This document discusses forces that fight against gratitude such as pride, greed, hatred, envy, and inferiority complexes. It provides biblical examples of how each of these led people astray, such as pride causing Nebuchadnezzar's downfall and envy causing Joseph's brothers to sell him into slavery. Having a thankful heart can help overcome these forces and instead experience the fruits of the spirit like love. Being thankful also means respecting oneself and others as equal in God's eyes.

It explores biases like comfort/complacency bias, which causes people to reject information that challenges their worldviews or requires effort.

"So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;" (Ephesians 2:19-21)

Angels and demons- St Cyprian and St Justina,
The document tells the story of Cyprian and Justina and their encounters with demons. It describes:
1) How Cyprian was originally a powerful sorcerer who learned magic from demons and could perform feats like controlling the weather. He taught others sorcery.
2) How he considered the devil a friend and saw his frightening appearance. However, after meeting Justina, whose prayers protected her from demons, Cyprian realized the demons' weakness.
3) How Cyprian and Justina converted to Christianity. Cyprian destroyed his books of magic and was ordained as a priest and bishop, completely transforming his life. Justina established a convent. Both were eventually martyred
140427 eng game changer (part 2) by ps. timothy loh
The document discusses how Jesus Christ's resurrection was the ultimate "game changer" that changed everything. It asserts that through Christ, believers have been changed from a life of sin and death to a new abundant life in Him. By rising from the dead, Jesus defeated the devil's mission to steal, kill and destroy, and gave his followers victory over sin, death and the evil one.
Romans 12d Real Love
This document contains a summary of key passages from Romans 12 and 1 Corinthians 13 about godly love. It discusses how love is patient, kind, loyal, and does not envy or boast. True love focuses on others rather than oneself and tolerates imperfections in others through patience and kindness. The document contrasts this behavior of godly love with actions that are selfish, lustful, and ungodly.
8 Ways To Humble You
This document provides eight tips for becoming more humble: 1) Look for the best in people rather than focusing on yourself; 2) Give sincere compliments to others; 3) Be quick to admit mistakes; 4) Be the first to apologize in arguments; 5) Admit limitations and ask others for help; 6) Serve the community through volunteering; 7) Learn new skills which requires starting from nothing; 8) Give God credit for your abilities and accomplishments rather than taking credit yourself. The overall message is that humility involves focusing on others rather than oneself.
Why Outsiders Matter
The document discusses perceptions of Christianity from outsiders based on surveys from the Barna Group. It finds that outsiders, especially younger generations, commonly perceive Christianity as judgmental, hypocritical, old-fashioned, and out of touch. However, they also see Christians as teaching good values and principles. The document advocates for Christians to represent God in a way that is real, cross-focused, deliberate, and responsive in order to fulfill the mission of being witnesses and making disciples.

The document discusses white supremacy and its relationship to evangelical Christianity. It notes that evangelicals historically opposed integration and defended segregation academies. During the Cold War, ideals of evangelical masculinity praised Confederate generals and slavery. While the racial elements were sometimes subtle, the heroic Christian man was invariably white. The document directly quotes evangelical leaders expressing racist beliefs, including that they did not feel guilty about slavery and that taking America from Native Americans was a matter of survival. Bible passages are presented that were used to justify slavery. The belief in white supremacy and what "whiteness" entails is defined. People are asked about their experiences with white supremacy in the church and how it has impacted them.

