“But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.” It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.”

All,
This sticks out because we have much division now and Jude says for us to keep ourselves in the love of Christ…, have mercy on those who doubt. Jude also makes a distinction between the “people who doubt” and the “scoffers”. Please pray that we and our friends stay in the love of Christ and have mercy on the “doubters” while calling out the “scoffers” who cause divisions. Please pray for Cheever and Steven’s group.
