提要
猶大書是針對滲入教會的假師傅嚴加韃伐的一封信,雖然猶大對異端邪說並無深入說明(顯然讀者對他指控的對象十分熟悉),卻是毫不留情的予以譴責。他不但直陳假設師傅的過錯,也指責錯誤累累的假師傅,並表示上帝的審判很快就要臨到這些害人害己的異端身上。至於信徒如何抵擋這樣的攻擊呢?就是「要在至聖的真道上造就自己」(20節) |

每日與主同行
對一個準備參加奧運的運動員來說,下列十種活動或飲食絕不會出現在他的訓練計畫裡。
深夜電視 迷幻藥
跳傘 晚起
油膩的甜點 速食
通宵舞會 烟
酒 飲料
一個想在運動場上一爭長短的運動員(若想獲勝就更不用說了),體能必須處於顛峰狀態才行,所以對於適當的飲食、充分的睡眠和日常的練習都有一套嚴格的訓練。
你的靈屬操練計畫有什麼進展?是否定期參加一些活動,使你能「為真道爭辯」(3節)?為下禮拜寫一個你自己的「屬靈操練計畫」,其中一定要包括三件猶大提到的:禱告、憐憫與分享基督(20、21、23節)

默想
猶大奇特的引言(9、14、15節)
猶大是新約作者中極少數引用偽經作品的一位(偽經以舊約經中著名的人物命名,但不是由他們著書立論,有些學者不認為這些書是上帝默示的)。保羅也曾引用過這些未受默示的資料(參閱徒17:28;多1:12)。

金言
屬靈的操練猶如逆水行舟;因為天國遠在山頂上。 |

12/21/2013 Defending the Faith |
Scriptures: | Jude |
Heart of the Passage: | Jude 3-4;17-23 |
Overview
Jude's epistle is a firm denunciation of false teachers who are infiltrating the church. Though Jude does not describe the heresies in detail (since his readers would no doubt be familiar with the targets of his verbal blasts), he spares no words in rebuking the false teachers. He condemns both the error of [he teacher and the teacher of the error, promising God's swift judgment for their damaging heresies. How is a believer to resist such onslaughts? By "building up yourselves [in] your most holy faith" (v. 20). |

Your Daily Walk
Below is a list of 10 items you'll probably never find on the training regimen of an athlete preparing to compete in an Olympic competition. Can you suggest a reason why each should be avoided by a serious athlete?
Late-night TV Drugs
Skydiving Sleeping late
Rich desserts Fast foods
All-night parties Smoking
Alcohol Soft drinks
If an athlete has any hope of competing (much less winning), he or she must be in top physical condition. That requires a strict regimen of proper diet, adequate rest, and regular exercise.
How is your spiritual fitness program coming? Are you regularly involved in activities to help you "contend for the faith" (v. 3)? Write out your own "spiritual training schedule" for the coming week. Be sure to include the three items Jude mentions: prayer, compassion, and sharing Christ (w. 20, 22-23).

Insight
Jude's Curious Quotations (vv. 9. 14-15) —
Jude is the only New Testament author who quotes from the writings called the Pseudepigrapha (books which bear the names of famous Old Testament characters but were not written by them, and which scholars do not consider inspired). Paul also quoted from uninspired sources (see Acts 17:28, a Roman poet; Titus 1:12, a Cretian prophet).
