We live in a generation where many Christians “say” they love God, but they actually hate the truth of God’s Word. Many who claim to be Christians are worshipping their “idea” of God instead of the One True God who has revealed Himself in the Scriptures, and they actually expect Him to bless them for doing so. In his book, “No Place for Truth,” David Wells wrote: “Today’s Christianity actually has very little to do with truth. Christianity is only about feeling better about ourselves, about leaping over our difficulties, about being more satisfied, about having better relationships, about getting on with our mothers-in-law, about understanding teenage rebellion, about coping with our unreasonable bosses, about finding greater sexual satisfaction, about getting rich, about receiving our own private miracles, and much else besides. It is about everything except truth. And yet this truth, personally embodied in Christ, gives us a place to stand to deal with the complexities of life, such as broken relationships, teenage rebellion, and job insecurity. What is to be gained if we are so intent on reaching out to the unchurched that we then unchurch the reached?” We invite you to review the attached study guide and encourage you to share it with others who may benefit.

The greatest issue facing the church today is not Calvinism vs. Arminianism, not contemporary vs. traditional, and not King James vs. the New King James translation of the Bible. The greatest issue facing the church today is whether it can survive without truth, and with the biblical foundation of our faith hanging in the balance, and therefore, to some degree, the salvation of the next generation, I believe that question is being answered today in the decline, if not the death, of true evangelicalism.

Even though Jude is the 4th smallest book of the Bible, it spans the history of the whole bible beginning with the birth of Apostasy in Adam’s day, when he and Eve questioned, and then rejected, the truth of God’s Word, and became victims of the devil’s lie.
