Scriptures to Pray for Family Unity

Prayer To Stop Disunity And Restore Unity In My  Family

Whether you’re part of a blended, single-parent, foster, adoptive, or traditional two-parent family, your family is important to God. You can ask him for anything in regard to your family as long as it’s in line with his heart, his desires . . . and essentially, His will. (See scripture prayers at the bottom of this post.)

Just so you know, family unity is definitely “according to his will.”

“Families are the basic, foundational social units in all human communities around the world, and healthy individuals within healthy families are at the core of a healthy society.”  University of Nebraska – NebGuide by UNL Extension Family Life specialists and educators. (John DeFrain, Gail Brand, Jeanette Friesen, Dianne Swanson) 

Healthy families are good for all of us, because the state of the family directly impacts the state of our society.

Strong families produce children who have the tools to grow up to become healthy, mature, well-adjusted adults.

The family unit is:

  • God’s idea
  • God’s design
  • An expression of God’s nature and essence (The Truth Project, Del Tackett)

How God designed the family:

When God formed the earth, flinging stars in the sky, and creating life, he said, “Let us make man in our image, after our ness.”

When he says “us”, he’s referring to the active participation of every member of the godhead in creation. Father. Son. Holy Spirit.

There’s community and relationship within God between:

God the Father . . . God the Son . . . God the Holy Spirit.

(John 10:30, 2 Corinthians 13:14, John 4:34, Matthew 26:39)

Within family, we’re meant to experience the same intimacy, oneness, community, and fellowship God experiences in the godhead. That’s his plan for our families.

Family members are meant to take care of one another, and sacrifice for “us.” But we’re each imperfect and we live with imperfect people. Rather than fighting with our families, it’s important to fight for our families.

Praying hard. Praying often.

Here are some powerful prayers you can use to pray for strength, unity, forgiving hearts, harmony, and steadfast love within your family. These prayers are powerful because they’re the things God has had inspired men write down for our benefit.

Scripture prayers for your home and family:

  • “Father God . . . I ask you to help each member of our family (name them) to be completely humble and gentle in our interactions with each other; and to be patient, bearing with one another’s faults in love – even when we’re tired, frustrated, angry, or hurt. Help us Father, to make every effort to remain united in the Spirit in this home. Please bind us together in peace.” Ephesians 4:2-3
  • “Gracious God . . . help us (name your family members) to love each other fervently. Grow our love so deep that it is able and willing to overcome and forgive a multitude of sins. Inspire a spirit of hospitality in (family member names) and enable us to cheerfully share our home with those who need a meal or a place to stay. God I acknowledge that you have given each one in this family spiritual gifts. Help us to put our own needs aside and use those gifts to serve one another well. We will rely on the strength and energy you alone supply. I pray that everything we do within this family unit will bring you glory through the One who lives in us – your Son, Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 4:8-11
  • “God – you are the One who gives us perseverance and encouragement. In you, we have hope. Help our family (name family members) live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting for followers of Jesus Christ.” Romans 15:5
  • “Loyal and trustworthy God, help my spouse (insert name here) and I to honor our marriage and clearly see how valuable and precious it really is. As we honor our marriage to one another, and our covenant with you, help us keep our marriage bed pure.” Hebrews 13:4

Практическое руководство по взлому (и защите) игр на Unity

Prayer To Stop Disunity And Restore Unity In My  Family

Когда речь идёт о программном обеспечении, термин «взлом» зачастую ассоциируют с пиратством и нарушением авторских прав.

Данная статья не об этом; напротив, я решительно не одобряю любые действия, которые прямо или косвенно могут навредить другим разработчикам. Тем не менее, эта статья всё же является практическим руководством по взлому.

Используя инструменты и методы о которых далее пойдёт речь, вы сможете проверить защиту собственной Unity игры и узнаете, как обезопасить её от взлома и кражи ресурсов.

