Keep Contending for the Faith No Matther How Strong the Resistance - Jude 1:3

Are you facing increased opposition when you share Christ accurately in your workplace, neighborhood, or church? We need to read the Book of Jude which challenges us to "contend for the faith."

I'm seeing increased name-calling, anger, and resistance when people share Biblical truths (especially when they talk about morality, accurate views of God, discernment, or Christian responsibility). 

And a good portion of the resistance comes from professing Christians misusing the “Judge not” argument.

God expects us to warn people of error even if they don’t listen (Ezekiel 33:1-20). He’s “nit-picky” about His Word (Matthew 5:18).

But just like the Old Testament prophet Jeremiah we can be hurt by the insults from the people we’re trying to help (Jeremiah 20:8-9). 

So today, I want to give a shout out to those of you who are contending for the faith, teaching Christian responsibility, standing for God’s morals against a growing wave of compromise (Jude 1:3).

 Never forget: “Great is your reward in heaven” (Matthew 5:10-12).
