The little book of Jude is seldom read, and rarely preached—much to the loss of the Body of Christ. Whereas today many messages and ministries are trumpets giving an uncertain call (1Co 4:8), this small book is a clear call to believers in Jesus Christ to enter the invisible war raging from the beginning of time. In the age-old campaign of Satan against God, the issue is always truth or deception (Joh 8:44–45). Thus, Jude confronts the deceivers of his time with the timeless truth of the good news of life in Christ, and challenges those who have received this life to “contend earnestly [struggle valiantly] for the faith.”

Ephesians #34

Trip report Summer 2003. Light has the power to drive darkness away (Joh 1:1-12, Joh 8:1-12, Joh 9:5, Mat 5:16, Eph 5:8). Contrasts: (1) Light = God's Holiness; Darkness = Satan's lie and man's sin 1Jo 1:5-7; (2) light= life; darkness = death (Joh 1:4, Joh 8:12), (3) light = obedience; darness = disobedience (1Jo 1:5-7, 1Jo 2:9-11), (4) only two kingdoms - light & dark (Col 1:13, Eph 5:8, Eph 5:11). We've been transferred and transformed. The child reflects the parent -- the Father of Lights (Jam 1:17). We are to walk as children of light (Eph 5:8).