Введение

В основе взлома лежит знание: необходимо понимать особенности компиляции Unity-проекта, чтобы его взломать. Прочитав статью, вы узнаете, каким образом Unity компилирует ресурсы игры и как извлечь из них исходные материалы: текстуры, шейдеры, 3D-модели и скрипты. Эти навыки будут полезны не только для анализа безопасности проекта, но также для его продвинутой отладки.

В связи с закрытостью исходного кода, Unity часто работает как «черный ящик» и порой единственный способ понять, что именно в нём происходит — это изучение скомпилированной версии скриптов. Кроме прочего, декомпиляция чужой игры может стать серьёзным подспорьем в поиске её секретов и «пасхальных яиц». Например, именно таким образом было найдено решение финальной головоломки в игре FEZ.

Находим ресурсы игры

Рассмотрим для примера игру, собранную под ОС Windows и загруженную через Steam. Чтобы добраться до директории, в которой находятся нужные нам ресурсы, откроем окно свойств игры в библиотеке Steam и в закладке «Local files» нажмём «Browse local files…».

Когда Unity компилирует проект под Windows, ресурсы всегда упаковываются по схожей схеме: исполняемый файл (например, Game.exe) будет находится в корне директории игры, а по соседству расположится директория, содержащая все игровые ресурсы — Game_Data.

Извлекаем текстуры и шейдеры

Большинство ресурсов Unity-проекта упаковываются в файлы проприетарного формата с расширениями .assets и .resources. Наиболее популярный на сегодняшний день инструмент для просмотра таких файлов и извлечения из них ресурсов — Unity Assets Explorer.

Графический интерфейс программы не отличается удобством, а также она страдает от нескольких критических багов. Не взирая на это, программа вполне способна извлечь большинство текстур и шейдеров из игры.

Полученные в результате текстуры будут иметь формат DDS, который можно «прочитать» с помощью Windows Texture Viewer.

С шейдерами ситуация обстоит сложнее: они извлекаются в уже скомпилированным виде и, насколько мне известно, решений для их автоматической трансляции в удобочитаемый формат не существует. Тем не менее, это обстоятельство не мешает импортировать и использовать полученные шейдеры в другом Unity-проекте. Не забывайте, однако, что подобная «кража» нарушает авторские права и является актом пиратства.

Извлекаем 3D-модели

Трёхмерные модели в типовой Unity-сборке «разбросаны» по различным ресурсам, а некоторые из них и вовсе могут генерироваться во время игры. Вместо копания в файлах, существует интересная альтернатива — получить данные о геометрии прямиком из памяти графического ускорителя.

Когда игра запущена, вся информация о текстурах и моделях, видимых на экране, находится в памяти видеокарты. С помощью утилиты 3D Ripper DX можно извлечь всю эту информацию и сохранить в формате, понятном 3D-редакторам (например, 3D Studio Max).

Учтите, что программа не самая простая в обращении — возможно, придётся обратиться к документации.

Взламываем PlayerPrefs

PlayerPrefs — это класс из стандартной библиотеки Unity, который позволяет сохранять данные в долговременную память устройства. Он часто используется разработчиками для хранения различных настроек, достижений, прогресса игрока и другой информации о состоянии игры.

На ОС Windows эти данные сохраняются в системном реестре по следующему пути: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\[company name]\[game name].

С помощью стандартной утилиты regedit можно легко модифицировать любые значения PlayerPrefs, изменяя тем самым конфигурацию и статус игры.

Защищаем PlayerPrefs

Помешать пользователю редактировать значения в системном реестре мы не в силах. А вот проверить, изменялись ли эти значения без нашего ведома — вполне реально. В этом нам помогут хеш-функции: сравнив контрольные суммы хранимых данных, мы сможем убедиться, что никто и ничто, кроме нашего кода эти данные не изменяло.

public class SafePlayerPrefs { private string key; private List properties = new List(); public SafePlayerPrefs (string key, params string [] properties) { this.key = key; foreach (string property in properties) this.properties.