The document contains excerpts from Brian McLaren's work discussing how people can fail to see gradual threats or changes. It notes how our brains are wired to see what feels normal and minimize threats that develop slowly over time. Jesus used imagery of slow decay and change to depict this. McLaren discusses how certain groups can be blinded by financial interests like tobacco executives ignoring health risks. The document advocates developing a long view rather than only seeing the immediate present. It includes prayers about gaining perspective on gradual dangers and changes, and on overcoming biases like seeing only what helps make money.
Disciple Makers
The document discusses leading disciple makers and focuses on three key points:
1. Jesus calls his followers to make disciples of all nations by going out and sharing their faith.
2. Effective disciple making requires discovering, developing, and deploying disciple makers as a top priority. Leaders must align all systems and efforts towards this goal of multiplying disciples.
3. The vision is of people who are obsessively focused on and dedicated to Jesus, living holy lives that inspire others and further the cause of making more disciples.
Vintage love marriage_promise_5.27.12
The document discusses the Christian vision of marriage as based on mutual satisfaction through mutual submission, and being filled with the Holy Spirit to overcome sin. It emphasizes commitment through a promise to sustain the relationship. Several principles are outlined for relationships, including prioritizing the good of the relationship over individual needs. Widely held beliefs about romance and compatibility are challenged. The experience of marriage is compared to experiences of covenant with God and the church through baptism. Love in marriage is discussed as selflessly staying with and loving one's spouse to make them lovely, as Christ loved the church on the cross despite their betrayal.

1 Whats Wrong With Gossip
The document discusses the sin of gossip and its harmful effects. It begins by examining biblical passages that condemn gossip and defines it as spreading rumors or revealing private facts about others. The document then notes how Paul grouped gossip with other grave sins like murder. It argues gossip originates from evil in one's heart, hatred, or idleness. The core message is that gossip destroys reputations and relationships, so Christians must avoid engaging in or spreading it.

