Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and mercy that You've given us through Your Son. Help us to know You and Him and Your Holy Spirit better through our study of Your Word, and also strengthen Your Church, including all of Your missionaries, pastors and church leaders, and all those being persecuted for Your Son's name, including in North Korea, China, Africa and Muslim lands, and Christians here like Peter Vlaming who have lost their jobs for not compromising on Your Word, and keep Chinese leaders from corrupting Your Word in Chinese-language Bibles and help believers in North Korea and China, including children, to know You and meet in the truth of Your Word. Help us also as we face living in this time and place which is more and more rejecting Your Son and in which evil is so often called good and good evil, lies are called true and the truth called lies, and false accusers abound, as Satan's temporary grip on this world is increasing, and in which coldness is growing in many churches and those with the spirit of the tare and the spirit of the hireling so often have the loudest voices. Help us also to follow Your direction on how we are to live each day, not depending on our own sight or own understanding but on You, and help, too, our leaders in the world, including the Trumps and Pences, and help our nation also so that many hearts here turn back to You and many more souls are saved. Help and protect also children who are being abused and children in the womb and those fighting to protect them. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

It’s interesting that the book of Jude is just one chapter, and that it’s just before the book of Revelation.
It’s as much a reflection of this day, as it was the day it which it was written.

Take the condition and embrace the answer. The Way. Jesus.

Amen. Thanks for posting that Book. It does indeed have a great deal to say to this generation.

Jude 1.

Clearly one of the most powerful books in the NT with its citation of Enoch.

Every time I hear the Sons of Seth/Daughters of Cain argument, I think of Jude 1 and remember how so much of the entire Biblical narrative has been directed to a side rail by Jewish interpreters of ancient Lore and my well meaning Christian apologists who just can't bring themselves to grasp the importance of Genesis 6, Jude 1, and Ephesians 6:12 ("For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places...").

I.m praying for a reprieve that includes a nationwide revival otherwise it’s going to get real ugly. I caught a couple of minutes of a tv comedy. The guy is known for his temper. He said even God gets angry. Thing is, when God was telling Abraham of the promised land, He said it wouldn’t be for at least 400 years because the sin of the Amorite was not yet complete. God’s timeline is just.

The sin of the Amorite was child sacrifice and even knowing of the power of the God of the Israelites they still wanted the temporal rewards and were willing to do the abominable to get it.

All who voice the right to shed the blood of the innocent have done the same. It’s always been a spiritual war. Gear up!

"Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy"

"...I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day"

"And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you."

(Jude :24,2 Timothy 1:12,Isaiah 46:4)

I am undone,thankyou Lord Jesus!

Verse 10 defines today’s liberals perfectly.