Add(property); Save(); } // Вычисляем контрольную сумму private string GenerateChecksum () { string hash = “”; foreach (string property in properties) { hash += property + “:”; if (PlayerPrefs.HasKey(property)) hash += PlayerPrefs.

GetString(property); } return Md5Sum(hash + key); } // Сохраняем контрольную сумму public void Save() { string checksum = GenerateChecksum(); PlayerPrefs.SetString(“CHECKSUM” + key, checksum); PlayerPrefs.Save(); } // Проверяем, изменялись ли данные public bool HasBeenEdited () { if (! PlayerPrefs.

HasKey(“CHECKSUM” + key)) return true; string checksumSaved = PlayerPrefs.GetString(“CHECKSUM” + key); string checksumReal = GenerateChecksum(); return checksumSaved.Equals(checksumReal); } // …} Приведенный выше класс — упрощенный пример реализации, работающий со строковыми переменными.

Для инициализации ему необходимо передать секретный ключ и список PlayerPrefs-ключей, значения которых должны быть защищены: SafePlayerPrefs spp = new SafePlayerPrefs(“MyGame”, “PlayerName”, “Score”); Затем его можно использовать следующим образом: // Сохраняем данные в PlayerPrefs как обычноPlayerPrefs.SetString(“PlayerName”, name);PlayerPrefs.

SetString(“Score”, score); spp.Save(); // Проверяем, редактировались ли значенияif (spp.HasBeenEdited()) Debug.Log(“Error!”);

При каждом вызове метода Save, на основе значений всех параметров, ключи которых были переданы классу при инициализации, вычисляется и сохраняется контрольная сумма. Используя метод HasBeenEdited мы затем можем проверить, изменялись ли защищенные параметры без нашего ведома.

Взламываем исходный код

Для Windows-сборок Unity компилирует и сохраняет исходный код всех игровых скриптов в директорию Managed. Интересуют нас следующие библиотеки: Assembly-CSharp.dll, Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll и Assembly-UnityScript.dll.

Для декомпиляции и просмотра managed-кода .NET библиотек (коими и являются наши жертвы) существуют довольно удобные и при этом бесплатные утилиты: IlSpy и dotPeek.

Данных подход особенно эффективен для наших целей: Unity очень скупо оптимизирует исходный код игровых скриптов, практически не изменяя его структуру, а также не скрывает названия переменных. Это позволяет с легкостью читать и понимать декомпилированый материал.

Защищаем исходный код

Раз Unity не заботится о сохранности нашего кода — сделаем это сами. Благо, существует утилита, готовая автоматически зашифровать плоды нашего интеллектуального труда: Unity 3D Obfuscator. И хотя программа отлично справляется со своими обязанностями, многие классы, адресуемые извне родной библиотеки, всё же не могут быть зашифрованы без риска нарушения связанности — будьте осторожны!

Взламываем память игры

Cheat Engine — широко известная программа для взлома игр. Она находит ту область оперативной памяти, которая принадлежит процессу запущенной игры и позволяет произвольно её изменять. Эта программа пользуется тем фактом, что разработчики игр очень редко защищают значения переменных.

Рассмотрим следующий пример: в некой игре у нас есть 100 патронов; используя Cheat Engine, можно выполнить поиск участков памяти, которые хранят значение «100». Затем мы делаем выстрел — запас патронов составляет 99 единиц. Снова сканируем память, но теперь ищем значение «99».

После нескольких подобных итераций можно с легкостью обнаружить расположение большинства переменных игры и произвольно их изменять.

Защищаем память игры

Cheat Engine столь эффективна от того, что значения переменных хранятся в своём изначальном виде, без какой-либо защиты. Серьёзно усложнить жизнь «читерам» довольно просто: нужно лишь немного изменить способ работы с переменными.

