Breathe: Scripture Meditations
The Book of Jude

Breathe takes a look into the smallest book of the Bible, the Book of Jude with 1 chapter and 25 verses. Jude's message is relevant for today encouraging us to "contend to our faith" and be aware of false teachers who try to lead us away from God and his word.

"Scripture Meditations: “Now to him who is able to keep you from falling, and to make you stand without blemish in the presence of his glory with rejoicing, 25 to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time and now and for ever." (Jude 1:24-25)
