templates in an information system‟s archive. This however has not been the case as biometric templates have been fraudulently accessed to gain unauthorized access in identification and verification systems. In order to achieve strong and secure biometric systems, biometric systems developers need to build biometric systems that properly secure biometric templates. Several biometric template protection schemes and approaches have been proposed and used to safeguard stored biometric templates. Despite there being various biometric template protection schemes and approaches in existence, none of them has provided the most authentic, reliable, efficient and deterrent means to totally secure biometric fingerprint templates. This research sought to establish status of the current biometric template protection techniques and methods by conducting a survey and analyzing data gathered from a sample of seventy-eight (78) respondents. We will report these results and give our conclusion based on findings of the survey in this paper.
Detection of PUE Attack by SPARS Model using WSPRTEditor IJCATR
Cognitive radio is a system which improves the utilization of the spectrum by sensing the white spaces in its vicinity. This
sensed information will be utilized by the Secondary User (SU) to transmit the data. But some of the malicious users attacks th
system by generating the signal same as that of the primary transmitter. The attack caused by generating the signal same as t
primary transmitter is called as Primary User Emulation Attack (PUEA). In this paper the Signal Activity Pattern Acquisition
Reconstruction System (SPARS) is used to detect the attack. But this system suffers from low True Positive Rate. To incr
positive rate or sensitivity a new technique was proposed called as Weighted Sequential Probability Ratio Test (WSPRT). By
improving the true positive rate or sensitivity, the detection capability of the system will be improved.
Iris Localization - a Biometric Approach Referring Daugman's AlgorithmEditor IJCATR
In general, there are many methods of biometric identification. But the Iris
recognition is most accurate and secure means of biometric identification. Iris has
many properties which makes it ideal biometric identification. There are many
methods used to identify the Iris location. To locate Iris many traditional methods are
used. In this we proposed such methods which can identify Iris Center(IC) as well as
localize its center. In this paper we are proposing a method which can use novel IC
localization method on the fact that the elliptical shape (ES) of Iris varies according to
the rotation of eye movement. In this paper various IC locations are generated and
stored in database. Finally the location of IC is detected by matching the ES of the Iris
of input eye image withes candidates in DB. In this paper we are comparing different
methods for Iris localization.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