Создадим структуру SafeFloat, которая послужит нам безопасной заменой стандартного float: public struct SafeFloat { private float offset; private float value; public SafeFloat (float value = 0) { offset = Random.Range(-1000, +1000); this.

value = value + offset; } public float GetValue () { return value – offset; } public void Dispose () { offset = 0; value = 0; } public override string ToString() { return GetValue().ToString(); } public static SafeFloat operator +(SafeFloat f1, SafeFloat f2) { return new SafeFloat(f1.GetValue() + f2.

GetValue()); } // …похожим образом перегружаем остальные операторы} Использовать нашу новую структуру можно следующим образом: SafeFloat health = new SafeFloat(100);SafeFloat damage = new SafeFloat(5); health -= damage; SafeFloat nextLevel = health + new SafeFloat(10); Debug.

Log(health); Если вы выводите значения переменных на экран, хакеры всё ещё смогут перехватить и поменять их, но это не повлияет на действительные значения, хранящиеся в памяти и использующиеся в логике игры.

Заключение

К сожалению, существует не так уж много способов защитить игру от взлома. Будучи установленной на пользовательское устройство, она фактически раскрывает все ваши текстуры, модели и исходный код. Если кто-то захочет декомпилировать игру и украсть ресурсы — это лишь вопрос времени.

Невзирая на это, существуют действенные методы, которые позволят серьёзно усложнить жизнь злоумышленникам.

Это не значит, что нужно вдаваться в панику, шифровать весь исходный код и защищать каждую переменную, но по крайней мере задумайтесь, какие ресурсы вашего проекта действительно важны и что вы можете сделать для их защиты.

The Need For Church Unity

Prayer To Stop Disunity And Restore Unity In My  Family
June 3, 2019

One of the greatest detriments to Church strength and growth is apostasy, falling away from the Truth.

  One of the signs that apostasy is affecting the Christian Church is the bickering and disunity among Christians.

One of the basic Truths that is violated when there is bickering in the Church comes from the words of Jesus when he said, “By this shall all men (the world) know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another”.

Every wise leader strives to achieve and keep unity because he knows unity is essential for success. This is especially true in Church leadership. Whether the leader is a pastor and leader of a congregation, or a denominational leader trying to keep many congregations healthy, these leaders realize success will never be reached without unity.

I have served many years in Church leadership positions and have seen Churches suffer to the point of dividing and dying because church members cannot get along.  Unfortunately it is not just members that cause the problems but leaders as well.

My last leadership position was serving as a denominational leader and most of my time was spent dealing with church problems.  All the problems were the result of fighting and quarreling.  The inability to get along was not just among the church members, but also initiated by pastors toward members.

  I have heard pastors say some very harsh and hurtful things to church members, words that drove the people away. Pastors sometimes lose sight that they are the Shepherds of the flock and it is a great loss to drive any sheep away from the fold.   At no time during these confrontations could the pastor honestly say, “I love this person”.

  Some of the quarrels that either split the church or caused the pastor to leave were extremely petty with no signs of Christian love.  As leader of the denomination I used the theme, “Loving God and Loving Each Other” and consistently reminded the leadership that if only we lived that theme everything would work for the glory of God.

The fighting and opposition between the members of the denomination’s administrative council, which originated from jealousy and pride that replaced the love of God in their hearts,  was eventually turned toward me and my family which made me realize I could no longer be effective leading the denomination.

I was the second leader in this particular denomination that felt the need to leave because of false statements and opposition. For many months after resigning from this position I truly felt the Christian soldier who had been wounded and left in the battlefield to die.

  I know the same denomination  still suffers from conflicts, and also suffers financially because  the opposition has caused some pastors to encourage their churches to withhold support to the denomination. This is not just opposition but “determined” opposition.  It is all due to lack of love and unity!

The apostle Paul also recognized the value of unity. From his own sufferings in Philippi he knew the infant Church faced determined opposition. Paul warned his friends of opponents, suffering, and conflict soon to come. Paul’s central concern to the Church at Corinth was also a concern of division.

Paul expressed his concern with these words, “I appeal to you brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought”.

