Today’s Thought “Assault on Christianity” G. Ward

“For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:4

Many seek to politicize great impropriety in sexual agendas, baby killings, public memorials of Bible statutes and prayer gatherings in substantiating an erosion of ethical behavior. Although the many sins of any nation may be entirely pervasive, it’s always been the responsibility of believers to lead by example and through promulgation of Holy God’s word. While Jesus our Lord wasn’t the quintessential political or social activist, He insisted there be compliance with earth’s citizenry (Mk.12:17, Ro.13:1-4).

Jude’s message embraced an imminent danger of the lack of compliance amidst those proposing more knowledge of God’s word than surrender to it. The ones (from the inside – cf. 1 Jn.2:18-20) who unconsciously dilute God’s standard to accommodate their insufficiency (i.e. inconsistent church attendance, lack personal bible study, etc.) are the most dangerous unto the church of Jesus. Their promptings spread like gangrene (2 Ti.2:14-17)…

Happy Tuesday!
