SPRING FORTH NOW 2025

Sunday, July 6, 2025

I, Jude, am a slave to Jesus Christ and brother to James, writing to those loved by God the Father, called and kept safe by Jesus Christ. Relax, everything’s going to be all right; rest, everything’s coming together; open your hearts, love is on the way!  Dear friends, I’ve dropped everything to write you about this life of salvation that we have in common. I have to write insisting—begging!—that you fight with everything you have in you for this faith entrusted to us as a gift to guard and cherish. What has happened is that some people have infiltrated our ranks (our Scriptures warned us this would happen), who beneath their pious skin are shameless scoundrels. Their design is to replace the sheer grace of our God with sheer license—which means doing away with Jesus Christ, our one and only Master.

Jude 1:1-4 (MSG)

To operate In Your Assignment is not a side task—it’s a sacred charge. Jude’s urgency reminds us that faith is not just something we receive, but something we must actively protect and live out. In the face of opposition, confusion, or weariness, God gives Hidden Manna—spiritual insight, fresh encouragement, and divine strength that may not be loud, but is always present. Guarding your faith while doing God’s work is part of your calling, and sometimes that means standing firm when others compromise. The life of salvation is not only to be believed but to be embodied and defended. Today, walk boldly In Your Assignment, trusting that God has equipped you with everything you need—seen and unseen—to keep the faith and inspire others to do the same. Let your life be a defense and a declaration of the grace you carry.
