Jude 11 KJV [11] “Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.” The three men in this verse depict apostates. In doctrine, Cain rejected the blood atonement; in desires, Balaam sold out for money; and in disrespect, Core disrespected Moses. You will still find this true about the apostates of our day. They are in error in their teaching and handling of finances, and there is no regard for preachers who preach with authority. Someone asked me about …
“Brute Beasts”
Jude 10 KJV [10] “But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.” Apostates corrupt the public standards of society and the personal standards of individuals. These men may have doctorate degrees from highly respected universities, but they are ignorant of the spiritual things of God.

Underneath all the wit, personality, and charm, they are ravaging wolves who will stop at nothing to fulfill their wicked desires. …

Jude 9 KJV [9] “Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.” Our verse reminds us of the rank, the responsibility, and the restraint of Michael, the archangel, when dealing with the Devil. Even though Michael is the chief angel with great power and ability, he leaves the judgment of Satan up to the Lord and not himself. It is unknown how often any of us actually face the Devil. We undoubtedly battle our flesh and the …
“Filthy Dreamers”
Jude 8 KJV [8] “Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.” The morals of our nation have been decaying for decades. America has long accepted sins such as fornication, adultery, divorce, and pornography. Hollywood has not only whitewashed these sins but has strongly advocated them within the movie industry. The slogan “sex sells” is their theme, and family values are destroyed by these filthy dreamers. They are now taking their perversion to an even darker and more depraved level by promoting the LGBT movement. They want to exalt their wickedness and …