  The Corinthians had formed cliques based upon the supposed superiority of various Christian leaders. These divisions had shattered the unity of the local congregation and created dissension.  Paul’s focus here is that the division in the Corinthian Church was wrong.

  Paul’s goal in his writing is found in the first sentence where Paul urges them to resolve their differences and restore unity in their Church fellowship.

It is alright to have differences of opinion on the non-essential matters such as styles of worship, times of worship, etc for these do not affect salvation.

Yet far too many Christians use these non-essential differences as justification for division or to even insight anger. When this occurs, the love of God in our hearts is sacrificed to our pride.

When pride fills our heart we lose the humility that is needed to bring unity. It is Satan that wants us to fall into the self abuse of division and bickering.

The Apostle Paul in writing to the Philippians made a threefold appeal to unity. This appeal is a valid appeal to the Church today.

United in Purpose:  Groups succeed when the members agree on their purpose and work together to achieve it. Even an average team can win a major game if the players work together. Paul challenged the Philippians to unite in their purpose.

  He first called on them to be worthy of the gospel. He exhorted them to behave in such a way that credit came to the gospel instead of discredit. Paul secondly encouraged them to uphold the gospel.

Upholding the gospel should unite any congregation.

United in Attitude:  Paul called on the Philippians to unite in “spirit”. This does not refer to the Holy Spirit, but rather to their attitude. Paul wanted them to be the early believers in Jerusalem who “were of one heart and soul” (Acts 4:32). This reflects not only unity of purpose, but also unity of heart.

Unfortunately, churches often fail to achieve this unity. Charles Swindoll tells the story of two declining congregations in a small town that had been struggling for several years. The two churches voted to merge in order to form one stronger congregation. The result was that the people were too petty to accomplish this purpose.

They could not agree on how to recite the Lord’s Prayer. One group wanted “forgive us our trespasses”, while the other wanted “forgive us our debts”.  The local newspaper reported that one church went back to it’s trespasses, while the other returned to it’s debts. Sadly, many congregations are these two.

The people may agree on the Church’s purpose, but they cannot agree on how to accomplish it.

United in Action:  Paul challenged the Philippians to strive “side by side”. This phrase comes from the Greek athletic arena. In team sports the members of the team have to help each other or they are sure to lose. Paul longed to see the Church members working side-by-side to present the gospel to their city.

A missionary told of a village in Africa where a little child wandered away from home as was lost in the tall grass. The villagers searched all day without finding the child. The next morning they formed a line, joined hands, and walked through the tall grass side-by-side. They soon found the child, but the child was dead.

In her grief the mother cried, “if we had only held hands longer”.

the believers at Phlippi, Christians today must join hands and hearts to uphold the gospel. When they share a common purpose, display a common attitude, and act in unison, the gospel will be upheld, people will be saved, and God will be glorified.

This is a strong statement to make, but when an individual, a congregation, or a denomination denies clear Scripture regarding unity and love for God and love for each other, and remains unrepentant after being admonished, then it is time to break fellowship with that group.

12 Ways To Preserve Christian Unity

Prayer To Stop Disunity And Restore Unity In My  Family

Satan hates God and therefore he hates God’s people, the church.

His great plan for the church is to cause Christians–true believers who ought to be together in the gospel–to find ways of disagreeing among themselves, to divide, to be bitter and jealous, and ultimately to “bite and devour one another” (Gal. 5:15). Here are twelve ways that you can repulse Satan’s attacks. Become a Patron

#1. Spend more time considering evidences of grace in other Christians than you do pondering their sins and weaknesses. You, as a Christian, probably have a much greater ability to see weakness in other believers than to see strength.

It is as if you use a magnifying glass when looking for weakness and a telescope when looking for grace.

Brooks warns, “Sin is darkness, grace is light; sin is hell, grace is heaven; and what madness is it to look more at darkness than at light, more at hell than at heaven.” Indeed.

