Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 6, 2018

Headstrong and brazen, the apostates speak disrespectfully in areas of which they are ignorant. They do not realize that in any ordered society, there must be authority and there must be subjection to authority. And so they surge forward and swagger . . .

Part 5 (3/6/18) A Lesson for Today’s believers The apostasy of these ungodly people was abundantly evident, but Jude urges caution in pronouncing judgment on such ungodliness.

Are Leaders Appointed By God Or Does He Allow Them?

Contributed by Dr. Craig Nelson on Nov 14, 2024
