Remember What You Know

Scripture “But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold.” — Jude 17 Reflection Jude begins his final instructions with a remarkably simple word: remember. When life becomes confusing, our instinct is often to search frantically for something new—new information, new answers, new explanations, some insight that will suddenly make everything clear. Jude tells the church to begin somewhere else....

Hold the Faith Firmly, People Gently

Scripture “Speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.” — Ephesians 4:15 Reflection Jude tells believers to “contend for the faith.” Christians have sometimes heard those words as permission to become combative. We may imagine that faithfulness means winning the argument, exposing the error, defeating the opponent, or making sure everyone knows exactly where we stand....

Misused Grace

Scripture “They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality.” — Jude 4 Reflection The people Jude warns about were not simply rejecting Christianity. Their distortion was more subtle. They were using Christian language—especially the language of grace—to justify lives that no longer reflected the character of Christ. Grace can be misunderstood. We can begin with something beautifully true: God forgives us....

The Treasure & the Container

Scripture “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 3:11 Reflection Churches are full of things that matter deeply to people—sanctuaries, hymns, worship styles, traditions, programs, furniture, schedules, and customs. These things often carry memories of meaningful encounters with God, so it is understandable that we become attached to them....

Something Precious Has Been Entrusted to Us

Scripture “I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people.” — Jude 3 Reflection Jude describes the Christian faith as something that has been entrusted to us. That is an important word. An entrusted gift is not something we created, and it is not something we own completely....
