many of you will pray for me I didn't say say your man let me see your hand all right bless you Zhu Zhu se Jew first chapter 3rd verses Rhys like this beloved when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation it was needful for me to write unto you and exhort you that you should honestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the site may the Lord at the blessing to the reading of his word come on repeat after me contending for the faith say it again contending for the faith you'll have to be very ingenious or smart you don't need to have been around many still people to know that the Church of God in Christ who proclaimed a unique kind of faith has come a long ways and we've come a long ways no matter how it appears or how young all we are we have still come a long ways we still support the words of the musical artists we still believe we never would have made it if it had not been the Lord who was on our side we believe that God only calls us to stand where stand in this mixed-up world and this society who is changed lanes on us we have encountered many opposes to our original faith many have attempted to satisfied even dilute our original faith but our warning and encourage of prevails with us to contend for the original faith that was once delivered to the Saints and so our spiritual communities are susceptible to disease and as our physical bodies but buddy it's easier to detect whatever is wrong in our stomach our lungs than it is to in our worship or witness because when our physical bodies see or damage the pain calls our attention to it and we have the privilege to do something very quickly about it the word faith in the English vocabulary has gone on to mean a number of things to a number of people these definitions are dependent on the person whom you're speaking into a scientist who deals with validity visual verification and sensual data faith is virtually and no nope in this modern scientific enlightened world of faith and reason faith has almost been forced to take the black seat to scientific reason in microscopic visible proof we move from the medieval age through the Renaissance and now into the modern age of the 21st century an age where everything is subject to proof by the five senses seeing hearing feeling smelling or tasting in this scientific age has caused many to question the very validity of the Bible they say it is a book of the distant past and has no meaning and relevancy for modern man not only have a question the Bible they're still questioning the God of the Bible this is a critical age we live in a messed up day we live an age where me and a lover of themselves rather than falling in love with God modern science is about verification seeing hearing feeling smelling and tasting and of course one writer said the late great planet rain the anti-christian philosophy the theologian said if you cannot see it cannot see him with the naked eye it does not exist another one said that man created God in his own image another one another one evinced a said that God is not alive it's a fantasy is something that dear Caucasian gave us to keep us subjected to his harsh rule God they say he's dead because man is now so smart that we really do not need God the new philosophies in the other theologians and theologies have delivered a damaging blow to the church the wind you read the text today you will notice that this here's nothing new to the church it was true in Jews de Jude saw have fallen away from the faith and the common salvation that was once delivered to the Saints of old so the book of Jew was written to Jewish Christian those Jews who were now living in various parts of the Roman Empire outside of Palestine Jews book is more than an apologetic it is to defend the faith rather than explain it it is a fight against heretical and anti-christian forces in the world and so Jude is saying to the judge you have a salvation you have been delivered from the law of sin in there you have a faith a faith that was once delivered to you as Saints but the forces of evil trying to destroy your faith in Jesus Christ and you have a talented you are going to have to continue you got to strike a rasa and fight for the faith of the saints Oh blesses me tell the Lord thank you the Lord come on say defended defend their fight for you fight for you and saw our brothers who saw what had happened since we received the gift and what's going on now and we'll continue to go on well into the future the twisting of God's Word the seeking to deceive and destroy those who have committed their lives then we have the teachers who provide the truth we have the dreamers we have without water Oh bless His name we have the forerunners the gnostic the heretics who claim spirituality and so brother Jude said I'm a slave Jesus Christ and a brother obtained singing with her song and knowing what I know I dropped everything I was doing to write to you this letter I thought it's so necessary so significantly I thought the word penny crack you about the common salvation that we have in common this way that God has entrusted fight fight with everything God your faith in God whites out and be late remind you come to remind you that your community is a community of saints some people feel great our church the touch of Tuesday was being precious on every side both by Judaism and paganism Judaism was trying to get them to return to the lawful salvation the pagans they were back to those who had fallen away from that for you honestly babe that was once delivered to the site is to live your sanctification without the faith of God is you tell the law yeah yeah yeah [Music] the [Music] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] sonica that CDs
