Jude warns us of apostate persons who seem to be so nice and persuasive, but they are inwardly perverted. Jude warns us of their deceitful ways, and exhorts us in the way we can protect ourselves, and others from this deception: Remember the Word of God! Taking the Bible seriously is the most effective way to navigate this world of lies, deep-fakes, and deceptions that are now in everything we see or read. Everything must be tested and validated!

The thought of appearing before the Holy, Righteous God of the universe as "faultless" is quite stunning! Yet, this truth is a part of the Good News of Jesus Christ! Faultless before the Almighty! Hard to believe, but totally true! How is it possible? It is possible through the atoning work of Jesus on the Cross! The Doctrine of Justification means being “declared” righteous! This teaching is sure to give you great comfort as you and I will one day come face to face with the Lord of glory!

The Christian faith is not a playground, it’s a battleground. It’s a fight for the Truth, for Faith, for the Fear of God. There are "Danger Zones" that could sink us. Jude warns us of some of those danger zones to avoid.

Every Christian is called upon to contend, defend, and fight for the Truth of God’s Word and its beliefs and teachings. These passages train us on how we can do that: by remembering the Truth, guarding against unbelief, pride, and sexual immorality.

The Truth is constantly under attack and has been since the beginning when Satan lied to Eve about what God said and didn’t say. Today there are theologians, churches, and individuals who twist the truth of scripture. The Bible calls them ‘apostates’. We are called to not only know the truth but be able to defend it.

Jude 3 says to "contend earnestly for the faith." Do you know what "the faith" is? We want to give brief discussions on the basics of what Christians believe. It is so important to have a solid foundation for what we believe in a world full of many false ideas.