The document then notes how Paul grouped gossip with other grave sins like murder. It argues gossip originates from evil in one's heart, hatred, or idleness. The core message is that gossip destroys reputations and relationships, so Christians must avoid engaging in or spreading it.
Experiencing the fathers love
The document discusses experiencing the love of God as our Heavenly Father. It explores how our perceptions of God are often shaped by our earthly fathers and experiences of abandonment or lack of affection. Living as slaves rather than sons stems from not internalizing the Father's unconditional love. The document advocates for healing from wounds through reconciling with the Father's love as shown through Jesus. This allows us to live freely as beloved sons and daughters instead of in performance or shame.
Avoiding the Snare of the Devil
The sermon discusses learning to avoid the snare of the devil through adultery and lustful thoughts. It outlines three goals: 1) To be alerted to the devil's snares. 2) To learn how to overcome the devil's snares. 3) To learn from others' mistakes and successes in dealing with the devil's snares. The sermon provides biblical examples of people who struggled or overcame temptation, like Job, Samson, and discusses applying spiritual armor from Ephesians to resist the devil.
Victory Over Gossip, Part 1
The document discusses the dangers and sources of gossip and division within churches. It provides several Bible passages condemning gossip and urging unity. Gossip stems from issues like carnality, jealousy, desire for position and biblical illiteracy. Churches should have zero tolerance for gossip and slander in order to remain unified and protect members from harm.
Deliver us from evil - Suffering and pain
The document discusses sources of suffering and how God can use suffering for good. It notes that suffering can come from Satan, living in a fallen world, punishment from God to discipline and produce righteousness, and persecution for following Christ. While suffering is difficult, the document provides biblical examples showing how God used suffering in the lives of Joseph, Moses, Elijah, David, and Paul to mature them. It suggests getting closer to God may involve greater suffering to remain humble, but that through suffering, Christians can experience the power of Christ, become perfected, and know God's purpose is for good.
National Alliance for Life Conference Presentation 2021
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Peter Hammond at the 2021 National Alliance for Life Conference in Africa. The presentation discusses the need for Christians to take action against societal issues like abortion, pornography, and secularism rather than just preach the gospel. It argues that the Bible calls Christians to love their neighbor, which means confronting injustice through activities like protesting, campaigning for moral legislation, and exposing the "works of darkness." While sharing the gospel is important, Christians are also responsible for defending moral values in the public sphere and cannot stand by when others are harmed. The presentation aims to motivate Christians to get more involved in social and political issues rather than remain passive.
Accountability
This document discusses the concepts of accountability and responsibility from a biblical perspective. It provides several bible verses related to these topics. It summarizes the biblical story of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt to the promised land of Canaan and how they were held accountable for their rebellion against God. The document examines what true accountability looks like beyond just outward behaviors to inward motivations and desires. It questions how we can better stir each other up to love and good works through accountability relationships.
I AM FORGIVEN - PTR. RICHARD NILLO - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE
The document discusses forgiveness and bitterness. It begins by summarizing Ephesians 4:25-32 about speaking the truth, controlling anger, not sinning, being kind, and forgiving others. It then tells the story of Naomi, who became bitter after tragedy and asked to be called Mara. The document outlines characteristics of bitter people and ways people become bitter. It provides commands for bitter believers to watch their gossip, emotions, time, enemies, hands, and mouth. The cycle of bitterness is described along with how to build forgiveness by canceling debts, removing others' control, and leaving justice to God. Forgiveness is defined as an ongoing process of wanting good for offenders.
Breaking Silence
This document discusses the importance of not remaining silent when witnessing injustice or sin, and the responsibilities of church leaders to address issues rather than ignore them. It provides several biblical examples of individuals like Jesus, John the Baptist, Phinehas, Ezra, and Jeremiah who spoke out against wrongdoing despite facing opposition or risk to their lives. The document also discusses how fear, pressure, and selfishness can lead people to remain silent instead of acting or speaking when they should. Overall, it argues that silence in the face of injustice makes one complicit and perverts justice, while speaking the truth in love and humility is the righteous path.
Friendship Gods Gift Of Glue
1) Christian friendship is a gift from God that binds believers together through trials and adversity.
2) True Christian friends help each other through difficulties, encourage perseverance in faith, and keep each other accountable to spiritual growth and unity.
3) Friendships require investment of time and care, but provide fellowship and strength in numbers against life's challenges until believers are reunited in heaven.
conflict and its cause
This document is a sermon about the causes of conflict among Christians. It identifies 10 common causes of conflict: pride, desire for control, lack of submission, jealousy, impatience/frustration, talking to the wrong people, lack of love, lack of promptness in dealing with conflict, lack of tact, and inability to see the complete picture. The sermon encourages Christians to use their abilities to live peaceably with all people, be at peace with themselves, and be at peace with God in order to avoid and resolve conflicts.
Dealing with envy
This document discusses the sin of envy and how it can cripple people spiritually and in their relationships. It provides several biblical examples of how envy led to problems between people. The key teachings are that envy is a sin that stems from discontentment and wanting what others have rather than appreciating one's own blessings. To deal with envy, the document recommends humbling oneself before God, resisting the devil, purifying one's heart, and submitting one's will to God rather than desires of the flesh.

This document discusses the sin of envy and how it can cripple people spiritually and in their relationships. It provides several biblical examples of how envy led to problems between people. The key teachings are that envy is a sin that stems from discontentment and wanting what others have rather than appreciating one's own blessings. To deal with envy, the document recommends humbling oneself before God, resisting the devil, purifying one's heart, and submitting one's will to God rather than desires of the flesh.
Covetousness and Contentment
This document contrasts covetousness and contentment. It defines covetousness as a sinful longing for what others have that is forbidden by the 10th commandment. Covetousness stems from pride and leads to idolatry by making material possessions or status the focus rather than God. Contentment, on the other hand, is finding satisfaction in what God has provided through trusting in His care and provision. The document provides numerous Bible verses condemning covetousness and promoting contentment.
April 2 2017 - Sunday Message- OVERCOMING GOSSIP
The document discusses overcoming the negative effects of gossip through forgiveness, discreetly speaking to those involved, avoiding spreading gossip further, and trusting God to vindicate you. It also discusses overcoming gossiping by understanding its ill effects, avoiding passing on gossip as a gesture of love, having courage to speak to the subject, finding those who can address issues in rumors, and praying for all to be spirit-filled to stop gossip in the church. The overall message is about dealing with gossip in a wise, loving manner.
Samson's Besetting Sin
God loves all people and wants to save them from sin and hell. Samson was empowered by God to fight the Philistines, though he often lived sinfully. Through repeated lies, Delilah finally learns from Samson that the source of his strength is his uncut hair. God uses flawed people like Samson, but wisdom and discretion are needed to resist temptation.

