Jude authored his letter in Palestine, completing it about 65 A.D. The Epistle of Jude, often shortened to Jude, is the second to last book of the New Testament and the Bible as a whole and is traditionally attributed to Jude, the servant and half brother of Jesus and the brother of James. Jude wrote to expose the gross sin of the ungodly intruders of his day.
WHAT is easier than slipping, or letting things slip? We need not do anything to slip. On the edge of a stair, on an icy path, on a fruit-skin that has been carelessly thrown upon the pavement, on the polished floor of a room in which we spend half our time, we may slip and become cripples for life, if we live to be cripples. Or if it is not we that slip, a bit of food slipping may strangle us; a sharp knife slipping may cut an artery; a valued possession slipping may be lost to us; a priceless opportunity for doing or getting good may pass away beyond recovery. What one of the great movements of our life is in itself less noticeable than drifting?

Atheists make some valid points about the difficulty that Christians and Christianity find themselves in today. However, it is more complex than what they believe to be true.

2 Timothy 2:25-26 Updated American Standard Version (UASV) 25 instructing his opponents with gentleness, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to accurate knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.
YOU can trust God and his Word, the Bible, absolutely. GOD'S prophet Micah knew that promises can often prove unreliable. NOT one word out of all the good words that your God has spoken to you has failed.
