I will read Jude through this week. Thank you for such a word.

"The great dilemma of the church in every age is how to be in the world but not of it. How can we be a witness to the world, how can we minister to the world, without taking up the values of the world?" Now this takes great wisdom, as exercised by Jesus himself, who dined with sinners but always won them to faith and salvation.

Christians are not skilled in the word of truth. Humanistic teachings from the pulpits is the cause. It takes the wisdom of "standing on the faith" to win the world. There is always a cost to this but as Rev. 12:11 says we overcome by our testimony, not loving our lives unto the death. We are called to bear "a testimony" to the world, not of ourselves but of God's great work in Christ not to be champions of American version of life, freedom and success.