Story of elijah
1. The story describes the prophet Elijah confronting King Ahab during a drought.
2. God sends Elijah to a ravine where ravens bring him food and drink, and later to a widow who shares her last meal with him.
3. Elijah performs a miracle by raising the widow's son from the dead, demonstrating that God speaks through Elijah and is the ultimate source of life.
The miracles in the wilderness
The document summarizes the miracles that God performed for the Israelites during their journey in the wilderness after fleeing Egypt. It describes 5 miracles: 1) God led the Israelites with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night. 2) God made the bitter waters at Marah sweet. 3) God provided manna, bread from heaven, for the Israelites to eat each day. 4) God provided quails for the Israelites to eat. 5) God provided water from a rock at Horeb when the Israelites complained of thirst. The document encourages remembering that Jesus is our protector, bread, rock, living water, and redeemer - our all in all.
Ten commandments
This document provides a summary of the Ten Commandments from Exodus chapter 20 of the Bible. It discusses the commandments to put God first, worship only God, not misuse God's name, rest on the Sabbath, respect your parents, not hurt or kill anyone, keep wedding promises, not steal, always tell the truth, and not wish for other people's things. The memory verse is John 14:15. The document is aimed at teaching primary school children about the Ten Commandments.
Let my people go
God's people, the Israelites, were slaves in Egypt for 400 years. God chose Moses to lead the Israelites out of Egypt to their own land where they could worship freely. Moses and his brother Aaron went to Pharaoh and demanded "Let my people go!" but Pharaoh refused. God sent 10 plagues upon Egypt to convince Pharaoh - water turned to blood, frogs, gnats, flies, livestock died, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the death of the firstborn. After the final plague, Pharaoh finally let the Israelites go. God demonstrated his power over the gods of Egypt and showed his love for his people.
Moses and the burning bush
Moses was tending his sheep at Mount Horeb when he saw a burning bush that was not being consumed by the flames. God called out to Moses from the bush, identifying himself as "I AM" and the God of Abraham. God told Moses he had seen the suffering of the Israelites in Egypt and wanted Moses to lead them out of Egypt to worship God at Mount Horeb. Moses questioned how the Israelites would believe he was sent by God, to which God replied his name is "I AM THAT I AM".
His Intruments
Lucifer was originally appointed by God to lead worship in heaven with his beautiful musical instruments and voice (strings, percussion, winds). However, Lucifer became prideful and stole praise meant for God. Ever since his fall, Satan tries to deflect praise from God through popular music that promotes ungodly values. True worship leaders should approach their role with sincerity and effort to express their love for God rather than for self. Listeners also must be discerning of music's intentions and influence.
Story of Joseph
This document summarizes a Bible story about Joseph and his family. It describes how Joseph's brothers were jealous of his colorful robe and sold him into slavery after he had dreams of dominating his family. Joseph was imprisoned in Egypt but later interpreted the Pharaoh's dreams, leading to Joseph being put in charge of storing grain during seven years of plenty. During a famine, Joseph's brothers came to Egypt for food and bowed down to him without realizing it was their brother. Joseph revealed his identity to them and brought his whole family to Egypt to live with him.
Games
The document appears to be notes from a Sunday school lesson that involved memorizing Bible verses. Students were instructed to read memory verses on screen and find the object mentioned in the verse. One verse referenced a basket made of bulrushes that was daubed with bitumen and pitch. The notes provided 12 memory verses but did not include the full text of the verses. The lesson encouraged participation through a game to engage students in finding objects around them related to the verses.
Abraham offers Issac june 28
God tested Abraham's faith by commanding him to sacrifice his son Isaac on a mountain. Abraham obeyed God and took Isaac to be sacrificed. At the last moment, God stopped Abraham and provided a ram to sacrifice instead of Isaac. In remembrance of this event, Abraham named the place "The Lord Will Provide." God then reaffirmed his promise to Abraham to make his descendants as numerous as the stars.
Sodom and Gomorrah
The document summarizes a story from the Bible about Abraham and his nephew Lot. As their families grew larger, Abraham and Lot decided to separate to avoid conflict over land and resources. Lot chose to live near the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. God planned to destroy the cities for their wickedness. Angels warned Lot to leave with his family, which he did, but his wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. God rained down burning sulfur to destroy the cities as Lot and his family fled to safety.
