Jude 20-25
But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.
To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.
I liked this a lot. The "snatch others from the fire" reminds me of a poem that I read a while back- it's my favorite poem ever:
Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell;
I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.
I'm sure that's been on my blog before but I was reminded of it recently. Pretty cool. I hope that's my life because everything else seems so boring.
