Netiquette: Rules for Survival on the Internet

Hello all,
Well, tonight is our big kick off and I am very excited for our upcoming year together! I just wanted to post a few final netiquette "rules" so that everyone can get the most out of our blog and our group this year.

Purpose of the blog:
-to build our friendships with each other while learning more about Christ and our daily walk with Him
-to encourage each other daily
-to provide an open space for questions and comments as we walk through life together
-a space for you to blog about the things that God is teaching you in your daily walk with him so that we can all learn and grow together
-a space for you to be helpful to each other
-to give you a space to post uplifting, fun and crazy pictures/videos/comments of your life events so we can share in them with you
-to keep everyone informed of the weekly happenings in Chaos
-to have fun!
-and that the following verse will be true of your life story:

Ephesians 3:17-19
Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
(NLT)

NOT the purpose of the blog:
-to post comments/videos/pictures etc. that are not uplifting or encouraging to others
-to gossip or slander others
-to use foul or obscene language
-to share with others or gossip about what has been posted on the blog.

Proverbs 20:19A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.

Matthew 12:36
But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.


Acts 13:15
Brothers, if you have a message of encouragement for the people, please speak.


1 Thessalonians 5:10-12
He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.


I can't wait to read about all of the things that God is teaching you and doing in your lives! Here's to a fantastic year together!
