In the midst of all of our own historical challenges, with wars spilling out across the globe, it is helpful to remember that God is the Lord of history.

Heard any good jokes lately? 

Jesus said, “I’m here to invite outsiders, not coddle insiders.”

In leadership character has always mattered.

God says hard words because he is calling us to a life that calls others to a life that the culture does not want.

When is the right time and where is the right place for us to live godly lives and share the gospel? Anytime and anywhere.

“Because Jesus is good news and Jesus is in me, I am good news.”

The Old and New Testaments bear witness to these two vital testimonies to God—the external witness of creation and the internal witness of God’s law.

Jude ends his letter on defending against what is false with an amen that is not a “the end” but a “to be continued” until Jesus returns.

This is far from a nice little bow to tie up his letter. This is the big finale.

Never confuse your role as a witness with the role of the Holy Spirit.

Defending the faith has nothing to do with our position with the other person, but everyting to do with our position in Christ.

Either we don’t know our false self and the division it’s creating, or the enemy wants to keep it that way.

Christ is the true ark of the covenant, and heaven is the New Jerusalem, the true seat of God’s dwelling.

The warning for us is not so much who weekly preaches in your pulpit, but who daily speaks into your soul.

We could also be the ones decieved in to going on other dark missions and sneering at what we don’t understand

Jesus is not only the protagonist of the New Testament, he’s the author of the Old Testament. That’s a big deal.

Because of grace God will love us no matter what, so we can do whatever, right? Nope, Jude is not having it.
