A few days ago the Scriptures in II Thessalonians 2, were running through my head. Then Jude popped up in my mind. So I went there to see what he would have me learn. This has been a recurring theme for some time now. Usually when this happens ,He is trying to let me know that this is important and I better pay attention. Like a dope slap across the head. LOL!
As I read Jude I was impressed at many of the words that jumped out at me. I have read this many times, but each time there is something new to what I read. The entire book of Jude is to remind us of the last days, comparing them to the days of Noah, the Jewish exodus from Egypt, Sodom and Gomorha.
Jude, tho small in size is big in warnings and reminders. What jumped out to me was that people who are covetous, fornicators, lascivious and do down right evil and disgusting things, ARE NOT TO BE PART OF OUR LIVES! Verse 12 is most telling. These are spots in our feast of CHARITY, WHEN THEY FEAST WITH YOU!
What He is saying is we are not to be buddy buddy with anyone who is practicing such things. We are to witness and pray for them, and yes, love them enough to speak The Truth in Love.
How many times I have seen people who profess to love God and are seated with evil people who mock everything Christ stands for! How many times I have heard that! We need to examine our hearts and ask The Lord to help us have enough back bone to say something .
Our world is in deep do do. We need to be very careful in our lifetime to do what Jude has told us. We do not know in what hour our Lord will blow that Trump. " Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed , rightly dividing the word of truth." II Timothy 2:15. We are to be honorable people.
On September 9th, of this year, I wrote ,Ignorance of God and His way, it would be good to go back and read it.
