When was the last time you read Jude? You can read it in a few minutes. Why not read it today and let us know if anything strikes you. It might really encourage others who read this blog.

One of the most neglected sections of Scripture is the book of Jude in the New Testament. Even though it can be read in only a few minutes (25 verses total) and is incredibly rich, seldom do we hear much about Jude.
Joe Thorn is fixing to begin a new series on Jude and his team developed some cool artwork (see below). Joe’s new series, along with a recent post and sermon by C.J. Mahaney, has me thinking in a renewed way about Jude. (It’s about spiritual dryness – – you really should read the post or listen to the sermon).
More at Joe’s site here.
Update: See this excellent post by Patricia Hunter. With concise words and photography, she zeros in on the central thought of Jude.
I spent some time chewing on Jude over the summer. I wrote my observations here. It’s still the overriding theme, I think, and that artwork seems perfect to me.
I read the book and am struck by how current it is. We all run around doing what’s right in our own eyes–“IMHO.” In the cryptic reference of v. 9 of Jude (which may be a Jewish myth?), the point is that even the archangels appeal to God’s authority over all. It is sobering.