Sodom and Gomorrah
Abraham and his nephew Lot lived together with their families and flocks, but their people began fighting over land. To prevent conflict, Abraham allowed Lot to choose which land he wanted, and Lot chose the fertile plains near Sodom and Gomorrah. God planned to destroy Sodom for its wickedness, so he sent two angels to warn Lot and his family to flee the city immediately without looking back. Lot's wife disobeyed and looked back, turning into a pillar of salt. God rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah, destroying the cities and all life within them as punishment for their sins.
Adam and eve are tempted
God created Adam and placed him in the Garden of Eden. God commanded Adam not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. A serpent tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit by lying and saying it would not cause death. Eve ate the fruit and gave some to Adam, disobeying God. As a result of their sin, Adam and Eve were ashamed and hid from God. God punished them by removing them from the garden and cursing the serpent. Their act of disobedience introduced sin and death into the world.
The healing at the pool
The man had been ill for 38 years and was lying by the pool of Bethesda, hoping to be healed. When Jesus saw him, he asked "Do you want to be healed?". The man responded that he had no one to help him into the pool. Jesus then said "Get up, take up your bed, and walk". Immediately the man was healed, took up his bed, and walked. Jesus' instructions removed any possibility of relapse and expected ongoing success from the healing.
Creation story
This document provides a summary of the creation story from the Bible over 6 days. It describes what God created each day, including light and darkness on day 1, the sky and clouds on day 2, land and plants on day 3, the sun moon and stars on day 4, birds and sea creatures on day 5, and animals and humans on day 6. The document emphasizes that humans are special creations of God, unlike animals, in that humans can love and worship God, have a conscience, use language, be creative, and plan.
Becoming Holy by taming the tongue
This document discusses how to become holy by taming the tongue. It addresses several ways the tongue can be misused, including gossip, criticism, cursing, provoking, grumbling, and coarse joking. For each topic, the document provides relevant Bible verses, asks reflective questions, and offers suggestions on how to avoid improper speech. The overall message is that Christians must control their tongue and speech to become holy, as the tongue can be destructive and must be kept in check according to scripture.
Be Holy
The document discusses what it means to be holy based on scripture. It defines holiness as being set apart for God, which guards the distinction between God and humanity and enables fellowship between them. It says sin disrupts this relationship, but through covenant with God, which involves keeping His commandments, people can restore the relationship and inherit eternal life. The rewards of holiness are peace and prosperity in this life, as well as eternal life. It provides rules for living holy, such as being spirit-filled, prayerful, reading scripture, and obeying God without hesitation.
Respect, relationships, sports
The document provides life lessons and biblical verses about maintaining calmness, caring for one's mind and body, not making decisions in anger or sadness, respecting women as equals, and treating others with honor and respect. It emphasizes never giving up, having self-confidence through faith in God, working as a team while staying humble, maintaining hope, and putting in full effort while leaving the results to God. Key messages are to respect oneself and others, make considered decisions, persevere through challenges, and rely on faith.
Attitude of gratitude
This document discusses the importance of having an attitude of gratitude. It defines an attitude of gratitude as expressing thankfulness and appreciation for both big and small things on a regular basis. It says having gratitude brings blessings, progress in life, establishes God's covenant, and helps fulfill God's plan. It provides examples showing how being thankful, even in difficult times like Job and Joseph faced, led to them overcoming situations and receiving blessings. The document encourages the reader to always express gratitude like Jesus did.
Ss senior3 24th may, 2020_awakening moment
This document discusses spiritual awakening and provides examples from the Bible. It defines spiritual awakening as when God reveals himself to people in different ways, such as through other people, the Bible, or personal experiences. This leads to realizing that one's life needs to change and letting their spiritual side arise. The document then gives five examples of spiritual awakenings from the Bible: Adam and Eve eating the forbidden fruit and their eyes being opened; the servant Gehazi being corrupted and seeing God's army; the martyr Stephen seeing God's glory before dying; Cornelius fearing God; and the Ethiopian eunuch being baptized after his heart was opened to God. It concludes that the real spiritual awakening emerges from

