Be careful little mouth what you say. These ungodly men flatter others for their own advantage. Listen to what people say, how they talk, what they talk about. It will show whether they are holy or unholy. The ungodly men are grumblers and fault-finders. They boast about themselves. These traits are all cluse to show who the false teachers are. Pay attention to what people say!

Jude 11-13
July 11
These ungodly men have chosen their destiny. They have taken the way of Cain. They are selfish, feeding only themselves. They are useless, clouds without rain. They are wild waves, tossing to and fro, confusing things. They are dead - uprooted trees with no fruit. They are bright, but lead no where for they are wandering. Woe to them! God has reserved the blackest darkness for them. They have gone their own way and will be destroyed.

The things that destroy the ungodly men are things they understand - the sin nature. The things they do not understand - things of God - are what they speak out against. They pollute their own bodies - with sin. They reject authority. As Christians, we are to accept authority. They slander celestial beings - angels. They are destroyed by their own actions - like unreasoning animals - instinct drives them.

Jude 5-7
July 9 - Choice
We have a choice. We can believe or not believe. There are grave consequences for non-belief. Jude reminds us of 3 examples: The Lord destroyed the Israelites who did not believe. The angels who abandoned their home are kept in chains in darkness. Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed - eternal fire. Three consequences: destruction, darkness in everlasting chains, and eternal fire. This serves as a reminder that sin does not go unnoticed. The Israelites were delivered, but later some were destroyed for their unbelief. The angels lived in heaven, but some were sentenced to darkness and chains because of abandoning their own home. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah gave in to the sexual immorality and perversion around them and were destroyed by fire. God exacts his punishment when the time is right.

Jude 1-4
July 8
God's grace is not a license for immorality. Beware of people whose purpose is not to encourage and correct. Beware of people whos purpose is not to give God all glory. Beware of those who slip in and begin to teach falsely. How will I recognize false teachings? By being in the Word daily. By being in prayer over the Scriptures. By being sensitive to God's spirit. When the false teachers are made known, I must be ready to fight for my faith and for truth.