#2. Consider that spiritual safety comes through spiritual unity. Christians united together are difficult to separate, difficult to break, difficult to pick off and destroy. It is when you isolate yourself by disrupting or denying unity that you are most at risk.

#3. Meditate on God’s many commands demanding that we love one another. When you feel your heart begin to turn against another Christian, this is the time to turn to the many commands to love one another–commands found in places such as John 15:12, Romans 13:8, Hebrews 13:1, 1 John 4:7, 1 Peter 1:22, and so on. Allow God’s Word to convict you of love’s necessity.

#4. Spend more time considering areas of agreement than disagreement. The doctrines you share with other true believers are the foundational doctrines; the ones you do not share are necessarily less central to the faith. Acknowledging that you and those with whom you disagree will spend eternity together should encourage you to not allow peripheral doctrines to separate you here on earth.

#5. Consider your peaceful God. God is the God of peace, Christ is Prince of peace and the Spirit is the Spirit of peace. Having made peace with God, having bowed before Christ, having been indwelled by the Spirit whose fruit is love, joy, peace…, you now have the ability, and ought to have the desire, to be at true, deep and lasting peace with other Christians.

#6. Renew in your mind and heart what it means to be at peace with God. Preach the gospel to yourself, because as you consider who you are in light of God’s perfect goodness, holiness and peace, you must soften toward others.

#7. Meditate on the unique relationship between Christians.

Psalm 133:1 proclaims the goodness and pleasantness of dwelling together in unity; there are some things in the world that are good but not pleasant and others that are pleasant but not good.

But to live in peace is both pleasant and good. Consider what it means to be bound together in God’s family with fellow travellers who are on that same pilgrimage to that very same destination.

#8. Count the cost of disunity. When relationships break down, disagreement inevitably follows, and every disagreement between Christians is a triumph of Satan. If you descend into disunity, you hand Satan a victory. Maintain peace and deny him the triumph!

#9. Be the first to seek peace and reconciliation. You are a Christian today only because God was the first to seek peace with you. You are now called and equipped to be the first to seek after peace and to attempt to pursue and maintain unity. As you do this you have the high honor of acting as an imitator of God.

#10. Walk and work together with other Christians as far as possible, making the Word the only judge of your actions.

It is God’s loss and your loss, and it is Satan’s gain, when you will not walk in love with other Christians, when you will not work arm-in-arm together, with those with whom you have so much in common. There is so much more of the Lord’s work we accomplish together than apart.

#11. Judge yourself more than you judge others.

If you were to spend more time considering your own sin, and less time considering the sins of others, you would never be so quick to judge and to separate yourself from other true believers.

Brooks says, “There are no souls in the world that are so fearful to judge others as those that do most judge themselves, nor so careful to make a righteous judgment of men or things as those that are most careful to judge themselves.”

#12. Pursue humility. Humility necessarily generates peace among Christians. Humility will prepare you to serve instead of be served, to overlook an offense, to pursue every kind of unity, to see others succeed where you fail, and to respond with joy and grace to every other possible source of disunity.

(These twelve points are chapter 5 of Thomas Brooks’ Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices.)

The Tweetable Puritan

  • Humility can weep over other men’s weaknesses, and joy and rejoice over their graces.
  • Humility makes a man richer than other men, and it makes a man judge himself the poorest among men.
  • There are no souls in the world that are so fearful to judge others as those that do most judge themselves.

  • It is not a base, low thing, but a God- thing, though we are wrong by others, yet to be the first in seeking after peace.
  • The disagreement of Christians is the devil’s triumph; and what a sad thing is this, that Christians should give Satan cause to triumph.
  • Unity is the best bond of safety in every church.

  • It is sad to consider that saints should have many eyes to behold one another’s infirmities, and not one eye to see each other’s graces.
  • Sin is hell, grace is heaven; what madness it is to look more at hell than heaven.

  • There is nothing that speaks a man to be more empty and void of God, Christ, and grace, than self-seeking.
