With a true Pastor’s heart, Jude wrote his epistle to address false teaching and apostasy that was creeping into the church. His opening prayer was for “mercy,” something beyond grace that is needed in the midst of trying circumstances. The church today needs God's mercy as we behold the church at large now blatantly rejecting God’s plan for humankind. As we contend for the faith, He will see us through. Jude 1:1-5.