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

Attitude of gratitude 2
- 1. Attitude of Gratitude Part - 2 By Kadhiravan, Marcus & Ranjit
- 2. Forces against Gratitude Fight of a THANKFUL HEART Pride Greed Hatred Envy Complex Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
- 3. Pride Nebuchadnezzar Pride doesn’t allow us to accept that we may need help Can’t stomach someone is more capable than us to help Makes us fear that others will think of us as weak Makes us believe we know all Makes us take people for granted Daniel 3:15 Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”
- 4. Envy Envy makes us want to see someone fall from grace It won’t allow us to see the good in others We cannot accept help from someone we are envious of We will be busy trying to do bad without noticing any good that done to us Brothers of JOSEPH Genesis 37:12 Now his brothers had gone to graze their father’s flocks near Shechem, and Israel said to Joseph, “As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem. Come, I am going to send you to them.” “Very well,” he replied.
- 5. Complex Inferior Feeling of SAUL • Inferiority complex may make us act superior • May ridicule good deeds • We will try to find fault and fault alone 1 Samuel 18:7,8 As they danced, they sang: “Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands.” Saul was very angry; this refrain displeased him greatly. “They have credited David with tens of thousands,” he thought, “but me with only thousands. What more can he get but the kingdom? ”
- 6. Hatred • Makes us focus only on the bad • May not even notice any good deed • We can interpret capability as corruption Haman hated Mordecai Esther 3:5,6 When Haman saw that Mordecai would not kneel down or pay him honor, he was enraged. Yet having learned who Mordecai’s people were, he scorned the idea of killing only Mordecai. Instead Haman looked for a way to destroy all Mordecai’s people, the Jews, throughout the whole kingdom of Xerxes
- 7. Greed • Our eyes get blinded to see good • As we want to surpass the person under question, we may even interpret good as bad • We may even purposely return bad for good Absalom 2 Samuel 15:3,4 Then Absalom would say to him, “Look, your claims are valid and proper, but there is no representative of the king to hear you.” And Absalom would add, “If only I were appointed judge in the land! Then everyone who has a complaint or case could come to me and I would see that they receive justice.”
- 8. Respect Is The Basis of Every Relationship Respect and love yourself first. 1 Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. Respect one another 1 Peter 2:17 Honour everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the Emperor Everyone are equal in the eyes of the Lord and we should treat each other like it. Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek , there is neither slave nor free , there is no male and female , for you are all one in Christ Jesus
- 9. Key Takeaways Always be calm and collected and there will be a solution to the problem Take care of your mind and body as it is Gods gift to us Never reply when angry. Never make a decision when sad . Never make a promise when happy 4. Respect women as equal people in the society.
- 10. What are the benefits of being Thankful? • Can experience greed and hatred turn to Love • Obeying His will • Progress to Eternal Life • Experience the Fruit of the Spirit 1 Chronicles 16:34 "Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
- 11. Thankyou!
