Jude-Patron Saint of Hopeless Cases

Sounds like the perfect Saint for my golf game.

But, really, as we take the next few weeks to study this tiny book of the Bible; we will see that he takes on many of the discussions of this age.

We learn that he warns of how we live and what we listen to and the fact that we all need to stay aware of the teachings that come our way.

He reminds us that we have an obligation, no, responsibility to be mindful and vigilant of our walk.

We can be our own worst enemy as we meander through our life, not seeking God, but wanting the next new thing that catches our eye or ear.

Normally we would have just gotten back from men’s retreat and been given some new inspiration for moving forward; also, many school activities, i.e., sports, band, and other things would be in play.  But now is a different and unique time bringing new challenges and other things that could cause us to lose heart or vision.

But let us endeavor to push forward as Jude encourages, embracing our position in Christ as He leads us to better things.

Moving forward,

Pastor Brent
